Curator's note...
"Hong Kong is a paradise. By many measures it is the world’s greatest city. We have been through challenging times, both for the city and its people.
With these artists' works, all of whom deeply love Hong Kong and have spent most, if not all of their lives in Hong Kong, I have sought to highlight the wonderful things about this place we call home.
This exhibition is meant as an antidote to what we have all been through, a reminder of just how magnificent a place Hong Kong is, and will be again."
William Furniss

Polo Bourieau
Born in France, Polo Bourieau studied art at the Academie of Nantes before joining the French stonemasons guild Compagnons du Tour de France. By formation and inclination, he focuses a his creativity in re-kindling the natural relationship between sculpture and architecture through large site-specific commissions.
Collaborating directly with architects and developers, Polo creates monumental sculptures, believing their presence in public spaces confronts and creates dialogue, igniting curiosity to explore the space we’re living in and understanding our concept of individuality.
Joseph Ellul
Joseph has been into art, design, and illustration for as long as he can remember. Now aged 16, he grew up on Lamma, a small island 30-minutes away on a ferry ride from Hong Kong island.
Most of his work is inspired by the animals, insects and things that surround him in his day-to-day life. His goal for the near future is to see more of the world and be inspired to develop and broaden his creative skills and talent.
Veronica Emery
Veronica Emery, the lawyer-turned-interior designer was born and raised in Argentina to an Italian mother and Swiss father, and has Polish and Russian grandparents.
She studied a postgraduate degree in Bruges, Belgium – where she met her Japanese-born French husband. They have four children having lived in the UK, Japan, Bali and now Hong Kong.

Eleanor McColl
Eleanor McColl is a multi-disciplinary artist, based in Hong Kong since 1999 after studying Fine Art at U.W.E Bristol in England.
McColl's work is rooted in place with a focus on the urban environment. Her work draws the eye to the often unnoticed details of the city, casting the "shadows on the wall" of the modern human condition. Her cityscapes explore the interface between Hong Kong's unique verticality and it's impact on its people. “I am interested in capturing those small but arresting details that catch my eye ... such as a flash of colour from a dangling piece of washing..."
Palani Mohan
Acclaimed photographer and speaker Palani Mohan works with leading international media & corporates, and is the author of six books including "Hunting with Eagles: In the Realm of the Mongolian Kazakhs" lauded as “an anthropological treasure.” His work has been shown at the prestigious Visa Pour L’Image in Perpignan, France, featured in the New Yorker magazine and is part of the London National Portrait Gallery's collection. Numerous awards include Picture of the Year & Sony International.
