Splash XV

The ink art of Hung Fai revolutionises the techniques of the millennia-old practice. Through the experimental deconstruction of the medium, Hung abandons the brush and creates liminal imageries with the interaction between ink, water and paper: each composition in the Splash series materialised from the spontaneous flowing and diffusion of ink into strangely symmetrical images – an effect achieved by the folding of the xuan paper. Hung Fai was born in Hong Kong in 1988 and graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2013. His conceptual experiments with the ink create a unique expression in his work, continuously exploring the limitations and extended possibilities of the genre.
