This original 100x70cm oil painting captures the raw intensity and layered urban drama of Hong Kong’s legendary Kai Tak Airport.

Hand-painted in Hong Kong by a local artist and former Kai Tak resident who experienced its awe firsthand from 1982-1998, it was created entirely from memory; no photographs, no references. Just lived experience, translated into paint. A true one-of-one. No prints, no reproductions, just a single, brush-rendered memory of aviation history’s most iconic descent.

Rich in texture and movement, the piece merges skyline and sky path into a portrait of flight woven into the city itself. A rare collector’s artefact from Hong Kong’s boutique art scene, made for those who know that some runways never truly disappear.

Only one exists. Shipping arrangements to be made on contact after purchase.
