Asia Society Hong Kong Center proudly presents Never End: The Art and Life of Gaylord Chan, the artist’s first retrospective since his passing in 2020. 

Gaylord Chan (1925-2020) was a prominent Hong Kong artist who only formally began his painting career in his 40s, developing a unique, youthful, and iconographic mode of abstract painting that he continued into digital art in his later years. Chan was also a beloved teacher, basing his pedagogy off his own experiences as a painter and shaping the next generation of Hong Kong artists. Never End includes a selection of paintings, rarely exhibited digital drawings, and newly organized archival materials that pay tribute to the artist’s art, life, and ongoing legacy.

The exhibition is guest curated by Joyce Hei-ting Wong with Josephine Chow as Exhibition Consultant and Hain Yoon as Assistant Curator. With support provided by Hong Kong Arts Development Council, Virginia and Wellington Yee, Ms. Yang Mun Tak Marjorie, Rita and KC Kung, and Mystic Island Winery.

Venue address: Chantal Miller Gallery, Asia Society Hong Kong Center, 9 Justice Drive, Admiralty
