Karin Weber Gallery is excited to announce ‘Seven Weeks Five Days’, an artistic collaboration between two renowned female talents in the Hong Kong arts scene. Good friends and inspiring colleagues, Tang Ying Chi and Tsang Chui Mei combine forces and creativity in this show, pairing their paintings to create a unique dialogue between two individuals and their artistic energies.

Tsang Chui Mei is renowned for her semi-abstract landscapes. She delicately layers paint on paint, then constructs delicate layers by scratching, honing and polishing to achieve her own flowing compositions or ‘scenes’. Nature, its mountains and rocks, is implied via cracks, rugged surfaces and thick applications of paint, whilst a range of perspectives hints at Tsang’s roots in traditional Chinese painting. Says the artist, “my work implies the sense of impermanence that temporal things, in a continuous change of condition, are subject to decline and renewal.”

Tang Ying Chi’s landscapes are more defined through some outlines and strong colour washes yet are also entirely imaginary. The artist equally draws on the inspiration and techniques of Chinese landscape painting in applying multiple perspectives in her work. For Stella Tang, ‘’the making of art gives me opportunities to think of our living life in all perspectives.”

Closing Reception: 25 May 2024, 3-6 pm

Gallery address: 20 Aberdeen Street, Central
