About the Item
City Dweller is a mixed-media print created by Bik Chuen Ha in 1994. Using geometric and abstract forms, Ha portrays a modern figure wearing a hat, composed of triangles, circles, and irregular shapes. Layered textures and carved lines give the surface a sculptural quality, allowing the figure to shift between abstraction and realism. The palette of browns, blacks, and off-whites, accented with reddish and pale green tones, creates a calm yet introspective atmosphere.
At the center, the simplified figure appears to wear a suit and carry a rounded form, while surrounding circles suggest wheels, streetlights, or symbols of urban life. The work serves as both an abstract depiction of the city and a metaphor for the psychological state of its inhabitants. Through the interplay of geometry and color, Ha captures the balance and tension of modern existence, blending traditional printmaking craftsmanship with a deeply reflective contemporary sensibility

Bik Chuen Ha
Bik Chuen Ha is a renowned veteran visual artist from Hong Kong who began creating diverse forms of visual art in the 1960s. His practice spans sculpture, printmaking, Western painting, ink art, and photography, and his works have been exhibited both locally and internationally. Known for his versatility and constant innovation, Ha has spent decades exploring new artistic expressions, establishing himself as one of Hong Kong’s leading artists.
Living for many years in To Kwa Wan, an old district filled with repair shops, he is skilled at transforming discarded materials into playful sculptures, giving scrap metal new life. His corrugated cardboard collage paintings, finished with lacquer, are also signature works that reflect his ingenuity.
Guided by a spirit of curiosity and experimentation, Ha’s achievements have been widely recognized. He received the first Visual Arts Development Award from the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and the 2003 Hong Kong Arts Development Award for Artistic Achievement, among other honors.
