A Voyage Around Wanchai

We all, live life on a stage, with a changing plot and scenery.  Art is a method, in which we examine life as if through a prism, a life full of questions.  Over the years we have witnessed scenes that at once seem real and illusory, transparent and opaque.  We are both performers on stage and audience off stage.  

The scenes change, but the themes remain the same, that of old contradictions and new conflicts.  The multiple variations of life and death continue.  The artist is the storyteller of everyday ‘epics’, an observer of society and at times his asides may reveal some deeper truth for the audience.    Wanchai has fascinated me since my arrival in Hong Kong.  It is a constantly changing microcosm of life, encompassing the old and new, work and pleasure, the dirty and the clean.  With a few exceptions, this exhibition is based on the everyday scenes of Wanchai.  

My work predominately combines underpainting in various media, which may include gouache, ink, watercolor, pencil and acrylic with hard and soft pastels applied once the paint is dry.    

The opening reception for this exhibition was held on Thursday 17th January 2013 at the American Chamber of Commerce, 1904 Bank of America Tower, 12 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong.  The extended exhibition closed in June 2013. A big thank you goes to all those that made this exhibition possible; including to the many friends and patrons who in no small measure were responsible for the success and vibrancy of the evening, and to AmCham for being such generous hosts throughout the exhibition.
