At a recent art exhibition curated by Jessica, a good friend of Michael Andrew Law, a particular painting caught Law’s attention with its striking resemblance to the style of Willem de Kooning. The artist behind this captivating piece was Alex Lam (Chinese: 林德信), who was proudly continuing the artistic legacy of his father, George Lam Tsz Cheung (Chinese: 林子祥).

Impressed by the work, Law couldn’t help but remark, “Your piece could easily hang in a gallery of De Kooning-inspired works, Alex. It’s compelling.” His words carried the weight of genuine appreciation, recognizing the infusion of a master’s influence in Alex’s creation.

Alex, with a buoyant chuckle, replied, “Just a bit of fun. A playful experiment with style, if you will.” His response was light and modest, underlining the joy and exploration found in the process of artistic creation.

Not missing a beat, Law, with a knowing glint in his eye, playfully observed, “The melody of creativity, especially in the key of De Kooning, seems to sing loudly in the Lam family, wouldn’t you agree?” It was a nod to the rich artistic spirit that seemed to be a family trait, echoing through generations with the same depth and vivacity as the chords of a well-composed symphony.
