Exhibition of Alan Chan’s works of design and art from Japan since 1980s
from January 8th, 2016 to February 20th, 2016
Our January-February Exhibition is from Hong Kong's legendary designer Alan Chan.
This exhibition documents Alan Chan’s design career, which has been fully embraced and supported, personally and professionally, dated back in the 1980s until now.
Recommended by Ikko Tanaka, Alan’s first project in Japan was for the “Hello Hong Kong” promotional campaign at Seibu Department Store in 1987.
Since then, his journey continued with many clients and organisations in Japan, both on commercial or non-commercial basis, from property developer to pachinko game centre, from banking corporation to bottled drinks, from meditation box to thermometer…
Through this exhibition of his works in Japan or projects collaborate with Japanese designers, the younger generation of Hong Kong designers will know more about the historical linkage between Hong Kong and Japanese design.
