AMY TANG

Amy Tang Wing-yin is an artist currently based between Hong Kong and Zhongshan, China, whose abstract painting practice explores the boundaries and possibilities of landscape painting. Inspired by the rich and eclectic environment of Kwu Tung in Sheung Shui, as well as Xiaolan in Zhongshan, where she has established her studios, Tang attempts to encapsulate the dynamic between the natural and the manmade through a process of translating environments into abstract language. She is invested in reinterpreting the conceptual construct of ‘Nature’ and the category of ‘Landscape’, an age-old genre of painting conditioned by different ways of contemplating, perceiving, and understanding the world. Ultimately, Tang is concerned with how we understand our existence and position ourselves in the world, and how our imagination may be freed from pre-conceived notions of nature through abstract expression to fully immerse ourselves in direct experience.
