A World Within：The Art and Inspiration of Irene Chou

　　This bilingual exhibition catalogue, A World Within: The Art and Inspiration of Irene Chou, is published on the occasion of Asia Society Hong Kong Center’s eponymous exhibition. The catalogue celebrates Chou as one of the most inventive artists at the forefront of Hong Kong’s New Ink Painting Movement, with her dynamic career spanning from the 1950s to early 2000s. She was remarkable for paving new possibilities in Chinese ink painting through a highly original abstract visual language, and her exploration of modern themes informed by an interest in metaphysics, science and literature. 為配合「二十世紀中國女藝術家系列」之三的《萬象之根：周綠雲繪畫藝術展》，亞洲協會香港中心出版這本展覽同名圖錄。作為香港新水墨運動中其中一位最具創造力的藝術家，從二十世紀五十年代到千禧年，周綠雲的藝術生涯橫跨了半個世紀。她以一種高度原創的視覺語言及其產自對玄學、科學和文學興趣，致力探索當代議題的作品，為中國水墨畫提供了全新的可能性。
