About the Artist:

Yau Wing Fung, ink artist, is currently assistant professor at the Academy of Visual Arts of the Hong Kong Baptist University. He focuses on ink creations and research. His works consist in the transformation of visual experience, imagination and situationality while emphasising the potential interconnectedness of the visual content, the viewing mode and the external form. By merging the spatial aesthetics of ink with contemporary visual experience, his three-dimensional structures or installations create multi-dimensional spatial and temporal scenarios.

Yau has held solo exhibitions and projects in the USA, Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao. In recent years, he was commissioned by the United Overseas Bank, Art Central and Hong Kong Museum of Art to create some large ink installations that fosters a dynamic interaction between viewers, ink works and space. His artworks have been exhibited in numerous international exhibitions and events, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and United Nations Secretariat Building in the USA, Beijing International Art Biennale, Shenzhen Art Museum, Zhengzhou Art Museum, National Taiwan Normal University Art Museum, University Museum and Art Gallery of The University of Hong Kong, the art space Oi!, Art Basel and Fine Art Asia. His works have been included in both public and private collections, including that of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Ashmolean Museum and M+.
