Law Cheuk Yui, known professionally as Michael Andrew Law, is a Hong Kong artist, film producer, and art promoter, known in particular for his realist figurative works with Catholic themes.

Career

Law's early work included comics and Illustrations, with pieces published in Catholic newspaper Kung Kao Po, and the Catholic Children's Bible. In 2006 he pivoted to fine art painting, with portraits of Catholic figures and Hong Kong celebrities, which have since been exhibited internationally. Law has also worked on a series of large-scale realist figurative works, exhibited at The Avenue of Stars and Queen Victoria Street, Hong Kong in 2009.
Law's public work primarily features paintings of pop culture icons, including representations of comic book characters, film and rock stars, and collages of historical art works. He has also completed oil painting portraits of figures from the Catholic Church, including Pope Benedict XVI and Mother Teresa.
Law's exhibit "From Unmanifest to Manifest in the Art of Hyper Pop Surrealism" helped raise fund for the charity mission of the David Lynch Foundation. The exhibition included oil painted portraits of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, president John Hagelin, filmmaker David Lynch, and Bob Roth, chief executive of the David Lynch Foundation.
Law has also produced and directed several promotional music videos and two documentary films with his production group in Hong Kong.
