Andrew Lui swam to Hong Kong in 1970 when he was 19 after serving as a Red Guard for two years during the Cultural Revolution and being sent to a reform farm for another two subsequent years.  His pilgrimage in life took him even further away after a brief stop, two years again, in Hong Kong to Ontario, Canada, where he studied art and established himself as one of the leading artists in Montreal.

The theme of his solo exhibition in Hong Kong, Pilgrim Progress, is actually a reflection of his feelings and emotions over the past three decades. In his artist statement, Lui says, to him, experiences are these moments of self-inflicted happiness from the ups and downs in life.  "In recent years, I have indulged myself in painting the melancholy and exhilaration of the voyageurs on the move".  His works are expressionistic as well as impressionistic, horses and men sharing a common destiny.
