Manifesto Projects



In the realm of native tribal culture, "AHO" signifies both "Hello" and "Thank You." From an artistic perspective, AHO embodies a novel concept and manifesto. Through collective contemporary art creation and immersion, AHO embarks on a journey to unearth the splendor of nature and humanity. AHO, standing for Abundance, Holistic, and Oneness, forms the cornerstone of our ethos.

Abundance enriches the mental landscape of humanity, fostering a wealth of well-being. Holistic integration bridges the realms of the Real and the Virtual, seamlessly merging the Material and the Spiritual. Through multidimensional art creation and immersion, AHO endeavors to foster a sense of Oneness, uniting individuals, communities, nature, the world, and the cosmos.

在原住民部落文化中,“AHO”既代表“你好”也代表“謝謝”。從藝術角度來看,“AHO”象徵著一種新穎的概念和宣言。通過集體當代藝術創作和沉浸式體驗,AHO踏上了一段尋找自然和人性光輝的旅程。“AHO”代表著豐盛、整全和合一,形成了我們理念的基石。

豐盛豐富了人類心靈的領域,培育著一片福祉的富饒土地。整全的融合將現實與虛擬之間的界限消弭,無縫地融合了物質與精神。通過多維度的藝術創作和沉浸式體驗,AHO致力於培養一種合一感,統一個體、社區、自然、世界和宇宙。

Commissioned by 29ROOMS


SINGAPORE EDITION

The ROOM ‘Huetopia’ by Desmond Leung is art projection installation / colour altar honouring the earth, sky, spirit and constellation, presenting the ritual of the ever changing day and night time landscape by illuminating the spectum of light and darkness through colour and nature elements.

Artist attempted to create a Sacred Space through dynamic colour movement like a moving Veil Painting. This artwork inspired by the anthroposophic color therapy, emphasizing the creative forces of light and darkness in painting, which similar to the use of Yin Yan and the flow of forces (chi) in Chinese Ink Wash Painting, both artistically and therapeutically.

Artist believed that light, color and darkness, color movement has a therapeutic effect on the viewer as well as the painter, human being sensed spirit through light, space and movement, that we touch the soul / spiritual world through color, leads us to our cosmic imagination.


《Huetopia》 是香港藝術家梁嘉昊( 昊天) 創作的藝術投影裝置,呈現光與暗之間豐富的層次及幻變的晝夜景觀,得以創造詩意的色彩旅程,讚頌自然的壯麗。藝術家試圖通過動態的色彩運動來創造一個神聖的空間。這件作品的靈感來自中國潑墨畫中的氣韻及陰陽平衡,及人智學的色彩療法中光與暗的創造力量。藝術家希望此色彩旅程能引發大家對宇宙的無限想像。

The Bloom of
Water Lilies

Commissioned by 
UOB (United Overseas Bank)

The Bloom of Water Lilies is a newly commissioned interactive ink art installation by Hong Kong based artist Desmond Leung. The presentation interweaves traditional ink with contemporary digital technology, inviting the public to interact and create a continuum of shared mindful experiences.

Even as we are engulfed in the flux of the modern world, an era of shifts and changes, Leung reconsiders the spirit of ink art and the purpose of digital art in today’s society. The artist believes in the ability of art to transcend boundaries and reconnect people through the beauty and magic of the natural world.

The water lily is a symbol of inner peace, enlightenment, self-regeneration, rebirth and compassion in the midst of impermanence. Drawing on this motif, the installation consists of 12 digital display screens, arranged in the shape of the bloom. Set against a backdrop of a water lily pond, the installation enables the public to experience the life force and the rhyme of ink through virtual interactive art.
Their interactions will transform the on-screen imagery from bud to blossoming flower, developed from detailed drawings of water lilies by Leung and Carolyn Yim, student winner of the 2021 UOB Art in Ink Awards, who further refined her brush skills under Leung’s mentorship. The Bloom of Water Lilies enables mindful presence and observations of light and shadow over time.

Creating points of connection, the work represents the interconnectedness of all life forms, reminding us that in our essence, we humans are inextricably linked to each other and to Mother Nature. The Bloom of Water Lilies spreads messages of positivity and sustainability through a cultural lens, a reminder to bring beauty and kindness to every encounter.
