About the art
Artist statement
Zue Chan graduated from Scenery Art at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA).
During her study in the HKAPA, Chan was impressed by the painting sets of a Cantonese opera, depicting the Chinese stone chairs, pavilions, props, which arouse her interest in contemporary ink painting. Experiencing the visual effects on stages and Chan was inspired to use different media and material from both Chinese painting and western painting to start her exploration to use oil painting material and the “Tsun” technique from Chinese painting to painting the Chinese landscape and cloud resulting in a more satisfactory when dealing with stone textures.
Traditional Chinese ink and wash paintings revolve around the ‘Tao’ which gives classical charms. It brings peace and mystery to people. Chan combines traditional Chinese ink and Western paints, the medium that Chan is more familiar with, into a piece of art. Every painting is a page of diary which records what Chan thinks and feels in nature. It is a language that connects Chan with Nature.
Size includes frame.
