Dr. Yip
Lai Lam
(Oct 21,
2003, photos by Lamma-Gung & Dr. Yip)
You
might have noticed the paintings of Lamma exhibited in the Lamma ferry
pier in Central, in the waiting area along the iron grids separating
the Yung Shue Wan and Sok Kwu Wan ferry piers?
Via the HK & Kowloon Ferry company, I
managed to get in touch with the artist, Dr. Yip.
He's a retired professor, Qigong
master, a man of many talents, with more letters after his name than
most people I know: BSc. PhD. MIEnv Sc. Cert. Ed. Ad. Dip. Qigong,
Cert. Psychoneuroimmunology.
His paintings, just a hobby he claims, are a mix of Western
watercolours and Chinese brush stroke technique. They've been given to
the ferry co. for free for an open-ended, long-time exhibition. He's
not eager to sell them, but if you'd really like to own one, or meet
this very pleasant & wise artist,
email him!

info: "Dr. David Yip Lai Lam was born in
1937 in Hong Kong. In his early years, before going abroad to further
his studies in England and in North America, he apprenticed under
artist Wong Hai and had attended various famous artists'
demonstrations such as Mr. Wong Po-yeh. Dr. Yip took advantage of the
unique opportunity of his studies abroad to visit many museums and
galleries. For years, Dr. Yip worked as a senior Lecturer in a local
higher institution while privately engaged in non-professional artist
pursuits.
In 1996, he held
his first one-man show entitled "The Anti-Japanese War" in Vancouver.
Another more recent show "Illusory War-Ridden Life" was held in the
Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence in 2001. He is a former part-time
lecturer in Zen & Qigong Therapy at the Open University of Hong Kong
and a member of the Vancouver Chinese Artists Society in Vancouver,
Canada".
