"In viewing the student's work at the Academy, I truly believe the quality of art education does not fully rely on the size and the facilities of an institution. It mainly depends on the teaching method, the passion to the students and the enthusiastic and spirited dedication in art education by the faculty."

"The Hong Kong Academy of Fine Arts has nurtured thousands of artists over the part 30 years, adding new blood to the field of art. These are either in the artistic field of painting, education, design, broadcasting, fashion, textile, advertising, printing, crafts as well as activities locally or overseas, or contributing their artistic knowledge in their work. In both ways, they promote they development of arts!"

"It would be an honour to have such a distinguished artist and art professor exhibit in Art Asia. You are fortunate to have such a treasured artist as Professor Chan still living and teaching in Hong Kong."

CHAN HOI YING epitomizes the best of two art worlds. He has become a bridge between Asian-Oriental and Occidental-Western art. Over the past ten years, I have personally watched as his efforts to educate young artists took root flourished to bright flower. His personal contributions to modern portraiture and realistic interpretation of landscape painting methods are well documented by requests for his works in prestigious show and galleries.

Mr. Chan is considered a master in education as his students find favor and credit. The fact of his long and productive career places him in high demand both in the east and western hemispheres. He has demonstrated his ability to live in the multi ?cultural mode of our modern time. His proven techniques and arts contribution shall long outlive his earthy presence as a continuing memorial to his achievements long after we who enjoy him today have passed from the scene.

As a contemporary of little talent, I stand in awe of his artistic accomplished.
