Canton Modernpresents twentieth-century Cantonese art and visual culture in its full complexity as an important chapter in global modernism. United in a shared linguistic and cultural identity, the southern port cities of Guangzhou (also known as Canton) and Hong Kong were historically marginal in China. The birthplace of revolution, the two cities gave rise to a distinctive visual and artistic modernism, one shaped by cross-cultural interactions and tensions between conservative and progressive artworlds. Cantonese artists broke away from the elegant poetics of classical ink painting to forge a socially oriented realism, depicting subjects ranging from leisure and labour to war and disaster. Working as journalists and publishers, they exploited the immediacy and circulation of print, photography, and cartoons to intervene in and even reform society.

"Chen Fushan Studio" uses Chen Fushan's home studio as a reference, and selects his personal belongings from his former residence in Wan Chai, including various household furnishings, hand-painted paintings and collections of books for display, in order to reproduce Chen's living environment and the layout when he was painting. Visitors can take a look at the original appearance of his former creative space outside the glass room, explore Chen's creative world with another visual experience, and gain a deeper understanding of the multiple aspects of this local artist. "Chen Fushan Studio" also leads the audience to review Chen's artistic journey and style development by displaying historical photos and text records about Chen's life, and wander in the story that created the legendary life of the "Watercolor King". Based on the contemporary era, it traces the trajectory of Hong Kong art history from the side.

It aims to recognise important artistic practices in the region and to promote the strength and diversity of Chinese artists on an international platform.

An “environment” is an artwork that is actively participated in by the viewer. As the viewer moves through or around an environment, they are stimulated by objects, light, moving images, and sounds. Environmental art has been a major branch of art around the world since the mid-twentieth century, laying the foundation for today’s popular immersive experiences. However, the important history of this art form is not well understood, as most pioneering environments have been dismantled after being exhibited, and the art world has until now focused almost exclusively on male artists.
