Man CHAN 陳正文
簡介 Biography
Born in Hong Kong in 1986, Man Chan received a degree of Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) co-presented by RMIT University and Hong Kong Art School in 2013. He performed a kind of invasion into the underlying nucleus of matters, transforming them into an inviting experience and questioning one's established perception of things. His playful transformation of objects reflects his comment on critical issues of current state of affairs. He is particularly interested in dealing with arms.
