November 24, 2011

More than 50 paintings depicting Hong Kong Geopark in different artistic styles are now on display at iSquare in Tsim Sha Tsui until November 27.
 
Organised by the Environment Bureau, the exhibition features works by students attending the Simply Art school and members of the Hong Kong (China) Painting Calligraphy for the Aged Study Association.
 
Under Secretary for the Environment Dr Kitty Poon said during her visit today the paintings cover various aspects of Hong Kong Geopark, including its extraordinary geological features and special local characteristics.
 
“Some works depict its proximity to the bustling metropolis, highlighting the uniqueness of our geo-heritage,” she said.
 
There is a special area for children to draw images of their Hong Kong Geopark on hexagonal paper and the works will be displayed. Information on Hong Kong Geopark is also available at the venue.
