Hong Kong Hong Kong where art meets jewellery paintings by Francesco Lietti jewellery by Andrea Filippi 6 | 19 march 2014 Yan Gallery, is delighted to announce its forthcoming exhibition entitled ‘Hong Kong Hong Kong’, which will feature a collection of mixed media on canvas paintings by the Italian artist Francesco Lietti and a collection of elegant, contemporary jewellery created by Italian designer, Andrea Filippi. Both Francesco and Andrea have been greatly inspired by Hong Kong, not only by the scenery of this vibrant eclectic city, but also by the sites, sounds and sensations experienced while living here. Although Francesco loves to travel and has painted scenes from all over Asia, for this collection of work he has concentrated exclusively on what he loves best; the Hong Kong harbour skyline. A master of vibrant, vivacious colours, Lietti paints these harbour scenes in hues of bright greens, dazzling reds, and vibrant oranges. As a trained architect, Lietti has a passion for buildings, which is clearly evident from his paintings. But it is the combination of water, buildings and rolling hills in the background that the artist never tires of. The tall, angular buildings are reflected in the blue sea and contrast starkly with the lush green undulations of The Peak. Memory and fantasy blur into one, allowing the viewer to feast their eyes on a recognizable scene, but also giving room for their own fantasies and reflections. Francesco was born in Lecco, on the southern shore of Lake Como in Italy. He studied architecture in Milan and furthered his studies in Paris at the École des Beaux Arts, La Seine and also at the Clerkenwell College of Printing in London. His works are featured in private collections worldwide Andrea Filippi has been living in Hong Kong since 2000 and brings to his work a huge sense of passion, dedication and creativity. His jewellery is a combination of tradition and modernity that offers a complete experience behind the products themselves. Using high quality materials such as 18k gold, diamonds and gem stones Filippi designs beautiful, sophisticated jewellery with elegant lines and harmonious contours. His attention to detail and creative dexterity will thrill any connoisseur of fine jewellery. Andrea Filippi was born in Vicenza, the Italian city of gold and leather. He graduated in Engineering and has been working in the watch and jewellery business for many years for leading brand names, designing and developing pieces displayed around the world. This is his first show to exhibit jewellery under his own name and we are delighted to be holding it at Yan Gallery. The opening reception will be an exciting evening of Italian art, music, food and wine. Please join us from 6-9pm of Thursday, 12th March. Viva l’ Italia!
