Media Release – April 27, 2008
Attn: News / Business / Art Editors For Immediate Release
April 27, 2008, Hong Kong – Members of The American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and fellow art enthusiasts enjoyed a vivid evening of delightful art works based upon digital photographic effects by Anat Givon, in the prime office space of the Chamber located on the 19th floor of the Bank of America Tower in Central last Thursday (April 24). In his opening of the fourth of AmCham's quarterly art exhibitions, members and non-members met the Israeli-born artist, Anat Givon, and were introduced to her photography and photo editing skills, combined with fine wine and snacks. Anat Givon first came to Hong Kong as a press photographer to cover the 1997 Handover and has since then made it her permanent home. Having worked for years as a photojournalist in the Middle East and throughout South East Asia, she has taken her photography and photo editing skills in a very different direction. “It is another world of photography,” she said, “one in which journalistic accuracy is not a requirement and a complete artistic freedom combined with delightful digital technology makes it possible to bring the viewer a personal and very subjective point of view, seasoned at times with elements of surrealism and humor.” AmCham president Richard Vuylsteke said the Chamber delighted to have the art works on its walls. “We hope to give our members and guests a chance to experience art in a natural business setting. It's the perfect meeting of art and commerce,” he said. Ms. Givon's works will be displayed in the two conference rooms as well as the corridor of AmCham’s office through the end of July, 2008. All works are for sale, at prices ranging from HK$600 to $6,000 and no commission is taken by AmCham, which operates its Art Connection program as a public service for Hong Kong-based artists.
