BIOGRAPHY
Chris HUEN Sin Kan Born in 1991, Hong Kong With an emphasis in oil painting, HUEN’s practice explores the minute and exquisite experiences of daily life. The artist believes that the essence of existence should not be constructed nor constricted by conventions that are the result of a collective cognition, every work is a composition of clear strokes purely driven by spontaneity.
