“The circle is me, the form of my own being, and the image that I value and cherish. It is the milieu and space at the moment, the world of perfection I seek after.’ – Hon Chi-fun.

The use of circle represents Hon’s journey of soul, his perspective of life and death. From his use of the shape, it is understood that religious, literary, and Chinese ideology play a significant role in Hon Chi-fun’s art.

On April 6, 2019, Asia Society Hong Kong Center, along with museums across the world invite you to hit the pause button, slow down, and to look at art on international Slow Art Day. At the Chantal Miller Gallery we encourage visitors to spend 5 to 10 minutes in front of selected works—and to build a conversation with the art.

The tour will be led by our experienced docent. Before the tour, our docent will facilitate a discussion on Hon’s art, abstract art and the Chinese ideology within.

Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art. One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums to look at art slowly. Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes and then meet up to discuss the experience.

We hope to slow down with you on April 6!
