Max Cheng 鄭志堅
Hong Kong
Max Cheng is a Visual Art graduate of the Hong Kong Baptist University. He creates art with the sense of smell, mostly using installation and mixed media as the medium. Cheng emphasizes on the value of object itself and uncovers creativities in daily life. He established okapi studio after graduation and collaborates with charities and different organisations to produce scent products, hold incense-making workshops, and organise local farm docent tours and exhibitions; through various activities, Max aims to promote the many faces of “incense culture” and the idea of “closing the loop” by making incense from natural ingredients and utilising incense ash as fertiliser.
Max is currently collaborating with HART on designing and executing HUMBLE HART, HART’s community and art program that extends interactions and communications to selected neighbourhoods, encourages participants from different backgrounds to engage in arts in new ways and increase social impact and enhance social inclusion.
