After 40 expatriate years in France, Chan has his solo in the city of Hong Kong - his country of origin.
It is the serenity through which one becomes a part of nature, enlightening himself by direct intuition rather than conscious effort.
In French means "Action to free one's self, to give freedom for one's own mind".
Alan Sik Kyin Chan was born in Guangzhou, China in 1945 and resided in Hong Kong with his parents when he was five. Having grown up in a full of life and multicultural city, Chan has always been fascinated by the images emerged in every day's life, such as Dragon Boats racing in themisty sea beyon the fishing village, or a hair-raising scene of a Jumbo Jet crossing the roofsover a rsidential area when landing at kowloon’s Kai Tak Airport. These dynamic images are often formed in random and at times amazing and impressive. Chan believes that is how the world is represented through what is perceived directly by human senses, and may then be conceived with spirituality or abstract thinking into an art concept. This practice has been reflected in one of his recent works “Les Parapluies” (The Umbrellas) - an oil on canvas which was the main focus of his 2016 solo exhibition in Hong Kong.
“My piece has nothing to do with the ideology behind the ' Umbrella Movement '.” he responded when being asked for the motivation by which the artwork was created.
“ At that moment, I only saw in front of me was an immense scene showing a tremendous number of colorful umbrellas that were in motion, and I realized immediately it's an unprecedented aesthetic phenomenon that shouldn't be ignored by any artist.”
Self-taught, Chan began painting as a means of self-satisfaction. Nevertheless, he took museums and art galleries that he frequently visited as alternative classrooms. He received education in Hong Kong, Taiwan, then France where he was finally settled down and started his career as an architect in Paris. In most of the spare time, Chan devoted himself to his passion for painting. His work has been exhibited in Paris, Belmont, New York, San Mateo and Vienna. Chan is also the author of "The Charms of Jade”, “An Autumn in Paris”, “Les Cerfs-Volants” and others.
After retiring from his career in 2006, Chan kept up his spirit with art creativities. His first Hong Kong exhibition was held in Summer 2016, and the premier volume of his art book series "When Face to Face with a Modern Art" was launched in the same year.
