Charles Chau
Charles, (b1963) is a Hong Kong born contemporary artist currently residing in BC, Canada. Many art critics have described his work as drawing inspiration from classic Chinese calligraphy, urban architecture and master painterly styles.
His latest body of work is a deliberate attempt to break away from his former signature monochromatic works that explored contained emotions, now liberated with unique coloured brushstrokes and freely associated forms.
In 2019, Charles was commissioned to paint a mural depicting Okanagan Chinese history in downtown Kelowna, BC, Canada. The documentary of the mural project Flowers & Fruits recently won the “10 Best” title of China’s Roots Film Awards 2020, presented by the Chinese Filmmakers Association. The documentary is also a semi-finalist of the 3rd Edition, Cypress Archaeological, Ethronological, and Historical Film Festival 2020.
