ALEX LEUNG

Alex Leung is a contemporary artist and interior designer working in his birthplace of Hong Kong, where he returned after living in New Zealand.

​

Over the past decades, he has produced his "Liquefaction" series—a unique style of painting that utilizes flowing, liquid-like, and interlocking acrylic lines. These lines form a mixture of patterns that dynamically depict both individual objects and their surrounding spaces.

​

His work transforms familiar life scenes into a panoply of unexpected shapes. The rhythmic lines and shading evoke a balance between rules and freedom: the precise lines represent social constraints, while the freestyle patches symbolize his pursuit of freedom.

​

His art has been featured in galleries and exhibitions worldwide, including in Auckland, London, and Tokyo. Furthermore, since 2017, he has held several successful solo exhibitions at major Hong Kong institutions, including the Hong Kong Arts Centre, the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre, and the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.

His work has been recognized by international award bodies including the World Illustration Awards 2018 and the Contemporary Art Awards 2019. He was also selected as a finalist in two categories for the Global Art Awards 2018.
