Lau Ka Chun's works
劉家俊 Lau Ka Chun, Jay
Jay Lau (b. 1997) obtained his bachelor’s degree from the Department of Fine Arts, The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2019 and received Hong Kong Open Printshop’s “Hong Kong Fine Print” award in the same year. He is presently studying Master of Fine Arts in CUHK.
His art practice focuses on how to use the techniques of mechanical reproduction, including printmaking, photography and moulding, in image-making and re-making. He emphasise the physical properties and cultural significance of materials and the techniques involved during the process of image- making, so that the cooperation of materials, images and media can enrich the connotation and possibility of imagery.
