Born and raised in Hong Kong, Chan Ching Wah's artistic approach is one that is reflective versus reactive. As an artist, Chan would immerse into an experience, allowing herself time to simmer in the essence of an emotional feeling or observation before actually beginning the art creation process.
Chan believes that art making is about engaging in an ongoing dialogue with the work all the while folding in new discoveries along the way. The results are paintings and drawings layered with multiple stories and perspectives.
As a true local Hong Kong artist, Chan Ching Wah has been involved in the Hong Kong visual arts scene for almost three decades. She has held multiple exhibitions, both solo and collaborative, at various venues including the Fringe Club, Para/Site Art Space and the First Institute of Art and Design. Chan currently resides and works in Hong Kong's Lantau Island.
