About Oscar Chan Yik Long
OSCAR CHAN YIK LONG (1988) is a Hong Kong-born artist with an international practice centering on site-specific painting installations and drawing. Working primarily with ink, he creates immersive painted environments drawing on East Asian mythology, other esoteric traditions and various aspects of popular visual culture and art history. Rather than adhering to the conventions of traditional Chinese painting, Chan forges his own visual language and symbolic world. His choice of medium and subjects is deeply personal and rooted in intellectual inquiry and spiritual reflection. In recent works, he explores the holistic relationship between body and mind in Chinese thought, particularly the connection between the internal organs and the fundamental emotions: fear, anger, anxiety, sadness and happiness.
