Culture Plus: "PETER CHAN: HONG KONG AT HEART AND ART"

by Emilie El Jaouhari

Artist Peter Chan was born in 1985 in Hong Kong where he spent his childhood. He currently lives in Toronto, Canada, but Hong Kong remains dear to his heart and art. Chan likes to explore popular, cultural and urban themes from Hong Kong, drawing his inspiration from his life as well as iconic Hong Kong movies.

 

His latest works are now exhibited at Woaw Gallery in the group show Imagined States – Chapter 1 – Extrinsicality until 17 January 2024. On this occasion, we had the chance to talk about his personal and artistic journey, his creative process and his deep connection with Hong Kong.
