The exhibition was designed to show how artists from the Eastern and Western present different world in the form of illusions.

Wayne creates Computer Generated Geometric Optical Illusions using vivid colours to stimulate the viewer’s response. His goal is to create illusions that tease the brain providing at least two options for the eyes to see and the mind to perceive. In this way at its elemental level it mirrors the illusions that life presents us with, the choices we make and the questions we ask ourselves about having made those choices and what reality really is for us.

For Wayne, like life itself, creating art is a spiritual journey. Forever present but always elusive.He uses geometric shapes for their simplicity, pure form and mathematical structure. To represent the foundation of the universe.

“Inscription and Seal Cutting” is a form of seal carving. It is also an artwork of transforming academic and classical literacy into the Artist’s individuality. The art of “Inscription and Seal Cutting” originated from the art of ancient seals. From the perspective of formality, seal art and seal carving art are no different. They are both engraving, but the essence is different.  Seal art is a practical art. “Inscription and Seal Cutting”, on the other hand, has evolved into arts purely for appreciation.

Mr. Hung Chuen Wa is recognized as one of the top experts in Chinese antique restoration.  He worked for many years in Chinese national museums.  He is a master in seal carving, mounting paintings, antique restoration, and other lost arts in repairing ancient artifacts.
