About Gary Yeung

 

Originally from Hong Kong and now based in Wales, Gary is a figurative artist passionate about capturing urban scenes and natural landscapes, both in his studio and outdoors. His main mediums are ink and watercolour, although he also enjoys working with acrylics and oils. He is one of the co-founders of Urban Sketchers Hong Kong, the Hong Kong chapter of the global Urban Sketchers network.  

 

After relocating to the Newport area of Wales in 2021, Gary continued his passion for urban sketching, connecting with fellow sketchers and exploring his new surroundings through art. These connections led him to co-found Urban Sketchers Newport in 2023, bringing together local artists who share a passion for sketching on location.  Beyond urban and rural landscapes, Gary is also passionate about illustration, exploring a wide range of subjects, including wildlife, imaginative settings, legends and mythology from different cultures. His work reflects a curiosity about both the natural world and the rich traditions of storytelling across cultures.  

 

Since 2021, Gary has exhibited his work at various art venues across South Wales, including Barnabas Arts House (Newport), Gallery 57 (Newport), Newport Museum and Art Gallery, Cowbridge Art Society (Cowbridge), Cardiff M.A.D.E, Pontypool Museum, and The Riverfront Theatre (Newport). In 2026, Gary was awarded the Contemporary Art Society for Wales Hibbard Prize and was also selected for membership of the Royal Watercolour Society of Wales.  

 

Alongside his own artistic practice, Gary is an art teacher and franchise partner at Colourwheel Cardiff. He teaches regular art classes for adults and also leads workshops and demonstrations at various venues across South Wales.

Gary 原籍香港，現居英國威爾斯，是一位熱愛具象藝術創作的藝術家，尤其喜歡描繪城市景貌及自然風景。他既喜歡在畫室內創作，亦熱衷於戶外寫生，主要以鋼筆及水彩為創作媒介，同時亦喜歡運用塑膠彩及油畫顏料作畫。他是「香港城市速寫」（Urban Sketchers Hong Kong）的共同創辦人之一，該組織是全球 Urban Sketchers 城市速寫網絡的香港分會。  

 

Gary 於2021年移居威爾斯紐波特（Newport）地區後，繼續透過城市速寫探索新環境，並藉此結識了不少當地志同道合的速寫愛好者。這些交流促使他於2023年共同創立「紐波特城市速寫」（Urban Sketchers Newport），凝聚一群熱愛現場寫生的藝術愛好者，一同以畫筆記錄城市生活與周遭景物。

 

除了城市及鄉郊風景，Gary 亦熱愛不同題材的插畫創作，包括野生動物、充滿想像力的奇幻場景，以及來自世界不同文化的傳說與神話故事。他的作品展現了對自然世界的好奇，以及對不同文化與故事傳統的濃厚興趣。  自2021年起，Gary 曾於南威爾斯多個藝術場地展出作品，包括紐波特的 Barnabas Arts House、Gallery 57、Newport Museum and Art Gallery（紐波特博物館及美術館）、Cowbridge Art Society、Cardiff M.A.D.E、Pontypool Museum，以及紐波特的 The Riverfront Theatre。2026年，他榮獲威爾斯當代藝術協會（Contemporary Art Society for Wales）頒發的 Hibbard Prize 藝術獎，並獲選成為威爾斯皇家水彩畫協會（Royal Watercolour Society of Wales）會員。  

 

除了個人藝術創作，Gary 亦是一位藝術導師，現為 Colourwheel Cardiff 的特許經營合作夥伴。他定期教授成人藝術課程，並於南威爾斯不同場地舉辦藝術工作坊及示範活動。如欲了解更多有關 Colourwheel Cardiff 藝術課程的資訊，請按此處。Colourwheel Art Class Cardiff
