Frankie Au (b. 1989, Hong Kong) recently received his Master of Arts in Fine Arts from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. A practicing architect and educator, Au holds degrees from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design (M.Arch), The Chinese University of Hong Kong (MAFA), and The University of Hong Kong (BAAS). His work integrates painting and drawing, exploring the intersection of visual art and architecture. Inspired by John Hejduk's architectural poetics, the work "Where the Wall Ends" uses the house not as shelter, but as a vessel for emotional and theoretical exploration of what happens when those structures juxtapose with child-like imagination, when the rigidity of architectural training gives way to intuition and spontaneity. Bold primary colours and soft washes evoke joy, playfulness, and the passage of time, while architectural fragments become poetic constructs open to interpretation. The work reflects Au's journey toward creative liberation.
