Halley Cheng is a young Hong Kong artist whose artistic career spans a decade despite his age. Having mastered ancient landscape painting at an early age, Cheng entered the Chinese University Fine Arts department with a repertoire of skills. Upon graduation, Cheng focused on a collection of imitations of ancient masterpieces. Instead of forging an exact copy, Cheng aimed to recreate the appearance of subject with new medium such as charcoal, biro, adhesive tiles and pencil. Even the boarder of the painting is redone to create a new visual boundary. It is through this interaction of mediums that a synergy of expression become contemporary and relevant to the artist's root and age..
