The Independent | “Restauranteur Mr Chow returns to art after 50 year sabbatical”

Michael Chow, the celebrated restaurateur, has returned to his “true” passion of making art after what he described as a “50 year sabbatical”.

Following a successful career in hospitality, with Mr Chow restaurants in London and across America, he will display work in London this week for the first time since he was in his 20s.“When I was very young, I painted professionally,” Mr Chow said. “Then I quit for a radical sabbatical for 50 years. Now I’m back.”
