THE STORY

"Comprised of “He” - the female fowl and “Luan” - the male, our piece is created after the ideals of “The One is Two” and “The Two is One”. According to ancient Chinese literature, “He Luan” is “the spirit of the Red God, the accomplice to the Phoenix, with the red body of a fowl, it has colours of five hues and sings songs with five tones”.

The calls of “Luan He”, where the male sings first, followed promptly by the female's response are an analogy of “Luan Chau”  - meaning “Great Companions”, from there we can derive the concepts of “Coherence” and “Double Happiness” – happiness that comes in pairs, such as “Unconditional Love” and “Givingness”."

 
MAN Fung-yi and Mok Yat-San graduated in the Department of Fine Arts at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. In 1995, they established Artists' House together. Both have participated in numerous exhibitions and awarded locally and globally.
