Let’s be enlightened.
I See the Light…
by Alan Chan
What is light mean to me? It makes the invisible become visible, shows us direction and enlightens our mind.
As we see light, there is dream, there is future, there is hope.
In this series of prints, I pay tribute to figures whose works have greatly inspired me, namely Andy Warhol, Tadao Ando, the Heart Sutra in Buddhism, Ikko Tanaka, Damien Hirst and I.M. Pei.
The Chinese character ‘light’ (光) is reflected in the geometrical layout. While we see the ‘light’ we also keep on be inspired by visual icons that will keep shed light on contemporary culture.
