BIOGRAPHY
Frank TANG Born in 1988, Hong Kong A Hong Kong-based artist, Frank Tang uses a range of technologies and media in his practice, including ink painting, video installation, sound and performance. Known for his contemporary approach to Chinese ink painting, Tang’s works often contemplate on the close and intricate relationship between human, history, urban and natural landscapes through the construction of real and imaginary spaces, as well as visualising active and passive journeys with his platforms. Tang received his Bachelor of Visual Arts from the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University in 2010. He was the winner of several awards, including the Yau Sang Cheong Chinese painting Award in 2009; the AVA Award by the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University in 2010; the Louis Mak Chinese Painting Award and the Muses Foundation for Culture and Education Scholarship, both in 2012. He was also the finalist of the Hong Kong Art Prize 2013, organised by the Wheelock Gallery. Tang’s works have been included in solo and group exhibitions in local and international art institutions.
