Chow Chun Fai

Chow Chun Fai (b. 1980, Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong-based artist known for his paintings that reproduce stills from iconic Cantonese films, overlaid with subtitles that take on new or ambiguous meanings when isolated from their cinematic context. His practice explores themes of identity, memory, political anxiety, and the cultural fabric of Hong Kong society. He has gained international recognition for works that use popular cinema as a lens to examine social and political conditions, particularly in relation to Hong Kong's evolving status.
