Detail: Asia Art Center (Shanghai) is honoured to announce that a new exhibition entitled Watching the Clouds Roll By: Koon Wai Bong Solo Exhibition will be held from 10 April to 6 June 2021. It is the third time held by Asia Art Center, after the In the Breeze: Koon Wai Bong Solo Exhibition held by Asia Art Center (Taipei II) in 2017 and Shén Yóu: Koon Wai Bong Solo Exhibition held by Asia Art Center (Beijing) in 2019. As the first time Koon's artworks are gathered in Shanghai in the form of a solo exhibition, it consists of more than twenty ink works completed in recent years, presenting his new creation and thinking in a rich and comprehensive manner.

The title of the exhibition entitled Watching the Clouds Roll By: Koon Wai Bong Solo Exhibition is quoted from My Retreat in the Zhongnan Mountains by Wang Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. As Wang wrote, 'I'd stroll to seek the fountainhead, and there take a seat to admire the sky and watch clouds grow.' The Eastern Jin poet Tao Yuanming also wrote that 'there clouds idle away from their mountain recesses without any intent or purpose, and birds, when tired of their wandering flights, will think of home.' At that time, ancient scholar-bureaucrats admired an atmosphere of deep and clear, the romantic under the forest, and pursued the self-awareness of tranquility and otherworldly. Their aesthetic appeal tends to be clear, secluded, cold, quiet and natural. These temperaments are perfectly reflected in Koon Wai Bong's artistic creations.
