Chan Sai Lok

An artist, art critic and writer based in Hong Kong, Chan holds a BA and MFA in Fine Art and an MA in Gender Studies, all from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He has always taken text and literature as points of departure in his artistic endeavours, through which he contemplates the intimate relationship between painting and literariness.

His recent solo exhibitions include “Everyday Practice” (Hong Kong 2019 and New York 2020), “Land of Longing and Exile” (2019) and “Alongside Poetry in an Alley” (2016-17). He has been a winner of the UOB Art in Ink Award and a finalist in the Sovereign Asian Art Prize, the Awards for Creative Writing in Chinese, and the Professor Mayching Kao Art History Award.

Chan was one of the editors of the “Qiuying” poetry magazine and an executive committee member of The House of Hong Kong Literature. He is now a part-time lecturer at universities; a co-founder of the Art Appraisal Club , an art-critic collective; a project leader of an art review project, “Free Walk In”, and a guest host of a radio program about art.
