'Paintings that have a hypnotic quality - at once seductively calming and disorienting.'
'Hon's colors are vibrant and eruptive from all the senses'
'Aesthetic Chinese in Hon's paintings.'

Documenting Hong Kong Chinese artist Hon Chi-fun's 40 years of incessant passion and personal breakthroughs in the quest for abstract space, eternity and being alive in the paintings of art and in the art of paintings, this is an important artist book you shouldn't miss in your art book collection.

Traveling between clarity and ambiguity, motion and stillness, space within and beyond, Hon's fondness of color, light, dots, lines, planes, juxtaposition, his urge to paint, and surge of thinking come through in his large size bold and vivid art works - landscapes or experimental paintings of realism or abstract expressionism - all entirely the true revelation of Hon's inner self.

This powerful expression of artist's inner strength has pioneered decades of new horizons in modernism and abstract expressionism in Hong Kong art history. This book also documents a rare revelation of artist's own story, as well as other noted commentaries from art commentators.
