Artist’s Statement

Nature has been an important subject in my artistic creations. Living through the seasonal changes of London during my postgraduate studies, I suppose these sceneries from abroad form a stark contrast to what I’m accustomed to in my hometown of Hong Kong, where most trees are evergreen. I created a number of works revolving around trees and natural scenery, and this habit continued even after I returned to Hong Kong in 2007.

Upon my return to Hong Kong, I reviewed Chinese scenery paintings. I found that the tranquillity and distance from the outside world portrayed in Chinese scenery paintings are the greatest attraction. Every inch of a painting forms an individual painting in its own right. Thus in one painting, there could be human characters or lush woods and meandering rivers. This forms a main source of inspiration for my ‘Travel and Leisure’ series, which features figurines and colours of wood.

Thanks to the invitation of Mr. Adrian Cheng, I have adopted this tree in Tai Tao Tsuen, Yuen Long as an extension of my nature-themed works. My exploration on this tree, humans and nature are reflected. To me, re-examining the relations between nature and humans does not only illuminate our environment — it sheds light on the culture and perspectives in our society.
