Joey Leung   梁祖彝

Joey Leung has been a professional photographer since 2001, but meanwhile has been devoting time to develop himself as a professional ceramicist. He graduated with Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts) majoring in ceramic from RMIT University in 2011. Joey uses both ceramic and photography as media to express himself and his opinions towards the relationship between people, society and nature. Joey has won numerous awards from the Hong Kong Press Photographers Association, and his ceramic works are in various private collections.

Fish is a reoccurring motif in Joey’s work. Artistically interpreted and hand-painted by Joey, his fish images merge both traditional and modern elements - making them uniquely Joey’s. Elements are diverse and include folk tradition, images and happenings in current society, and even people’s aspirations for life and after death. He tries to put both his emotion and thoughts into the work at the same time, rather than just offering something beautiful for the eyes to look at, thus encouraging the audience to feel and think.
