龐 寶 珠
Chinese Fine Art · Ink & Calligraphy
水 墨 心 法
Mountains receding into mist along a river at evening; a lone fisherman in the lower current. Calligraphic inscription and seal at the upper-right. The composition follows the literati landscape tradition — more than half the surface is breath, not mark.
A white horse caught mid-stride beneath the artist’s transcription of Cao Cao’s “Though the tortoise lives long…” — a meditation on age and ambition.
A modernist counterpoint to the classical landscapes. Bold ink saturation, pooled jade pigment, with white bamboo leaves emerging from the wash.
A winter view: white peaks, a thin waterfall, the warm rust of bare winter branches in the foreground. The cold is rendered by what is left empty.
A single white character — 風, wind — drawn in negative against a wash sky, beside a bamboo bent in motion. The figure of the wind, painted by what it does to the leaves.
Pure expressive calligraphy — the brush moves quickly, the ink throws itself at the paper. A single seal grounds the chaos. The work is about what happens between the marks, not the marks themselves.
A single cursive character — 和, harmony — against the round paper of a fan. The accompanying inscription speaks of harmony bringing wealth, harmony bringing fortune.
A red-crowned crane on a pine bough — the classical pairing for longevity. Autumn rust runs through the roots; the crane’s posture is alert, almost intimate.
Eight pandas at play under an old pine. A study in joy and lineage — pine in seal-green, the pandas built from confident, playful brushwork. The master’s discipline can hold as much warmth as austerity.
A study in mineral blue. Peonies bloom in cool tones at the centre; a single small butterfly above. The blossoms are confident but unhurried, painted in the boneless (没骨) manner.
Five shrimp moving through unseen water — an homage to Qi Baishi’s legendary motif, reframed as a household blessing. Each body is two or three strokes; the antennae are felt rather than drawn.
A single tree, rooted, dense with leaves. Inscription: to become a great tree, do not contend with the grass. A meditation on growth and quiet ambition.
A pair of mandarin ducks — the traditional symbol of devotion — among willow and lotus. Light pink blossoms, jade leaves, the calm of a still pond. A natural fit for the wedding commission practice.
略 歷
For more than four decades, Anita Po Chu Pong (龐寶珠) has worked in the lineage of Chinese fine art — landscape, calligraphy, and the close discipline of ink on rice paper. Her practice moves between the reverence of classical xieyi and a contemporary sensibility that is unafraid of colour, abstraction, or stillness.
Painting across both London and Hong Kong over decades of private practice, she draws as easily from Song-dynasty landscape as from twentieth-century literati painting. Her work has been exhibited privately and held in collections internationally.
“The brush does not move quickly. The hand has waited sixty-seven years for this stroke.” — from a 2025 studio note
