Eric Fok’s (b.1990, Macau) works are a unique blend of tradition and modernity. Using a technical pen and paper that is aged using tea, he integrates ancient maps with modern constructions. Fok’s works look and feel distinctly antique, rooted in the histories of his home region Macau and Hong Kong, fused with colonial themes of early modern Portugal and Britain.
