Let failure fuel your determination and ignite your persistence. Kila Cheung, a talented local artist, is renowned for his dedication to art, as well as his deep passion for skateboarding. Despite missing the prime years for learning skateboarding, Kila fearlessly took his first steps on a skateboard in his early thirties. Undeterred, he persisted, growing with every setback and injury he encountered along the way. This personal journey revealed his unwavering patience, tenacity, and formidable willpower.
Drawing inspiration from his personal frustrations and failures along the skateboarding journey, Kila hosts his solo exhibition once again at Gallery by the Harbour from 26 October to 19 November 2023, titled “Still”. This captivating exhibition showcases 14 distinct skateboard-themed artworks, including intricate paintings on canvas and skateboards, and striking large-scale art installations. The exhibition invites all to embrace failure, hold on to your passions and persistently challenge yourself through continuous practice.
As an added tribute to this special return after five years, Kila has magnified his iconic construction warning light art installation “Little Guys” in his previous exhibition to a towering height of 4 meters. This extraordinary art installation will shine at the shores of Victoria Harbour, casting its shimmering brilliance from the exact location where it was initially showcased at Pier 3 Car Park at Harbour City, starting from 26 October 2023.
