Temple Mall is presenting the "Blue-and-White Porcelain Impressions" art event, running from now until 31 October. The event features an exhibition and photo-worthy installations centred around blue-and-white porcelain. Local artist Angel Hui has been invited to create four new works that blend the rich traditions of this ancient art form with the unique culture of Wong Tai Sin. Through these artistic expressions, the event seeks to offer the public an opportunity to appreciate the enduring beauty of this millennia-old treasure.

Collaborating with artist Angel Hui to create new blue-and-white porcelain works

In collaboration with Temple Mall, Angel Hui has created four blue-and-white porcelain pieces inspired by the distinctive character of Wong Tai Sin. Themes include the local "worshipping and blessing" traditions, the Wong Tai Sin Temple, and the classic "one pot, two pieces" custom of Hong Kong tea houses. Hui masterfully integrates these elements with porcelain patterns from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, creating a seamless blend of history and modernity.

In addition to her blue-and-white porcelain works, Hui is also renowned for her embroidered goldfish on plastic bags, a classic series that was previously exhibited at Art Basel Hong Kong 2022. To complement the event’s theme, Hui has recreated nine blue-and-white embroidered fighting fish, which are now on display at the mall, bringing her iconic work to life once again.

For those looking to explore the culture and history of blue-and-white porcelain, the interactive exhibition on the mall's first floor provides a rich experience. Visitors can trace the evolution of blue-and-white porcelain through the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, view Hui's new creations for the event up close.

To promote the cultural heritage of blue-and-white porcelain, Hui will be hosting a workshop at Temple Mall on 5 October. During the session, she will personally guide attendees in painting elegant and refined blue-and-white patterns. Link Up members can join the workshop upon a specified spending in the mall. Additionally, on the weekends of 5-6 and 12-13 October, Temple Mall North will host a weekend art and cultural market. Visitors can explore and take home beautifully crafted cultural and creative items.

Step into an enchanting world of blue-and-white porcelain with a four-metre-tall kaleidoscope installation

During the event, Temple Mall will offer the public a feast for the senses, blending visual art and cultural heritage. The highlight of the event is undoubtedly the nearly four-metre-tall "Blue-and-White Kaleidoscope" installation at the North Wing. This stunning piece features a giant ceramic flower atop the kaleidoscope, alongside a classical blue-and-white porcelain screen, creating an atmosphere steeped in the artistry of this ancient tradition. As visitors step inside the kaleidoscope, they will be surrounded by a dazzling array of reflections, where the beautiful blue-and-white patterns merge with mirrored surfaces, allowing them to deeply appreciate the beauty of the blue-and-white porcelain world.

From 2 September to 31 October, shoppers at Temple Mall who spend a specified amount can redeem exclusive blue-and-white themed art gifts designed by Angel Hui. These gifts include a special edition thermos, created in collaboration with the iconic Hong Kong brand CAMEL, and an adorable cat-themed cup, also included in the offerings is a tea gift box set from the popular brand "MZK Life Store". Additionally, the four new blue-and-white porcelain works inspired by the Wong Tai Sin community and created by Hui for this event have been made into coasters, available for redemption.
