New works inspired by Chinese New Year are set to bring unique expressions of Chinese culture to Courtenay Place. Ho Sun Nian, curated by Linda Lim, runs from February 1 to May 23 at the capital’s light boxes at Courtenay Place Park in the central city. The exhibition is inspired by Chinese New Year celebrations and features work by Wellington-based Chinese artists Stan Chan and Kerry Ann Lee. In Ho Sun Nian, Chan’s paintings capture moments from photographs of Wellington’s Chinese New Year celebrations in years gone by: a Chinese lion parading through the streets and an East-meets-West fashion show from the 1980s. While the Courtenay Place Park Light Box exhibition runs from February through March, the Chinese New Year festival in Wellington is from February 13-14.
