“Exquisite, unique and show-stopping!” The Hong Kong: Through the Looking Glass miniature exhibition in Singapore concluded with great fanfare, attracting more than 100,000 visitors during its two-week run in April 2022.
As part of the 25th anniversary celebration of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the exhibition commemorated the city’s sense of identity through miniature masterpieces of the city’s diverse landmarks, including neon signs, trams and authentic delicacies.
The exhibition’s success was testament to the public’s strong affection for Hong Kong and the boundless talent of Hong Kong’s miniature artists, whose creations redefine ideas around perspective, intricacy and beauty.
Attention to detail is paramount in miniature art as this allows visitors to immerse themselves into a world where their memories and imaginations take over inside the pocket universe.
For a truly immersive experience, visitors could join an exclusive clay workshop, where they learn how to create minuature Hong Kong delicacies, such as sorrowful rice (char siu rice), pineapple bun (bolo bun), chee cheung fan (rice rolls) and a variety of dim sum including the beloved har gaw (shrimp dumpling).
Hong Kong Superfans, a community who share a love of all things Hong Kong, were invited to demonstrate their dexterity by making their favourite Hong Kong dish under the guidance of Carmen Poon, President of the Joyful Miniature Association.
Urban Sketchers Singapore, a local community of artists and enthusiasts dedicated to the practice of on-location drawing, transformed the minuture sculptures into masterpieces of their own through sketch and paint.
