Hong Kong singer and actor Andy Lau recently held his first art show, 1/X Andy Lau X Art Exhibition, which will run until Sept 9.
The show is made up of eight zones and features various installations, sculptures and digital art pieces that explore the multiple facets of Lau’s career and personal life.
On the upper floor of the exhibition lies Honey, a zone dedicated to the superstar’s family that showcases landscape and flower paintings by him and his 11-year-old daughter Hanna.
In an interview with Hong Kong media, Lau, 61, said that his daughter always had a talent for art and praised her for being a much better artist than he was.
“Several paintings that people find beautiful aren’t actually made by me.
“I have been told by (art) professionals that I have to think outside the box as my daughter is more creative than me,” he said.
The Infernal Affairs star added that his daughter has created 1,200 art pieces so far but did not want to put her earlier works on display.
He also shared that picking up painting with his daughter has strengthened their bond and improved the way they communicate with one another.
“I think father and daughter painting together is better than her learning on her own. It’s one of life’s pleasures,” he said.
This isn’t the first time Lau showed off his daughter’s artworks.
In 2020, the Heavenly King put together a 20-minute video where he shared several paintings he and Hanna made while taking online art classes together.
Dubbed by Hong Kong media as a “model father”, Lau is known for showing strong support for his daughter.
He was lauded by netizens last December for making time to attend and support his daughter's school play.
Lau also said early February that he loves spoiling his daughter and considers himself to be a "yes-dad".
Lau tied the knot with his Malaysian partner, former model Carol Chu, in 2008. They welcomed their daughter in 2012.
