A mixed media art piece featuring two black and white photographs, both of children, set against a square grid background. The square grid background is in brown with koi fish colored in blue and beige. Below the two photographs are six fortune cookies., Horatio Hung-yan Law; Made in Chinatown U.S.A.; 1994; Collagraph with Photolitho Chine Colle and Fortune Cookies; 22x30 inches, Born in Hong Kong, at age 16 Law immigrated with his family to New York City, where he stayed through high school. He then moved to Baltimore to study pre-med. “Molecular biology was the rage at Johns Hopkins, and I was just so bored,” he says with a laugh. “I could not connect with that at all, but I was obligated to finish it.” He returned to New York and got a research job at Columbia University, where he could take classes for free. “When I took my first painting class, it was like a light bulb turned on. I wasn't sure what was happening, I just knew it was important, so I kept taking art classes, and soon I was doing like three art classes at night and doing a full-time job, helping out my family business in Chinatown.” He quit the day job and went on to earn his BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York, a printmaking diploma from Il Bisonte International School of Graphic Arts in Italy, and his MFA from Washington University in St. Louis. A residency brought Law to Portland in 1994; he then taught briefly at the University of Oregon and considered a move to the Bay Area, but found it a difficult place for artists. “I love Portland. I think it’s the kind of city that is very open to young artists, and a city that really cares about its citizens,“ he says. “It’s easier to survive here. It has the amenities of a big city but also it doesn’t have the grittiness…it’s a nice combination of things.” (see biography at http://www.pnca.edu/exposure/stories/21/horatio-hung-yan-law), horatiolaw@gmail.com, http://www.horatiolaw.com/, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.
