David Diao Not To Scale 2016 acrylic on canvas 72 x 120 inches
Diao was born in Chengdu in 1943. In 1949 he came to Hong Kong and then left for New York in 1955. While his
journey from Chengdu to New York was full of uncertainty, Hong Kong was essentially his transit spot en route both
geographically and emotionally speaking.

David Diao This Way Out 2 2016 acrylic and carbon on canvas 42 x 100 inches
Hong Kong was a transportation hub, a point of departure for the Diao famly. The next stop could be Brazil or
America. Not sure which, they knew they wouldn't stay in Hong Kong forever. They came to Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon,
a less vibrant place then, and settled down in a new building on Chatham Road.
