“We are unable to see species other than ourselves. We fail to see their living space gradually decreasing day after day. We cannot see their right to live and their real needs.”
-Alex Heung

While we proudly claim that we are saving wildlife by recreating their habitats in zoos, we simultaneously destroy their natural homes solely for economic motivations. Artist Heung intends to draw several painting series of wildlife to illustrate the predicament wildlife face in the wake of humans, in order to raise habitat protection issues through his art.

In an exemplary portrayal of the phrase “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”, Alex conveys a world of meaning through infusing contrasting art styles, philosophies, and eras in diptych paintings. While each image is powerful in its own right, it is the integration of both images that forges the relationship—and the strong emotions they invoke. Alex tries to stimulate audiences to think in new angles about art and life through juxtaposing drawings of wild deer with geometric designs.

Every day, wildlife is slowly diminishing. Do we, as human beings, ever pay attention to the voices of other species? In Heung's first solo exhibition,he will join forces with Sino Group’s ‘Art in Hong Kong’ to present “Wild Deer Garden – Works by Alex Heung”.  The exhibition will feature five sets of diptych paintings to illustrate the wildlife and habitat protection issues through drawings of wild deer. This summer, heed the call of the artist and hear the voices of the wild.

Integrating Design and Art: As an artist and graphic designer, Alex is always striving to integrate design and art in his pieces, a style easily recognizable in many of Alex’s paintings. His work embraces the sense of a designer and the sensibility of an artist, and conveys his message through a blend of photorealistic paintings and abstract modernity.In this exhibition, the artist invites audience members to consider the other species who live on the same Earth as we do.
