Artist Martin Lever’s latest collection is a commentary on freedom of expression in today’s Hong Kong
A powerful exhibition that explores the ‘silencing’ of Hong Kong’s youth is coming to Manchester. Artist Martin Lever is bringing his new collection ‘Silent Protest’ to the Northern Quarter’s SAAN1 Gallery this April in support of the human rights charity Hong Kong Watch.
Since then thousands of Hong Kongers have made Manchester their home. Martin said he wanted to bring his collection to the city region’s growing Hong Kong diaspora having previously held a show in London. "People had left Hong Kong for many different reasons but primarily because they don’t want their children growing up in an environment where they can’t be free to express their own opinions."
Martin’s latest artwork is the first to explore politics. Discussing the inspiration behind the Silent Protest collection, Martin said he felt a duty as an artist to highlight the erosion of freedom of expression in Hong Kong. Martin’s paintings are filled with quotes from Mao Zedong, the former Chinese communist leader and founder of the People's Republic of China, which Martin says ironically reflect what many young Hong Kong residents are now demanding.
