Kathy Fung

Kathy Fung was born and raised in Hong Kong. She immerses herself in her works all along the years, in pursuing her passion in art. She received traditional training from masters including Mr Lam Wu Fui (林湖奎) and Wa Gor (華戈 馮兆華), where she came to identify another “her” through painting. 

Kathy is a free-spirited globetrotter. She regarded art as a means to depict the majesty and allure of the  world faithfully. Her artworks are rose-tinted lenses as well as love letters to the places she had visited. She is fond of helping the audience reach environmental awakening with her style of capturing nature—be it landscape or animals. 

Kathy is skilful in manipulating traditional Chinese art elements – xuan paper, Chinese ink, and brushes, which helps her to bring in her creative concepts with no restrictions or limitations.  

"We should be surrounded by the positivity in the world while seeking happiness. I love having the opportunity to see and feel the beauty of the world with my own attendance. That's why I preserved my memories through my artworks and share them with everyone." – Kathy Fung

Cassian Lau

Cassian Lau, born in Hong Kong in 1968, developed an early passion for art, nurtured by drawing on stacks of paper given by his sisters. At age six, he moved to Toronto, Canada, where he immersed himself in North American pop culture through comic books and television. This cultural exposure, combined with his Chinese heritage, sparked an exploration of identity that would later inform his artwork—a fusion of Western and Eastern imagery, iconography, and literature.

Lau earned degrees in Fine Arts and Business Administration from York University, Toronto. After returning to Hong Kong, he balanced assisting his wife’s fashion retail business with his artistic pursuits, collaborating with leading designers and artists. In 2008, he dedicated himself fully to painting, using his work to address social issues and express his ideology.

Lau's art reflects diverse influences and carries strong social messages, often quoting ancient scholars to emphasize the importance of ethics and Chinese heritage. His works are a call to action, encouraging compassion and unity. As he puts it, “We must care more, love more, and help more.”
