Catalogue published to accompany Chu Hing Wah's solo exhibition 'Living in Compassion: The Art of Chu Hing Wah' held in Hanart TZ Gallery in December 2017 and January 2018.

'Chu's style and technique have the innocent quality of the promitive painter, but at its core, his art is infused with a sophisticated understanding. The emotional tenor of his works is free of any sense of crass urbanity even as his imagery is drawn from scenes of urban Hong Kong life. Through his extraordinary colours, and clean and simple compositions, he pieces together his memories of old Hong Kong. With his keen sensitivity to the fragility of the human psyche, Chu understands that for ordinary people in the city, life's true pleasure is still found in the bonds of community and family. These are the strengths that enable us to withstand the corrosive quality of this commercialised age. They are the starting points from which we form a bond with our world. His depiction of traditional festivals and fragmented episodes in life also convey a strong sense of affection and contentment.' - excerpted from the book sleeves.

Includes images of the paintings and artist's biography.
