“I love Hong Kong alleyways: they’re small hidden spaces which people use to smoke or take a break from the hustle and noise of the city. When out with my camera, I’m always looking for natural compositions and suggestions of stories. I loved how the two figures sitting, lead naturally to the group at the bottom of the stairway.”
Brendan Meachen is a British artist and photographer from London, who has been visiting Hong Kong since 2018. He got his first disposable camera when he was six-years old by saving coupons from the back of breakfast cereal packets, and has been fascinated with cameras ever since. Meachen has a keen interest in telling stories, both real and imagined, and uses images to explore the stories he wants to tell. He is interested in how human psychology shapes the spaces we inhabit, and how the spaces we inhabit tell stories about the people who inhabit them. Bren is an active member of the art community in both London and Hong Kong, and has had his drawings exhibited in Central London. He draws comics, and has had a short comic appear in the Anthology Tall Tales, which was awarded ‘Book of the Festival’ by Broken Frontier at Thought Bubble 2024.
