Colours 1000
仟色

這是香港上海匯豐銀行於1988年至1992年發行的千元鈔票，也稱為金牛。這是香港回歸前匯豐銀行發行的最後一張具有英國特色的千元鈔票。

編織鈔票系列是本人懷念香港的黃金時代的一系列作品，包括每日使用的現鈔和國貨公司的手工藝品。我試用手工藝的手法處理鈔票的影像。使作品擁有古物的味道。

This is a thousand-dollar note issued by the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation from 1988 to 1992, also known as the golden cow. It is the last thousand-dollar note with British characteristics produced by HSBC before Hong Kong’s return to China.

The Woven Banknotes series is a series of works that recall the golden age of Hong Kong, including daily used banknotes and handicrafts from Chinese Products Emporium Limited in Hong Kong. I tried to use handcraft techniques to process the image of the banknote. Give the work an antique flavor.

Chapter 1 Still Life Narrates an Era - Eastman Cheng

Cheng: In this series of still-life works, I aim to incorporate objects that embody Hong Kong’s values and memories, including items from various eras and local charts. The focus is primarily on the objects themselves and the methods of their creation.

Chan: The charts remind me of the globes in traditional still-life paintings—they symbolize an information system, transforming data into symbols. The artist’s selection of vintage objects and traditional craftsmanship，similar to an express and resolve  system, bridging between Hong Kong’s past and present.
