Raised in Hong Kong, Lau Man-Pan gained his Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from Hong Kong Baptist University in 2012 and his Master of fine art in painting from the Frank Mohr Institute in 2022. Due to his migration experience, he was intrigued by the notion of alienation, otherness, freedom, and constructed history. He works with various mediums and mainly focuses on drawing and painting. In his multidisciplinary practice, he explores the idea of emotional memories and mnemonic objects, meanwhile expressing doubt about an ahistorical perspective on identity. His works often refer to images and human beings that the relations between himself and his subjects take significance in the way that people and surroundings come to mirror him.
