About this Event
Listen to three Artists: Andreas von Buddenbrock, Lindsey McAlister and Louise Soloway Chan discuss creativity. Where do they think it comes from and how do they use it to produce their artworks? How important is creativity for them and for others, do they think? Is it important for creativity and imagination be cultivated. Why or why not? This panel discussion is part of Being Neighbourly's art exhibition 'Transitions', which explores themes of change and growth across body, self and place, November 21-25 at the HK Visual Arts Centre.
About the Artists
Andreas von Buddenbrock
Andreas von Buddenbrock, born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden graduated from BASIS School of Art in Stockholm in 2011, before persuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration in Hong Kong and the U.S. Andreas subsequently worked as an assistant to Swedish sculptor Anders Krisár in New York, before training as a Gallery Associate at the Museum of Modern Art. Today, Andreas works as an artist and freelance illustrator in Hong Kong under the pseudonym ‘The Ink Trail’.

He is the author of the newly published The Ink Trail: Hong Kong, and the main illustrator of the World's Largest Coloring Book (Guinness World Record winner 2018).
Louise Soloway Chan
Louise Soloway Chan draws inspiration from her immediate environment, carrying small sketch books to capture spontaneous moments. A storytelling artist, she documents the daily lives of people at work, rest, and play in detail to give a sense of time and place in her paintings. Drawn to densely-crowded urban scenes, Louise delves into the intricacies and humor of everyday life. Louise has been commissioned to record a diversity of scenes, from market stalls, a pre-digital trading floor, a pharmaceutical sugar-coating pill laboratory, and even worked on a construction site based out of a studio on an island in the South China Sea.
Lindsey McAlister, OBE, JP
Lindsey McAlister, a British artist based in Hong Kong for nearly forty years, founded the ‘Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation’ and has been a trailblazer in performing arts. Decorated with JP and OBE titles, she works digitally and with diverse materials like acrylic paint, decoractive papers, and photographic transfers. Her intuitive process allows colors, textures, and compositions to emerge spontaneously, aiming to evoke shared moments of insight and introspection through lyrical visual languages.
