Reprinted from AATONAU's fong-fai-an-odyssey-in-time-through-ink-calligraphy-and-acrylic “Time” is always a theme that I want to capture on the canvas. It is a short moment, but also infinite and eternal, a very abstract theme.” A Heritage of Artistry: Fai’s Hong Kong Beginnings Fong Fai is an abstract artist who calls San Francisco his home, but his artistic journey has its roots in Hong Kong, where he was both born and educated. He pursued his formal training at the Hong Kong Academy of Art. Notably, the profound influence on Fai’s artistic inclination came from his grandfather, a revered ink painter and educator. From his early years, Fai demonstrated an innate attraction to the world of painting. However, the prevalent academic emphasis on realistic art forms presented a compelling challenge. Undeterred by the conventional norms and inspired by his inner creative calling, Fai charted a distinctive path. In pursuit of his passion and vision, he inaugurated ‘Fong’s Art Gallery’ in Hong Kong. His journey did not stop there. Later, he took on the mantle of educator imparting knowledge at the Oriental Arts Institute. The Essence of Time and Tradition: Fong’s Unique Style Fong Fai’s artistry is profoundly shaped by the undulating rhythms of calligraphy and the evocative strokes of color, elegantly bridging the chasm between Eastern and Western artistic paradigms. The very essence of Fong’s oeuvre lies in his persistent pursuit of encapsulating the concept of “Time” on the canvas. For him, time is an enigma, evanescent in its passing yet enduring in its existence. The Eastern ethos remains a foundational element in Fai’s work, providing an unerring compass that navigates his creative journey. Throughout his career, Fong Fai has seamlessly woven elements from his rich cultural tapestry into his art, accentuating the deep, oriental essence that underpins each piece. Indeed, the intricate bond between an artist and their cultural heritage is often inextricable. For Fai, this connection is palpable, reinforcing that he is, indeed, no exception to this artistic phenomenon. Global Footprints: Fai’s Inspirations and Influence Throughout his art career, Fong Fai has showcased his Art work not only in the vibrant corners of Asia but also in the diverse landscapes of Australia and North America.
