Visitors to arts galleries and museums always only can appreciate the end product of paintings, but miss the most valuable and interesting part ¡V its creative process. The dance inspires ADA Angel Ko Nam. Each stroke, line and dot on the painting seems to echo the dance movement of the lady. The common roots of Chinese dance, music and painting will be explored in this collaborative exercise.

Born in China in 1963, Ko Nam lost his hearing due to childhood sickness. He loves nature and travels widely in China. He skillfully interprets the realistic world with his feelings using colourful strokes and brushes. Ko Nam¡¦s paintings are full of nature¡¦s touching facets as well as the painter¡¦s inner passions. He is skilled in painting the mountains, the countryside, the snow and the wood scenes. Ko Nam is the winner of Poster design, Silk Painting and Watercolour Painting Contest in 2003 and 2007. In 1993, he took part in ¡§Art exhibition for the international panda festival in Chengdu¡¨.
