Sketching Hong Kong is a panoramic record of Hong Kong by the Indonesian-Chinese painter Eddie Chau (1945-2020).  A testament to geographical history, each painting is a passage in Hong Kong’s story, each stroke a moment in time.  It also serves as a retrospective of Chau’s art from his early years in Bandung, his coming-of-age in Guangdong and his final decades in Hong Kong.

《慢寫香港》 是畫家鄒源榮的作品集,收錄了他筆下香港地脈全景圖和不同時期的素描速寫。鄒源榮(1945-2020)是印尼華僑後代,1992年由內地移居香港,從業餘作畫到成為全職畫家,一直創作不懈。香港自從上世紀七十年代開始移山填海打造一個國際大都會,地脈及天際線就不斷移動,鄒源榮的畫作可以說是香港地理史的補遺,每一幅都抒寫着這小城的故事。守護香港的方法有很多,「記錄下來」肯定是其中之一,且彌足珍貴。

Eddie Chau (1945–2020) was a Chinese painter born in Bandung, Indonesia. When the anti-Chinese riots broke out in 1965, many overseas Chinese returned home. Eventually settling in Hong Kong in 1992, Eddie became known for his panoramic watercolour landscapes of Hong Kong.
