Lau Chun Art
Chinese, b. 1942
Born in Kiangsi, China in 1942, Lau Chun demonstrated interest in art at the age of ten. After graduating from high school, he entered the Canton School of Fine Art for two years. With a solid foundation in the ordered and exacting style of classical Asian artists, he left for Hong Kong.
In 1962, while living in Hong Kong, Lau was hired by Francis Bodo, a noted Mexican artist, to paint murals and mosaics. He worked with Bodo for eight years- the mosaic backgrounds in many of Lau''s paintings are not by accident.
In 1968, the Revox Corporation of Switzerland bestowed a two-year scholarship grant upon Lau enabling him to study extensively in Europe. Revox sponsored exhibits of his work in Hamburg and Copanhagen at the end of the two year period. Attracted by the light and color of the Hawaiian islands, the artist settled in Honolulu in 1971.
While Lau has been inspired by the French Impressionists, he developed a distinctive style that redefines the tenants of classical impressionism. The uniquely textured paint surface is abstract up close but, at a distance, perfectly captures the spirit and values of his subjects.
