YAU Wing Fung is an assistant professor at the Academy of Visual Arts of Hong Kong Baptist University. YAU focuses on ink creations and research. His works merge the spatial aesthetics of ink with contemporary visual experience and attempt to expand the spatial imagination of previous landscape works. YAU has held solo exhibitions and participated in numerous international exhibitions in the U.S., Hong Kong, and other cities. His artworks are included in the collections of institutions and museums such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, M+, Hong Kong Museum of Art, as well as various organizations and private collections.

YAU is engaged in researching the spatial aesthetics of ink art and how the essence of ink adapts to contemporary contexts. In recent years, YAU has sought to explore the potential relationships among interactive methods, content, and external forms in ink works.

Contemporary can be seen as a continuation of traditions; therefore, YAU attaches great importance to ink art developed on the basis of traditions. Students must develop a heightened sensitivity to the various situational changes through observation. The richness of history, theories, techniques and so on are essential for fostering a comprehensive understanding of artistic practice.
