Ricky Lai is a multi-media Designer, Artist, and Curator. He is a graduate of Central Saint Martins, London, and is currently Creative Director of Open Quote Concept Store. He is an awardee of DFA Hong Kong Young Design Talent Award. His work ‘69°N 51°W’ was created in extreme environments in Greenland several years ago. Integrating the imagination of words, the visual stimulation of graphics, and the emotional affection of music, it is an exemplary work of crossing boundaries. With the mission to develop an appreciation for art in our society, Lai also founded Open Quote, a hub where artists can showcase their work to the public. With increased awareness, Lai believes that local creators will be able to focus on their art without having to worry about their livelihood.
