Collection: Hau Chun Kwong

Hau Chun Kwong (b. 1965 in Hong Kong) navigates between diverse cultural and material traditions in her artistic practice. After studying painting and sculpture in Guangzhou, she moved to the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, where she studied under Leo Kornbrust and graduated as a master student of Cristina Iglesias. The engagement with sculpture, calligraphy, and paper art continues to form the foundation of her work. She lives and works in Munich and Hong Kong.

Central to her work is the relationship between nature, memory, and perception. From reduced forms and precise interventions, Hau Chun Kwong develops poetic visual spaces in which growth, change, and transience become visible. In doing so, she combines the sensitivity of calligraphy with a sculptural understanding of space and material. Woodcut, paper work, drawing, and installation enter into an open dialogue, creating works that are characterized by both concentration and movement.

Her works have been shown in numerous exhibitions in Germany, Hong Kong, China, and Europe. Recurring themes such as forest, wind, light, or landscape do not appear as a mere representation of nature, but rather as carriers of inner states and collective experiences. The artist understands nature as a living web of relationships, in which personal memory, cultural influences, and societal questions overlap. From this stance emerge works of quiet presence that direct attention to the inconspicuous and open up spaces for contemplation and reflection.
