We Took a Big Step

Today was a big day. We moved the Chen Lok Lee collection into Asian Arts Initiative’s building where we will begin the cataloging and organizing process. In taking a quick look through some of the work (which I haven’t seen in the last two years), I discovered that some of my work was mixed in with my father’s.

On the left is mine. On the right is my father’s. He was always my inspiration.

My parents never pushed us into art. In fact, it was the opposite. But when we wanted to paint, draw or otherwise dabble, they were always there for us.

Stay tuned for more next Saturday when we dive into the collection. I can’t wait! Follow the story here.

今天是重要的一天。 我们将Chen Lok Lee的收藏移至@asianartsphilly,我们将开始编目和组织过程。 在快速浏览一些作品(这是我近两年来未曾见过的)时,我发现我的一些作品与父亲的作品混在一起了。

 左边是我的。 右边是我父亲的。 他一直是我的灵感来源。  

 我的父母从未将我们推向艺术领域。 实际上,情况恰恰相反。 但是,当我们想要绘画,绘图或其他方式涉猎时,他们总是在我们身边。

 下周六,当我们深入该系列时,敬请期待更多。 我等不及了! 在这里关注故事。
