Kan Tai-keung
Kan is one of Hong Kong’s most famous graphic designers and noted ink painters. Born in 1942 in Panyu, Guangdong, Kan has resided in Hong Kong since 1957. Influenced by his clay sculptor grandfather, Kan developed a passion for painting in his childhood.

Kan was an active participant of Hong Kong’s New Ink Art Movement and has continued to explore his unique brand of creativity. Since the early 1970s, Kan has been actively involved in art and design education. Kan was the first designer elected as one of the “Hong Kong Ten Outstanding Young Persons” in 1979, the only designer to receive the Urban Council Design Grand Award in 1984 and was the first Chinese to be included in the “Who’s Who in Graphic Design” of Switzerland in 1995. He was conferred with the Honor of Bronze Bauhinia Star in 1999. In 2010, he was commended officially with the Honor of Silver Bauhinia Star. Kan is involved in educating and promoting art and design professions. In 2005, Kan was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Design from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

靳埭强，1942年生于广东番禺，是国际著名资深设计师及水墨画家，自六七年开始投身水墨画创作及设计工作，纵横设计界及艺坛五十一年。
其作品除获得国际权威刊物刊载之外，还曾在世界各国等地多次策划及举行个人展览，更被海内外多地博物馆收藏。
靳叔在设计界德高望重并获奖无数，曾荣获的奖项包括：洛杉矶世界艺术比赛金奖、英国刚古纸机构形象设计金奖、日本字体设计师协会最佳作品奖、波兰首届国际电脑艺术比赛全场冠军大奖、香港市政局设计大奖、香港市政局艺术（水墨媒材）绘画奖、香港设计师协会终身荣誉奖等，并获香港特别行政区颁予铜紫荆星章和银紫荆星章勋衔。
业内都尊称他为“靳叔”, 是平面设计界当之无愧的大师级人物。
除了在设计方面的造诣之外，靳叔在水墨画上也有自己独特的画风。作品综合了吕寿琨、王无邪在抽象水墨实验与设计构成美学方面的策略与探索，将林泉高致的山水图式融入他气度磅礴的“山水书法”之中，开辟了自己独创的将东方传统水墨情趣与西方设计思维融汇为一的现代风格。
