Another Dream is a nostalgic recording of those years
in Florence, Italy
when I painted Li Ching Chao’s poem ( Lyrics) on Big canvases in colour
the first Series were done in 1997
a more important series began in 2000, in the Florentine Villa Romana founded by Max Klinger where I was an artist in residence for a month
and concluded at White Mountain Academy Of the Arts in Canada, where I taught from August 2002 to May 2003
perhaps it is inevitable that I am repainting some of my favourite Chinese poems again
as I am now residing in Hong Kong , after having left this city for forty some years
but the mood is different: joyful instead of sad
the medium is different: instead of acrylic on canvas, watercolour on blind made with paper
A return to my youthful self
As a forever celebration
