Artist / Liu Jung Hui
Liu Jung-Hui, renowned ceramic artist from Taiwan, is well-known and popular among international collectors despite his young age (b. 1972). In 2018, it was with great honour in joint venture with Taiwan Fu Gui Tao Yuan, Touch Ceramics presents the first ever exhibition of Liu in Hong Kong -- "Watching the Clouds" Ceramic Exhibition. Liu's creation focuses on life aesthetics with specialty in vase and tea ware. Multi-layered embossing and hollow shapes are his signature. His work incorporates landscape and scenery, simple and yet graceful. Like the flow of clouds.
