About Work

In the series Village in Guangdong, Chan depicts his hometown with wistful nostalgia. The composition shows continuous mountain ranges as well as verdant banana plants and coconut palms. A small village lies conspicuously in the woods, demonstrating the local signature of black roof tile and white wall. There is a stark contrast between the towering mountains and the tuny village, amid which the painter unconsciously reveals his admiration for nature he has harbored since his tender age.
