Taiwan-based Malaysian Artist Insists on Creating for Hong Kong's Pro-democracy Movement
After the passing of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, some of Tekkhean Lee’s (#小雞) exhibitions have been canceled, and some of his art pieces have to be replaced by white.
Lee is a Taiwan-based Malaysian artist. Lately, he has launched a fundraising campaign to publish a book of all his printmaking pieces to include all of his artworks from 2019 till now, in order to “save a record”.
As a foreigner, he is actively involved in creating works for Hong Kong, which sometimes attract criticism for “exploiting” the Hong Kongers. But for Lee, he insisted on creating art and did not think too much on criticism.
“Since Hong Kong people cannot do it, that is why we have to do as much as we can in this land with free speech," Lee said.
