Description +-

Using simple composition and a soft brushstroke, the artist captured an immaculate moment between two young protesters, creating a stark contrast to the intensity of the social movement.

Forming a human chain, in which hundreds, even tens of thousands hold arms or link arms to show their solidarity, has been a common form of demonstration across countries. One of the most famous examples was the Baltic Way of 23 August, 1989, where two million people joined hands across Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania to advocate for independence.

On August 23, 2019, around 210,000 Hongkongers joined hands to form a 50km-long human chain across Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories. Patrons of the Hong Kong human chain came from different walks of lives, from young children to the older generation. This painting captures the moment where two young students, who were too innocent and inexperienced to even hold hands with the opposite gender, joined the demonstration simply because of their hope to change the city.

Ricker Choi

“Art serves as a counter narrative to fight against authoritarian regime's attempt to rewrite history.” Ricker Choi.

Gentle, subdued, and impressionistic are the stylistic elements characterising Choi’s paintings. But underneath the soft and tender hues are strong emotional undercurrent, reflected by the symbols or moments the artist chose to capture on his canvases.

The subjects Choi depicts reflect the public sentiments on the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong. These are symbols that the protesters recognise as the key moments or elements of the movement. The collective recognition forms a supportive bond and mutual understanding among the protesters that need not be spelled out. These moments of emotional intimacy represent the currents of warmth and humanity that is the lasting hope in dire humanitarian situations unfolding in the city.

Choi immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong in 1980’s. Seeing the political upheaval in Hong Kong, he decided to use art to honour the bravery and fight for freedom, getting inspirations from observing specific incidents. He has been using art to raise money for organisations helping Hong Kong’s fight for freedom, and is widely recognised in the community. His story has been featured in Apple Daily - the now closed independent news outlet in Hong Kong.

Donation +-

Based on our agreement with the artist, 70% of the pre-VAT price excluding frames will be donated to support the social movement. Donation will be made to Banyan Tree Aid.
