ABOUT THE ARTIST
Chung Ka-Chun now is pursuing his MFA degree in Goldsmiths, University in London. He got his BA degree from the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University. While studying for his Bachelor’s degree he went to Bologna, Italy, as an exchange student, and was intrigued by a course there about the restoration of paintings, focusing on the texture and ingredients of paint. After graduating, he lived in Berlin for a one and half a year. He was hooked by the marks on walls and abandoned objects on the streets, which he integrated into his painting-object compositions, he ended up having his first-ever solo exhibition in a localart space, Ori-Berlin.
|
After returning to Hong Kong and working as a freelance designer, he continued to explore the possibility to expand the boundary of painting by painting on the objects instead of canvas and did a solo exhibition in Anita Chan Lai-ling gallery in June 2021.
Since 2021 he kept participating different group shows to experiment the addition of performative quality to painting through slight motion of objects. On the other hand he also started doing artworks right in the street with the disposition of extending artworks from exhibition space to the public one. |
