Eddy Chan Kwan Lap ( Chinese: 陳君立; born 27 May 1947) [1] is a modern Chinese ink painter. He finished a certificate course in modern Chinese ink painting and was awarded a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in fine arts. [2] His works are in the collections of both local and overseas museums and art institutes, such as the Hong Kong Museum of Art, Shanghai Foreign Culture Exchange Association ( China), Daegu Culture and Art Centre ( South Korea), and the 1997 Mountain Lake Collection ( United States). [2]
Chan Kwan Lap was born on 27 May 1947 in Xinhui, Guangdong, China. [1] He practised traditional Chinese shan shui painting until he chanced upon modernist Chinese painter Liu Kuo-sung's graduation exhibition in 1978. [3] He was deeply moved by the differences between modern ink painting creation and traditional shan shui, which pushed him to pursue a modern Chinese ink painting certificate from the Department of Extramural Studies of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1981. [2] Afterwards, Eddy Chan went to Canada, where he received a bachelor's degree in fine arts from Concordia University in 1985. [4] He was also awarded a master's degree in fine arts by RMIT University in 2006. [5]
Most of his artwork focused on the motifs of tree trunks, roots, and landscape, and he refers to the years spanning 1986-1990 as the 'Root Period' [3] [6] Roots represent the perseverance, potential, and source of life and culture, through which Chan expresses his hope and optimism for the future. [3] After moving to Canada for his studies, the Canadian landscape inspired him to incorporate snow and springtime into the themes of his pieces. 1991-1995 was an important transition phase in his Chinese ink painting. [3]
Chan intentionally made use of a non-traditional way of ink painting. Chan said that the Bible, his art teacher, and his wife were his inspiration. [5]
The accolades received by Chan Kwan Lap are as follows:
- "Creativity in the Modern Interpretation of Ink & Colour" by the Taipei Fine Arts Museum [5]
- Distinction in the "Beijing International Ink & Wash Painting Exhibition 88" by the Academy of Chinese Painting [5]
- Distinction in "The Grand Competition of Modern Chinese Ink Painting and Calligraphy" by the Foreign Culture Exchange Association of China [5]
