Kwong San Tang

Tang Kwong San’s multimedia practice spans graphite drawing, oil painting, objects, photography, and video installations. His process is rigorous, with each medium serving a distinct role. Graphite provides a steady, rhythmic foundation, while oil painting adds a lighter, more lyrical counterpoint. By embedding photographs and found materials into his works, Tang transforms paintings into objects — reconstructing and reinterpreting them to explore the layered interplay of memory. Through this process, he conveys the subtle, interwoven relationships between longing, loss, and belonging. Born in 1992 in Dongguan, China, Tang Kwong San received his BFA in 2019 through the joint program between RMIT University and the Hong Kong Art School. He currently lives and works in Hong Kong. Recent exhibitions include: “EARTHED: RECONNECTING WITH THE GROUND” at the Guangdong Museum of Art (2026), “Floating World” at Guangdong Times Museum (2025), “Rootstock” at gdm Hong Kong (2024), “Marginal Notes” at the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (2023), “Landing on the East” at Hong Kong Art Centre, and “Wandering. At Sea” at Hidden Space, Hong Kong (2020).
