At the atrium of the Kunkle Student Centre, Low Block of the Student Development Complex, visitors will find a threestorey mosaic wall, portraying vividly a famous Chung Chi landmark - the Chung Chi Gate. The mosaic wall will assemble over twenty thousand glass tiles, each engraved with the names of supporters of the "Kilo-Tile Dream" Campaign, showing the joint effort of donors to make the construction project of the Complex a success.
To optimise the design of the mosaic wall and integrate arts elements into it, the College has especially invited Dr. Kan Kit Keung (1966 / Physics), a renowned artist in Chinese painting and calligraphy, to illustrate for the wall. With his artistry, Dr. Kan showcased his ink and watercolour painting of the established Chung Chi Gate and the breathtaking Ma On Shan with great harmony.
Having learnt Chinese painting and calligraphy under various masters, Dr. Kan has conducted and participated in over a hundred exhibitions. Masterpieces of Dr. Kan are collected by numerous museums and organisations across the city and the globe. Dr. Kan has been a keen Chung Chi alumnus and paid huge effort in promoting arts to our students. Two solo exhibitions of Dr. Kan were held in Chung Chi. Moreover, he also served as the College resident-artist, the patron of our calligraphy competition, and for multiple times the instructor of Chinese calligraphy and painting classes. Dr. Kan’s dedication towards the College and his passion in Chinese calligraphy and painting are truly remarkable.
The College shall take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to Dr. Kan for his devotion to Chung Chi!
