Description
風景 (fengjing) is the standard Chinese term for landscape, literally "wind-scene," and the English title "Windscape" foregrounds the breath and atmosphere implicit in that compound. Produced in 2024 on Somerset paper, the work combines screen printing with digital printing — a hybrid common in HKOP's contemporary output, where photographic or vector-derived imagery is layered beneath or over hand-pulled screens. The combination allows continuous-tone passages (sky, mist, distant ground) to coexist with the flat opaque inks of the silkscreen, producing a registration of depths rather than a single picture plane. The composition likely draws on the shanshui tradition Cheung has long worked within as an ink-wash painter, in which landscape is treated as a vehicle for poetic and philosophical reflection rather than topographic record. Within his practice, this piece sits at the intersection of his classical training and the technical resources of the cooperative print studio he helped establish.
