SUMMARY:SILENT PROTEST (The Day Hong Kong Lost its Voice)
DESCRIPTION:SILENT PROTEST (The Day Hong Kong Lost its Voice) - \nby International Award-winning Artist  Martin Lever\nPrivate View / Launch Event - Friday 15 December: 5:30 to 9pm \nOpening Hours Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 - 10am to 6pm\n\n \n\n“The Artist’s job is to be witness to his time in history” - Robert Rauschenburg\n\nLong-term Hong Konger now residing in the UK\, artist Martin Lever explains his latest collection…\n\nOn 30 June 2020\, the Chinese Communist Party introduced a National Security Law. And Hong Kong fell silent. According to many human rights lawyers\, the law has led to instant and fundamental changes in a previously free society. This is what I’m aiming to capture in this collection.\n\nIn an ironic nod to the iconic propaganda posters of the Cultural Revolution\, these graffiti-style monochrome portraits capture the young protestors in various well-known Hong Kong locations\, their mouths gagged with zippers and masks. The words of Mao Tse Tung hang over the crowd – their meaning simultaneously enlightened and sinister\, when juxtaposed with the contemporary dreams of a largely peaceful Hong Kong youth\n\nwww.artbymartinlever.com
