Much critical artwork

The most striking feature of the art in Hong Kong is the critical attitude: 15% (in stead of 2% in general) of the sculpures in the public space is reflecting critical on political or social issues.

Strong forms but less creative

Romantic art

Many statues (31%) are in a romantic style while only two scultpures are found created before 1900. The numbers of contemporary (21%) and modern (48%) art are comparable with the numbers in other great cities.
