加華藝廊

香港上環四方街廿三號地下（文武廟側街）

每日下午一時半至六時

"The Chinese Calligraphy Bible" by Cathy Ho

很感謝香港上環四方街的加華藝廊李先生提供我差不多整個藝廊的場地，來展出書法作品。至於癸酉時寫的「下筆如有神」仍佔一個不輕的地位，被選登載於「易拉架」上。

說起來也算是一段機緣的巧合吧，兩月前路過四方街加華藝廊，停步到內觀賞香港昔日舊照展覽。在與老板李先生的閑談中扯上了書法的話題；當時我急於上課，沒多說便上路了。

在課還未完成，李老板來電囑我課後到店一聚。原來李老板巳胸有成竹地表示有意為我安排展覽，展期將在二月。在這數小時間，「太極意念書法展」就這樣地決定起來。

我駭然想起時間實在趕逼，便密鑼緊鼓地在這短短的一段時間裡，把自己關起來做好要做的事。

自07年出版了以英文寫的 ‘The Chinese Calligraphy Bible' 後，我的書法展也繼而頻密起來，除了在英國境內展覽外，還到溫哥華和師友為紀念林千石老師而籌劃展覽。在英方面，參加了利物浦雙年展期間和當地藝術家的六房藝展，當地劇院中國藝展，曼徹斯特的華人藝術中心的二人展，和諾定咸大學湖畔畫廊的個展。此外，也被邀到畫廊，博物館，文化中心，華人藝術中心，學校，孔子學院等地舉辦書畫的工作坊。這次能在香港展出書法，是一個難得的機會。雖然在我離港前也曾有數的展覽，然能回到中國人的地方展出，一直是我的期望。

說起來自我十四月前回港後，這是繼真光中學後的第二次個展，我是很幸運地得到各方的幫忙，謝謝！

Tai Chi Chinese Calligraphy Exhibition

1 - 28 February 2013@1pm - 6pm, 

Cawah Arts Gallery

32 Square Street, Sheung Wan, HK

It was a pure coincident on what was going to happen when I walked up Square Street on one December afternoon on my way to give calligraphy lesson.  I stopped by Cawah Gallery to view a photography exhibition of Hong Kong in the 50's. Mr Li, the gallery proprietor was there and we got talking about Chinese calligraphy and arranged to show him my artwork in a later date. I didn't expect much and was surprised to receive a call for a meeting after my lesson. And there and then, an exhibition of my calligraphy was arranged in the month of February, the Chinese New Year.

Since the publication of "the Chinese Calligraphy Bible" in 1997, I have had a series of exhibitions in the UK cities and Vancouver. Besides that, I also gave Chinese Calligraphy and Tai Chi workshops in the North West and the midlands of England, including Liverpool University, Nottingham University, Confucius Institute, the Chinese Arts Centre, Radio Merseyside and schools.

Though my stay in Hong Kong has been just fourteen months, this is my second solo exhibition in Hong Kong since the True Light Middle School exhibition last year. I am grateful for the help I have got and looking forward to this New Year exhibition!
