Cheung Shun Street Cheung Sha Wan｜Hong Kong's Colour Walk – Photo Collection & Exhibition "Walks of Colours" Now Launched

Description

"When the orange light of a construction crane pierces through the mist of Lion Rock, when a purple scarf is tied to a green window frame of a tong lau—Hong Kong tells its story through color." Walks of Colours is not just a photography book; it is a unique color adventure, aimed at inspiring the people of Hong Kong to rediscover the beauty of their city and enjoy the process.

As Colour Walk trends sweep global cities, artellex presents Walks of Colours – a visual guide to Hong Kong’s vibrant palette. Following 2023’s acclaimed 大隱若兔 The Hidden Rabbit, photographers Alex Chan and Lok Cheng (Manager of M+ Museum Photo Studio) collaborate with poet Tim Tim Cheng to map the city’s soul through its colours. Hong Kong’s colonial-meets-modern tapestry reveals surprises in every corner. This collection captures fleeting moments where hues converge – not just documenting streetscapes but unveiling the city’s living spirit.

Hong Kong is a city brimming with diverse colors and stories, merging colonial architecture with modern design, with surprises lurking in every corner. In Walks of Colours, the photographers capture moments where urban colors intersect, presenting not just external sights but the very soul of the city, allowing readers to feel the vibrancy and beauty of Hong Kong with every turn of the page.

The book features over a hundred selected images, from deep red mailboxes to bright yellow cranes, from the vividness of blue houses to graffiti on buildings. Each photo emphasizes the spirit of color, paired with "color impressions" silhouettes, transforming documentary work into something poetic. Additionally, the five verses by poet Tim Tim Cheng add depth to this colorful journey, encouraging readers to discover the humor and meaning often overlooked in their daily lives.

artellex has also specially invited "Hei Shing Book Design" to design the book, combining intricate designs with high-quality images to enhance the overall reading experience. This digital printing studio continues to promote local photography and publishing, providing a platform for young photographers and illustrators to showcase their creativity.

artellex is also displaying some works from Walks of Colours in the studio, combining high-quality printing technology with a journey of color, allowing photographers, industry professionals, and photography enthusiasts the opportunity to personally experience the unique colors of Hong Kong.

artellex aspires to continually delve deeper into the fields of digital printing and publishing, safeguarding the beauty of cultural fusion between the East and West through Walks of Colours. We sincerely invite readers to open this book, attend the event, and embark on a colorful Color Walk journey through Hong Kong, experiencing the fun and charm of the Colour Walk with every step.
