Artist Statement:
My paintings are about
remnants of the human
struggles in the urban world.
Growing up in the refugee slum
of the then British colony of
Hong Kong in the 50's, I was
confronted and surrounded by
concrete buildings that sprung
up everywhere like barriers.
These were also class barriers
where I found myself being
suppressed and trapped. I was
in awe with the overwhelming
blockage. But yet, I also felt
hope. Knowing that one day I
would breakout of that
confinement. The memories of
staring incessantly at those
walls have deeply engraved in
my mind.
Whenever I look at walls in
back alleys and side streets,
I find myself inspired by the
marks, cracks, nails, hinges,
windows and graffiti on them.
They reflect our existence and
also our efforts to adapt and
to alter that existence in the
concrete jungle. They also
bear witness to the human
history and human condition.
When there is effort, there is
hope. My paintings are poetic
expressions of such efforts.
