Gukzik Lau

Gukzik Lau, Artist and educator, Hong Kong based, graduated from the Ontario College of Art in Toronto, and from the Royal College of Art in the UK (Master degree with distinction). She makes image and words with assorted media including painting with offset printer, photocopier, fax machine and digital inkjet. Her works embraces emotional and social concern. She believes that, through creativity - a wish for improving, we can build a better world. She has exhibited in the U.K., U.S.A., Canada, Switzerland, Japan, and China. Gukzik, her pen-name, means 'collecting colours'.

If creativity has a goal, then it must also be a wish, to improve. It is not just about the external hardware of our lives, but instead, and more importantly, the inner needs of ourselves: hard and soft, body and soul. To see all aspects concerning a better life—clothing, eating, inhabiting, transporting etc. in time manifesting in as many forms as possible, for they are reflections of our care, contemplations, our love for life. My wish is to allow our minds to be present, clever and open to the potential of all humanity to create a much brighter world.
