Artist's Statement 藝術家自述
Despite the digital age, I still cherish traditional media.While I embrace the unparalleled aura brought by the touch and texture of real acrylic paints, I experience and explore this vast and complicated world with my own eyes and ears. On the other hand, I am also fortunate to live in an era that allows me to travel to any periods in history and any places in the world through the internet. This time machine in broad sense has enabled me to paint from life across time and space. I disassemble and reassemble all things and phenomena in the universe to make colourful paintings to show you the wonderful world. 在數碼時代,我仍舊珍視傳統媒介,擁抱實體塑膠彩的質感與肌理所帶來,無取代的光暈氛圍,同時又會親身去耳聞目睹當下的大千世界;另一方面,我亦有幸趕上互聯網這廣義的時光機,能夠穿梭古今中外,突破時空界限去寫生,將森羅萬象以解拆重構的方式,展現一幅幅色彩斑斕的美好世界。

Personalities of Recent Times 近世人物誌
In the series “Personalities of Recent Times”, I keep a record of the cultural icons who deeply inspired me during my growth, such as singers, actors, comic artists, and visual artists from different times and spaces. I paints portraits of people using unique, vivid, and flat but richly layered colours. In my paintings, I weaves diverse cultural symbols to offer multiple interpretations. I combines my fascination with ACG culture with a Western postmodern painting style, turning my works into contemporary Ukiyo-e depicting Hong Kong history and culture, describing his personal history, and everyone’s collective memories. 《近世人物誌》系列,記錄了在我成長過程中深深啟發我的文化英雄,包括不同時空的歌手、演員、漫畫家和視覺藝術家等。 我用獨特、鮮明、平塗但具豐富層次感的色調,描繪人物肖像。畫作融入多元層次的文化符號,提供多重理解的線索。我將自己沉迷於動漫和電玩文化的特質,與西方後現代畫風相結合,作品立即變成了描劃香港歷史和文化的浮世繪。
