Cary Kwok

Cary Kwok is a London-based artist who specialises in ball point pen drawings. Born and raised in Hong Kong, he completed a footwear course there before moving to London in the mid 90s to study his BA and then MA in Fashion Design: Womenswear at Central Saint Martins.
Kwok is fascinated by fashion, period costumes, footwear, sexuality, and London street style. His subjects range from explicit male nudes to period portraits and still lifes, with work often subtly alluding to issues of race, ethnicity, culture, gender and sexual equality.
Cary is represented by Herald St Gallery in London and has exhibited internationally in London, New York, Miami, Tokyo, Geneva and Zurich, including shows at Galerie Emanuel Perrotin, Miami, Attention to Detail curated by Chuck Close at FLAG Art Foundation, New York, Rude Britannia at the Tate Britain, London, Keep Your Timber Limber, ICA London, Taro Nasu, Tokyo and Hauser & Wirth, Zurich.
