(1) Umbrella Sketches 雨傘速寫
A total of 146 sketches was made by Fong So during the 2014 Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong. They are raw images of what the artist saw before and on the day of tear gas (Sept 28), and later on, in the three occupied zones in Admiralty, Causeway Bay and Mongkok over a period of two months. While the movement was still running, 139 sketches were compiled in an album published in December 2014.
Original artwork: The sketches by Fong So documenting the Hong Kong 2014 Umbrella Movement are in the collection of the British Museum. Please visit the website of the Museum (www.britishmuseum.org) for more information.
