Ying-Fat Chan

Chan Ying-fat (陈英发), artist, muralist, and contemporary painter, was born in Hong Kong in 1973. He has been creating art full-time since 1997. In 2002, he held his first solo exhibition, "Track," showcasing his oil paintings to the public. Since 2004, he has been dedicated to mural creation and promoting mural art in Hong Kong communities and schools. He was also awarded the title of "Innovative Talent in Contemporary Chinese Art" by the Ministry of Culture of China. Chan Ying-fai's works are diverse and innovative, encompassing abstraction and realism. In his early works, he often painted on canvases and wooden panels using plastic bags, viewing this unique and direct creative method as a medium connecting the senses and the soul. In recent years, he has focused on re-exploring abstract personal thoughts and expressions. He uses repetitive fractal lines and fragmented colors to explore and reshape the intrinsic relationship between the contemporary individual and nature and the universe.
