Views of China through the paint strokes of Eddie Chau.

Sketching Hong Kong--The Drawings of Eddie Chau is a panoramic record of Hong Kong by the Indonesian-Chinese painter Eddie Chau. A testament to geographical history, each painting is a passage in Hong Kong's story, each stroke a moment in time. This book serves as a retrospective of Chau's art through his early years in Bandung, his coming-of-age in Guangdong, and his final decades in Hong Kong.

Eddie Chau (1945-2020) was a Chinese painter born in Bandung, Indonesia. When the anti-Chinese riots broke out in 1965, many overseas Chinese returned home. Eventually settling in Hong Kong in 1992, Eddie became known for his panoramic watercolor landscapes of Hong Kong. Phoebe Wong is a Hong Kong-based culture worker with a special interest in contemporary art, design, and visual media. She was head of research at Asia Art Archive before becoming an independent researcher and writer in 2012.
