Yau Wing-fung received his undergraduate and master’s degrees from the Fine Arts department of Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is currently an assistant professor in the Academy of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University. Yau concentrates on research and creation of "Ink Art" and focuses on transformation of visual experience, imagination and situationality. His works merge the spatial aesthetics of ink with contemporary visual experience and attempt to expand the spatial imagination of previous ink works. Yau also pays attention to the potential interconnectedness of the contents of the frame, the way of viewing and the external form; therefore, Yau has deliberately adopted three-dimensional or installation formats to construct spatial and temporal scenarios outside of two-dimensional ink.
His solo exhibitions and projects were held in New York and Hong Kong in recent years, including a lansscape installation exhibited at Hong Kong Museum of Art,
Hong Kong Artist Dialogue Series: Yau Wing-fung To and Fro and Mirage Harmony, in 2024. His artworks have also been exhibited in major exhibitions worldwide, such as
Wu Bin: Ten Views of a Lingbi Stone, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, USA, 2018;
A New Era of Ink Painting in Hong Kong: 1st Chinese Cultural Festival, Hong Kong, 2024;
10th Beijing International Art Biennale, 2025-2026, as well as at art fairs including Art Basel Hong Kong, Fine Art Asia, Art Taipei.
POP ROCK in 2021 is Alisan Fine Arts’ first collaboration with the artist. In 2026, Alisan included his landscape paintings at booth of

His artworks have been garnered by Los Angeles County Museum of Art, USA; Hong Kong Museum of Art, M+, public organizations and private collections.
