Lau Kam Hung’s latest exhibition “Light On Light” will be on view during September 2025 at Touch Gallery in Tai Kwun. This is his new exhibition since his solo exhibition “Silver Lining” in 2023, and is a culmination of his past two years of deep discovery. True to his style, he continues to use modern, unique materials to reinvent the wheel on Chinese traditional landscape painting.

American artist Bob Ross once said: “light and dark and dark and light, in painting. If you have light on light, you have nothing. If you have dark on dark, you basically have nothing. Just like in life. You gotta have a little sadness once in a while so you know when the good times come.” This idea was akin to a guiding light for Lau, giving him the drive to push the boundaries of his artistic practice.

“Light On Light” dives deeper into the conversation between light and shadow. Lau revisits gold-leaf again, and continues to broaden its expressive potential. No matter what variation of light he draws, Lau hopes to invite viewers to reconnect with the quiet awe we get when looking upon vast landscapes, encouraging us to reflect on the relationship between man and nature. His works capture the fleeting moments where light refracts, shifting into shadow.

Touch Gallery is thrilled to invite you to enjoy Lau Kam Hung’s latest pieces, where material and meaning resonate in unique representations of Hong Kong. Amongst the swaying trees, perhaps, in those quiet moments, we can find our own place in this world.
