Born in Hong Kong in 1992, CHAN Kwan-lok graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2015. Chan Kwan Lok is keen on exploring the feasibility of ink lines through depictions of the motions of human and nature. Using rhythmic lines to construct a rigorous yet subtle framework, Chan portrays ordinary objects, people and marine animals to create a whimsical fantasy. He held several solo exhibitions in Hong Kong, and his works are part of the collection at the Hong Kong Museum of Art and are also held in private collections.
