Visit to Gayle Chong Kwan Exhibition at the Chinese Gallery 29th July 2006
We had a very enjoyable visit to the Gallery and looked at a selection of landscapes created from various foods.
Bread had been used to create theillusionof structures and paths and fences and fruit waswidely used to depict flowers and foliage.
One of the landscapes was created with chocolate and it had been used in blocks, melted and crumbled. Quite amazing.
The curator gave us a warm welcome and told us how the gallery had come to exist in order to give chinese artists a venue in which to show their work.
We adjourned to the sitting area and enjoyed the opportunity to smell the different flavoured tea leaves and finally to taste a tea of our choice. Itried the white tea, which was very refreshing and some of the other members of our group tried "rose bud" and Green tea".
A very interesting visit and our thanks to the curators and Mary for making our visit possible.
