Law Cheuk Yui, known professionally as Michael Andrew Law (Chinese: 羅卓睿; born 13 November 1982), is a Hong Kong artist,[1][2] film producer,[3] and art promoter,[4][5] known in particular for his realist figurative works with Catholic themes.
Career
Law's early work comics and Illustrations were published in publications including Kung Kao Po, Catholic Children's Bible, and various other prayer books. In 2006 he devoted himself to fine art painting, and made portraits of several Catholic figures and Hong Kong celebrities, which have since been exhibited internationally.[1] As a fine artist, Law has worked on a series of large-scale realist figurative works, exhibited at The Avenue of Stars and Queen Victoria Street, Hong Kong in 2009.[6]
A major element of Law's work is biblical themes. He completed oil painting portraits of various Catholic Church figures, including Pope John Paul II,[7] Pope Benedict XVI,[8] and Mother Teresa.[9]
Law's exhibit "From Unmanifest to Manifest in the Art of Hyper Pop Surrealism" helped raise fund for the charity mission of the David Lynch Foundation[10] which aims to reduce the epidemic of trauma and toxic stress among at-risk populations.[11] The exhibition included oil painted portraits of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi,[5] president John Hagelin,[5] filmmaker David Lynch,[5] and Bob Roth,[5] chief executive of the David Lynch Foundation.
Law is also known for his work as film producer.[3] He has produced and directed several promotional music videos and two documentary films with his production group in Hong Kong.[12]
