I have inherited an oil painting of a child signed by (I think) Chin Sin. This came from a cousin who was chief dietician at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in HK many years ago.

Does anyone know anything about this artist? I can find nothing online, except a reference that his work might have been sold by Konn's Fine-Arts in Hong Kong.

Thanks!

I also have a painting of a woman carrying a boy on her back...signed by Chin Sin.

The painting depicts a shopping area of Hong Kong.

I also have a letter from Konn's Fine-Arts, "Hongkong Hilton Hotel" that states: "Chin sin was borned in Canton 1926, he studiet art from a very well-known artist Mr. Yu born since 1947"(sic)..."In 1959, he acts as a teacher teaching oil painting in the Hong Kong International Art Schoool, and in 1963 he joined Konn's Group of Artist and also held several exhibitions in Hong Kong and B.C. Vancouver of Canada".

Hope this helps!

Would also appreciate it if you find more information about Chin Sin.

Thanks for the reply.

Chin Sin certainly seems to be a very competent painter. I will let you know if I find out any more.

Best wishes.
