About the Item
This painting is illustrated in color in the the book, "PAINTINGS BY KAN
TAI-KEUNG 1970-1979" page 51. Published by S S Design & Production, Hong
Kong, 1980.
A copy of this book will accompany the painting.
Born in Panyu, Guangdong, in 1942, Kan Tai-Keung was deeply influenced by his grandfather, Yao Sheung, and became passionate about painting from childhood on. He moved to Hong Kong in 1957, and worked as an apprentice tailor there for ten years. In 1964, Kan started to learn watercolour painting and sketching with his uncle Han May-Tin. Later he took a Chinese ink painting course from Lui Shou-kwan and an applied design course from Wucius Wong at the Department of Extramural Studies, Chinese University of Hong Kong. In 1967, Kan Tai-Keung started his career as a designer, and he founded his own company in 1976. He has exhibited his paintings in Hong Kong and abroad since the 1970s and his works are in the permanent collections of numerous museums in the region. Kan's talent for design is evident in his ambitious calligraphic paintings. His bold brushwork depicting mountains, rivers, rocks, mists, and clouds emerges from large areas of white background and mysteriously mutates into written words. The generous use of neutral white ground is linked to the fundamental aesthetic principle of void placement (bubai) in Chinese calligraphy and literati painting.
