Abstract<\/h5>\n

This presentation introduces the ongoing PhD project on the late Hong Kong-based artist Ha Bik Chuen (b.1925, Guangdong, d. 2009, Hong Kong). A self-taught artist who did not receive any academic training in art, Ha\u2019s prolific creative output includes works across media as prints, sculptures, ink and mixed media paintings, and collage books that were discovered posthumously. The archive he left behind includes 50 years\u2019 worth of exhibition documentation and ephemera, including photographs of over 2500 exhibitions that he took inside and outside of Hong Kong. This presentation focuses primarily on Ha Bik Chuen\u2019s prints and print matrices which he called motherboards. It analyses the iconography and the production process of both motherboards and prints, to explore how Ha as a self-trained artist experimented through composition, materials and repetition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
