Containers As Evidence of Presence - Solo Exhibition by Tang Kwok Hin

Amelia Johnson Contemporary is extremely proud to present the first solo exhibition of young Hong Kong artist, Tang Kwok Hin.

Tang Kwok Hin is a rising star of the Hong Kong art scene.  His work is attracting interest from collectors and curators alike and he is fast becoming one of the most talked about Hong Kong artists of his generation, with a reputation for creating thought provoking work heavily infused with a local flavor. In 2009, he won First Prize at the Hong Kong Biennale.

For his first solo exhibition, entitled Containers as Evidence of Presence, Tang explores the idea that nothing can exist independently of anything else, even something as intangible as the air is defined by its material container.  Containers give protection to the things being contained, at the same time they offer conditions of existence: sometimes they need to be opened, for instance, a gift box or a treasure chest; sometimes they are hidden or out of sight.  ​The works in the exhibition depict the artist's fascination with the interdependent relationship of containers and the contained.     

Opening reception 29 April in the presence of the artist.

Exhibition runs until 30 May 2010.
