Celebration of Chinese New Year with Auspicious Flowers: Chinese Ink Painting Demonstration by Chan Wing-sum

As Lunar New Year is just around the corner, every household is getting ready to decorate its home with auspicious flowers to enrich the festive atmosphere and to wish for a good year to come. Flowers like peonies are believed to symbolise prosperity and wealth, peach blossoms are thought to bring popularity and affinity, and tangerines represent auspiciousness. Both real flowers and paintings of these auspicious flowers are popular for home decoration at Lunar New Year. The Museum has invited Mr Chan Wing-sum, artist of the Lingnan School of Painting, to conduct a Chinese Ink painting demonstration of various auspicious flowers to celebrate Chinese New Year with the audience.
