Further details
This collection of paintings previously belonged to Poon Sook Chun (1926-2015). Born in 1926 and originally from Heshan, Guangdong Province, she moved to Hong Kong in 1950 and worked in the education industry. She later studied painting with Zhao Shao’ang and became Zhao’s goddaughter. She was good at painting flowers and feathers with bold brushwork and bright colours. She held solo exhibitions in Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, Malaysia, and Vancouver amongst other locations. The Paintings of Poon Sook Chun was published in 1981, with inscriptions by her teacher Zhao Shao’ang and preface by Chen Jinghong. Poon and her family had a good relationship with Zhao Shao’ang and received many works as gifts.
