Ink is a unique artistic medium. Works by ink artist(s) and practitioners have always become the ways to explore the relationships between traditional and contemporary practices, and to study the complexity of the multifaceted contemporary cultural contexts. HART artists-in-residence Chui Pui Chee and Natalie Chu are graduates from The Chinese University of Hong Kong yet growing up from different environments. How have they learnt about Chinese art? How do they transform these concepts and expressions with a long history in their creative approaches and languages?

水墨是獨特的藝術類型。關注及從事水墨的藝術家，一直以作品詮釋傳統與創新的關係，及思考如何面向複雜多變的當代文化情境。本對談的兩位HART駐場藝術家同為中大藝術系畢業生，卻成長於不同環境，他們怎樣學習及理解中國藝術？又如何將歷代觀念與表達形式，轉化為個人創作的方法和語言？
