Lot Essay

Luis Chan was born in Panama and moved to Hong Kong in 1910. He spent his early days working as a typist in a law firm and designing fonts for a ferry boat company. A self-taught artist who painted in his spare time, Chan learned through a correspondence course from the Press Art School in London. Luis Chan’s art focuses on the imagination brought to his works. The features come from Chan’s wild imagination and use of a kaleidoscopic range of fantastical colours, and are teeming with childlike whimsy.
