Retrospective to focus on painter's career

Shanghai-born Pang Jiun demonstrated talent for painting at an early age and held his first exhibition at 9 with his sister Pang Dao.

Now the 82-year-old will show some 30 paintings at an exhibition to be held from July 10 to 31 in Hong Kong, where he lived and taught art for years in the 1980s before moving to Taiwan.

The exhibition titled The Journey of a Promise will showcase landscapes, still-lifes and figure paintings, showing Pang fusing a fauvist style with Chinese cultural traditions.

The exhibition will be held at the Exchange Square in Central.
