David Lam Chun-fai (林鎮輝; 1932 - February 21, 2013) was a Hong Kong born Canadian artist. Lam began producing art in the 1950s while studying with Lee Byng (1903 - 1994), who had trained in Canada. As a young man, he was an assistant curator at the City Hall Museum and Art Gallery, precursor to the Hong Kong Museum of Art. In 1965, Lam himself moved to Canada, while maintaining strong ties with Hong Kong and was a founding member of the Circle Art Group there, along with Hon Chi-Fun (1922 - 2019), Cheung Yee (1936 - 2019), and Van Lau (1933 - present). Around the time of his relocation to Canada, Lam also began to receive recognition of his work, receiving first prize in the Hong Kong Open Art Competition. He was commissioned for paintings of commercial buildings in Hong Kong, including the Hilton Hotel (Hong Kong's first five-star hotel), in 1963 and for a series of four posters by the Hong Kong Tourist Association in 1969. Lam's style, most indicative in his watercolor landscapes, combined traditional Chinese landscape painting with Western influences.
