Hong Kong-based artist Elaine Chiu explores architectural forms, memories and identities of urban environments with paintings, on-location sketching, and community projects. Elaine studied her Bachelor’s degree in art history at the University of Hong Kong, where she received the Talent Development Scholarship (2015) and Out Reaching Award (2016) from the Hong Kong SAR Government. Her work communicates the transient and fragile nature of cityscapes and identity displacement under rapid urban redevelopment.
