Andrew Pang

Andrew is an origami artist from Hong Kong and have been folding origami for more than 50 years. In 1998, he decided to fulfil one of his long-held dreams: writing an origami book inspired by my favourite television series, Star Trek. The book, Star Trek Paper Universe, was published by Simon & Schuster in 2000 and went on to sell more than 25,000 copies worldwide.

During Covid, while Hong Kong was under lockdown, Andrew created a collection of one-off pieces of origami masks inspired by popular television and film characters, including Yoda, Darth Vader, C-3PO, Spock, Mickey Mouse, Garfield and Bugs Bunny, as well as masks from the Japanese Noh theatre. These masks were hand painted, hardened and mounted onto canvases. The collection were successfully sold over four exhibitions in Hong Kong and Singapore.
