Joey Leung Ka-yin (b. 1976, HK) combines traditional Chinese painting and popular culture in her works. She explores the use of contemporary writing equipment to present the flavour of Chinese art, trying to push the boundary of different media. The stories in her artworks depict her feelings and fantasies about modern life. They also inspect the value of tradition in the contemporary world.
