The HKUST Library and Division of Humanities present
 

In collaboration with DAO, the Library proudly hosted an exhibition showcasing the distinguished works of renowned local calligrapher Dr. Sze Chi Ching. A lifelong devotee of the art, Dr. Sze began his calligraphy journey in his youth and has spent over eight decades refining a style that harmoniously blends classical tradition with personal expression.

Dr. Sze’s calligraphy has been widely exhibited, including a solo exhibition at HKUST in 2009. This latest exhibition presents a curated selection of his masterpieces, featuring interpretations of ancient poetry and classic sayings. Together, these works reflect his profound mastery of the art form and his distinctive aesthetic sensibility.

This exhibition aims to promote calligraphy art and facilitate cultural exchange, allowing more people to experience the beauty of calligraphy and the tranquility and wisdom it embodies. We sincerely invite everyone to explore Dr. Sze’s world of calligraphy with us.
