Sim Chan: The Discovery of Time

Born in Hong Kong in 1987, Sim Chan graduated from the Hong Kong Art School, major in Painting. With a major interest in the local cityscape and the urban architecture, the artist’s work expresses his observation and tactile sense of his city.

As the calendar is one of main subjects of the artist’s work, the show features 12-month calendars, displayed in the changing light setting.  With the back-lit canvas, each of his paintings is a record of time through the layers of paint.
