Joey Leung Ka Yin (born 1976) is a Hong Kong contemporary visual artist. She is known for ink painting with the elements of gongbi, doggerel and comic drawing. In her artworks, they reflects her personal feeling and imagination towards the modern society, which is also to reflect the value of the traditional image under the contemporary media world. In most of her painting, the combination of the subject matter (which is usually a girl), the scenery (which is usually related to the nature) and also a short poem create a poetic feeling to leave a space of imagination to the viewer. In some other traditional paintings, girl usually become objectify and only focus on the shape of their bodies. However, the girl in her painting is very feasible and mouldable which can be interact with the other object or environment in harmony.
