ARTISTS / Lau Kam Hung
Lau Kam Hung (b. 1988) graduated from RMIT University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, and obtained a Master of Fine Arts degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2016.
How Chinese literati paintings get involved in and handle "landscape" (shanshui) really intrigues me. Studying literati shanshui has made me realised that it is not merely the mediums or tools that make the genre different, more importantly, the genre's own perspective of nature and its exploration of subject-object relations. In Chinese painting history, Song and Yuan paintings captivate me the most. They capture the mature development and rich history of Chinese painting, as well as adequately conveying the human perception of their relationship with objects through visual presentations of : the large and small, distant and close, moving and still, heavy and light, abundant and sparse, swift and slow, intricate and simple, informed and uninformed, rationality and sensibility, ideal and reality. I endeavour to express such essence in all of my artistic creations.
