Chinese Whispers: Paintings and Drawings by David Paskett, President of the Royal Watercolour Society, opened last night with a cocktail reception at our gallery space.

David is recognised as one of Britain's leading watercolourists.  His work is held in many private and public collections including the Royal Collection of HM The Queen and the British Museum. He is a frequent exhibitor at London's Bankside Galley where he receives international acclaim.

David lived in Hong Kong during the 1980s and China continues to be a great source of inspiration. A Vision of China: The Paintings of David Paskett was published in 2004.

Chris Patten, the last Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Hong Kong, was spotted recently paying a visit to our Prince's Building shop during his whirlwind tour of Asia.  He is seen here enjoying our appropriately themed Nostalgic-Hong Kong display.

French photographer Matthieu Paley's first solo exhibition An Ethereal World - Journeys to the Edges of Asia enjoyed a brilliant and packed opening cocktail party on Tuesday, 18th - with more than 300 attendees who came to see the works and listen to a talk given by Matthieu on how and where these photos were taken.

This collection of seventeen awe-inspiring photographs, taken by Matthieu in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan and Siberia, represent much of the photographer's finest work over the past decade.  Please click here for more on the works exhibited.

Look out for Picture This' minibuses in town - they can be spotted all over Central, Mid-levels, South-side, and Causeway Bay.  This year's minibus advertisements are themed by our main product lines and include a fine photography bus, a poster bus, as well as an antiquarian book bus.

Picture This is pleased to support The Man Hong Kong International Literature Festival 2010. On Tuesday evening the gallery was transformed to become the venue for award-winning New Zealand author Emily Perkins to introduce and discuss her latest work, Novel About my Wife.  Ms. Perkins talked about this new atmospheric psychological thriller set in a dark and sometimes desperate London.  The event, assisted by the Creative New Zealand and the New Zealand Book Council, was moderated by television presenter Karen Koh.

 

Norman and Tony, both Hong Kong based, has each had over thirty years experience in the graphic arts and design field.  Where Norman finds his artistic expression in the distressed abstraction of Hong Kong’s streets and walls, Tony looks up to find abstraction through the reflective patterns in Hong Kong’s high rise buildings.
