Kimmy Hai Kam Lan is a graduate from Baptist University, Academy of Visual Arts. She works in graphic design, painting, and installation. Most of her early artworks focus on investigating the relationship between humans, society, and the environment. After a period of trial and error, she began to use mixed media as her creative media. She often incorporates graphics into different media, such as three-dimensional forms and multimedia, and some bright-coloured plain blocks. Kimmy’s work, “Hong Kong 2030”, aims to investigate and discuss the problems of social issues in Hong Kong’s society today. Creating a series of brightly coloured posters that touch on housing and environmental issues. Housing in Hong Kong comes at unattainable prices for most people in the city. The property developers advertise micro apartments as palatial dream homes. Kimmy’s posters advertise sardine-can “Luxury Can Style House” that is “One Size Fits All.” Her poster “How to build a cardboard ‘Dream House’” ironically comes with the sticker “Life is Good.”
