Humchuk is here to give all people in Hong Kong a warm, big hug.
Hong Kong illustrator Ricky Luk, who goes by the name Humchuk, abandoned his career in architecture in 2014 and has since then created works inspired by stories from people he meets in Hong Kong.
Known for his iconic character “Mask Man”, he captures the everyday experiences and emotions of ordinary people, transforming conversations into artworks that provide solace, seeking to reveal hidden emotions in typically monochrome, minimalist works. Condensing his stories into short lines accompanied by healing affirmations, his work addresses the cycle of joy and sorrow, meeting and parting. Humchuk encourages his audience to take a renewed look at the meaning of loss and farewells.
