RAYMOND FUNG: The Breathing Series
As both a successful architect and artist, Fung's work in each field influences the other. As an architect, he has learned to guide the eye through carefully framed windows to the landscape beyond. In his visual art practice, he employs the same technique. The viewer is offered a window into the artist's inner landscapes.
