12-9-2023 (HONG KONG) Renowned Hong Kong singer-actor, Andy Lau, aged 61, has recently ventured into the world of art with his first exhibition, titled “1/X Andy Lau X Art Exhibition.” This exhibition offers a unique glimpse into Lau’s artistic talents, showcasing paintings, digital art pieces, calligraphy works, and even a three-meter-tall sculpture of Lau’s character from the 2003 Hong Kong action film, “Running On Karma.”
One of the most talked-about sections of the exhibition is dedicated to Lau and his 11-year-old daughter, Hanna. Despite his reputation for guarding his family’s privacy, Lau openly shares his daughter’s artistic talents. Back in 2020, Lau disclosed that he had been taking art classes with Hanna, even sharing a 20-minute video where they worked on several paintings together.

In interviews, Lau proudly explained that the section featuring their paintings is named “Honey,” symbolizing the inseparable bond he shares with his daughter. Discussing their landscape paintings, Lau revealed, “When we started, her school wanted the students to engage in numerous artistic projects. If she drew a mountain, I’d draw a mountain; I was merely accompanying her on this creative journey. Although there might be differing ideas when it comes to painting, what’s remarkable is that we never had any conflicts.”
Lau went on to express his belief that art is a “two-way street,” emphasizing that he and Hanna mutually influence and inspire each other. This creative exchange has allowed him to “reconnect with childlike innocence” through her artistry.
In an interview with Hong Kong media, Lau humbly acknowledged that professionals in the art industry have commented on Hanna’s superior artistic abilities. “I’ve been told by these professionals that I have to think outside the box because my daughter is more creative than me,” Lau remarked.
