Michael Luk, PhD
Dr. Michael Luk is a distinguished art curator and cultural strategist with an interdisciplinary background spanning psychology, academia, and the visual arts. He holds a PhD in Organisational Psychology from The University of Hong Kong and has taught and researched the intersection of psychology and cultural expression at several leading universities.
After over three decades as an amateur photographer, he transitioned his passion for visual storytelling into professional curatorship. In 2025, he curated the critically acclaimed exhibition Mirror of the Soul – The Illusion of Universal Identity at the Peggy Jay Gallery, featuring the works of Lui Youju. The show explored themes of self-perception, cultural memory, and the fluid nature of identity through the lens of psychology and contemporary art.
Michael specialises in intellectually rigorous, concept-driven exhibitions that blend psychological and philosophical inquiry with strong aesthetic and emotional resonance. He is known for creating immersive experiences that make complex ideas accessible while elevating both emerging and established artists in upscale gallery and institutional settings.
He is currently curating Mirror of the Soul – From Cultural Memory to Universal Identity, an evolution of his earlier work on identity and belonging."
