The sky has no boundary yet city life is constrained inside a densely packed building. Apartment block stands opposite and far away from the lyrical sky just like an unattainable distance between reality and dreams. In this series, Sim transforms the aerial views between the skyscrapers to shapes, signs and symbols by handmade wooden frames and creates a measureable sky view. The works reveal a modern life style and how the society changes the nature, that brings the audience to think and imagine the situation we are living.
Born in Hong Kong in 1987, Sim Chan graduated from the Hong Kong Art School majoring in painting. He set up his own studio in Fotan in 2007 and participated in the artist-in-residence programme in Beijing in 2009. He was selected as one of the nominees for the Sovereign Asian Art Prize in 2011 and was named a "40 under 40 Global Creative Talent" in 2013 by Perspective Magazine. In 2014, he was invited to create public art installations for the Jockey Club Atrium at the Hong Kong Arts Centre and was selected in the "Art@Government Buildings 2013-14" presented by the Home Affairs Bureau to install public artworks at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium. Sim's works have been exhibited in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Singapore, Tokyo, Thailand and Melbourne, among other places, and are collected by the Art Promotion Office, private collectors in Hong Kong and abroad.
