Grotto Fine Art is delighted to present Echoes of Nature, a solo exhibition by Hong Kong artist Chan Kwan-lok, running from March 8 to April 12, 2025. The exhibition focuses on CHAN's latest series of works, created using the traditional biamiao (fine brush painting) technique. Through delicate and refined lines, the artist explores the interplay between permanence and impermanence in nature, showcasing the rhythm of life and profound emotions within the landscapes.

The exhibition title, Echoes of Nature, draws inspiration from the novel of the same name by Yasunari Kawabata. In the novel, the fleeting sound of the mountain evokes a deep reflection on impermanence. Similarly, CHAN Kwan-lok turns to nature as a source of solace amidst personal experiences of loss, observing the cycles of life and decay in insects and plants. Using the biamiao technique, CHAN captures these subtle transformations, reinterpreting mountains as ever-changing living entities, revealing the interconnectedness and continuous flow of life in the natural world. As an essential form of traditional Chinese art, Biamiao emphasizes the use of line work to depict both form and spirit. In Echoes of Nature, CHAN skillfully integrates this classical technique into a contemporary context, capturing the unspoken language of nature and the beauty of life's transitions.
