Exuberant color, vigorous brushwork and a joyous outlook are all characteristic of Lau Chun's highly distinctive oil paintings
Born in Kiagsi, China, Chun became active in art at the age of ten. After graduating from high school, he entered the Canton School of Fine Art, where he received a solid foundation in the fundamentals.
In 1962, while living in Hong Kong, Mexican Artist Francis Bobo hired Lau to paint murals and mosaics.
They worked together for eight years. Later, a grant from a Swiss company, Revox Corporation, led to study and recognition in Europe. Attracted by the light and color of the Hawaiian islands, the artist settled in Honolulu in 1971.
