Freehand Styler （寫意達人）
Joseph Wu (born 1963), professionally known as Freehand Styler, is a Hong Kong-born artist renowned for his mastery of Lingnan-style Chinese painting. His works focus on capturing the delicate essence of nature, depicting flowers, birds, fish, and insects with a unique blend of strength and lightness. His art reflects Chinese philosophy and often carries deep poetic meaning.
In addition to his artistic pursuits, Wu studied Business Community Enterprises & IT and earned a BA degree with Honours from Liverpool University in 2004. This academic foundation has informed his approach to community engagement and cultural promotion.
Wu has exhibited extensively across Hong Kong, China, and the United Kingdom. Notable exhibitions in Hong Kong include his participation in the 9th to 12th Hong Kong Calligraphy and Painting Art Association Member Works Exhibitions held at Hong Kong City Hall and the Birds and Flowers Painting Exhibition at Tai Yau Plaza in 2022. In China, he contributed to joint exhibitions with the Foshan Artists Association at the Lingnan Fine Arts Museum.
Since relocating to Nottingham, UK, in 2021, Wu has actively promoted Chinese art and culture. He has organized and participated in multiple exhibitions, including his 2023 joint exhibition for Heritage Open Day at the Royal British Legion in Beeston and his solo exhibition “Serenity in Watercolour and Ink: The Life and Beauty of Nature” at the St. Marylebone Art Space, London, in 2024. He has also held teaching workshops, including Chinese painting and calligraphy classes at Tesco Toton Community Space and public demonstrations during cultural events such as the Lunar New Year Celebration in Nottingham.
A student of Rev. Kwok Kuen Patrick Chan, a disciple of Professor Chao Shao-an, Wu’s art combines traditional Chinese techniques with inspirations drawn from nature. His work continues to embody the Lingnan spirit, emphasizing the harmony between humanity and nature.
