Several years ago, I saw a gorgeous cityscape painting at Sidney Fine Art Show. When I took a closer look, I was surprised that it was painted by Clement Kwan, who is very well known for his figurative paintings. When Clement stopped into the gallery several days later, I said to him: I didn't know that you can paint cityscape so well. Clement replied: of course, when you can paint portrait well, you can paint anything!
What makes Clement's paintings stand out is his ability to not just capturing the likeness but also the soul of his subject and the atmosphere. His goal is to "express happiness", so his paintings are exquisitely filled with light, colour, joy and movement.
In this spotlight, we compiled a portfolio of Clement Kwan's 14 most recent paintings.
