Imagery of Lotuses • Misty Mountains – Ink Art of Louis Mak

Join us to explore over forty recent ink paintings by renowned artist Louis Mak in his charity private selling exhibition Imagery of Lotuses • Misty Mountains – Ink Art of Louis Mak. 

Born in Shantou, Guangdong province, Mr. Mak has always aspired to pursue a career in art. However, like many people of his generation, the hardships of life in 1960s Hong Kong compelled Mr. Mak to abandon his dreams and enter the business world. After a successful career spanning several decades as an entrepreneur, Mr. Mak retired in 2000 and devoted himself entirely to painting. His experiments with ink are numerous and fascinating, resulting in surprising compositions of lotuses and sunflowers, elements of surrealism, ink lotus works reminiscent of black and white photography, as well as landscapes featuring breathtaking three-dimensional mist and sea of clouds. 

Mr. Mak will generously donate a portion of the sales proceeds of this exhibition to support various organizations, such as the Banyan Services Association, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and the Lions Club.
