About Artist 關於藝術家 
 
Cheung Yee (1936–2019) was born in Guangzhou, China. He graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at National Taiwan Normal University in 1958. In the 1960s, together with Hong Kong artists Van Lau and Hon Chi-fun, he co-founded the "Chung Yuen Art Society," introducing Western art ideas and contemporary modernism to the Hong Kong art scene. Later, he pursued further studies in Europe and America. In the 1970s, he was awarded the MBE honor. After retirement, he moved to Los Angeles, USA. Upon returning to Hong Kong after university, Cheung was self-taught in sculpture. Influenced by traditional Chinese culture, he often used themes such as oracle bone script, turtle shells, divination symbols, and the Four Divine Creatures in his work, giving them a modern interpretation. 
 
張義（1936-2019）生於中國廣州，1958年畢業於國立臺灣師範大學藝術系，1960年代與香港藝術家文樓、韓志勳等人創立「中元畫會」，將西方藝術思潮和當代主義引入香港藝壇。後赴歐美進修，1970年代獲頒MBE勳銜，退休後移居美國洛杉磯。張義大學畢業返港後自學雕塑，由於受中國傳統文化薰陶，多以甲骨文、龜甲、卦象、四靈等為創作題材，並賦予現代化的詮釋。
