The afternoon began with an exclusive tour of Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery, where participants explored works by Monet alongside pieces by Zao Wou-ki, Lalan, Chu Teh-Chun, Li Huayi, and Ziad Dalloul. This curated experience highlighted the dialogue between Monet’s vision and the diverse artistic expressions of later generations, offering a rich context for the discussion that followed. The main program, led by Catherine Kwai, Founder and
CEO of Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery, traced Monet’s artistic journey. Catherine illuminated lesser-known stories and emphasised Monet’s lifelong pursuit of perception through light and color. Far from being only the founder of
Impressionism, Monet was presented as a continuing force whose influence resonates across geographies and eras.

Her comprehensive talk examined:

• The birth of Impressionism and Monet’s role in shaping its foundations.
• His constant evolution as an artist, marked by experimentation and innovation.
• The reasons behind Monet’s enduring relevance in today’s global art market.

Our attendees left with a deeper appreciation of Monet not just as a historical figure, but as a living influence whose vision continues to inspire artists and collectors worldwide.
