Veteran Actor Simon Yam Unveils Artistic Side with Photography Exhibition

In December, Hong Kong's Fringe Club will play host to a unique exhibition, as veteran actor Simon Yam showcases his artistic side through a photography and painting display.

With over five decades in the film industry and more than 240 films and 90 television series under his belt, Yam has made a name for himself as a versatile performer. However, his creative pursuits extend beyond the silver screen.

Yam's artistic journey began in the 1980s, and his passion for visuals dates back to his childhood. Despite not having the opportunity to learn painting or study fine arts during his youth, his interest in visuals never waned.

Yam's art medium is both photography and painting, with acrylic and oil as his primary painting mediums, and occasional use of watercolors. His work, which has been ongoing for several decades, has yet to produce any significant, widely recognised pieces in the painting world.

However, this lack of notoriety has not deterred Yam. He values the ability to create, stating that it makes life more fulfilling. His artistic ventures are driven by his core belief in creativity, and he believes that creativity is essential to human beings.

Yam's artistic practices expanded during the pandemic, with him using painting and new technologies to re-enact and create. In recent years, he has also started venturing into film direction and production, further demonstrating his commitment to creativity.

As the exhibition approaches, Yam is eager to discuss his artistic practices and share his creative vision with the public. The event promises to be an exciting showcase of Yam's diverse talents, offering a glimpse into the mind of a true creative spirit.
