Ding's oil paintings on show include portraits, landscapes and stil-lifes showcasing solid training he once received at school.

Zhuang's watercolors and ink works were primarily produced in his late years, being encouraged by his old classmate and good friend Zao Wou-ki.

Wu's paintings demonstrate a rhythmic touch as he was a longtime lover of music.
