Landing on Enclave

Yrellag Gallery is delighted to invite you to the their next solo exhibition, titled “Landing on Enclave,” by Amy Tang. The opening will be held on the 2nd of May 2025 from 4pm to 7pm and the show will be on view until the 28th of May 2025.

Amy Tang Wing-yin was born in Hong Kong, 1990. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2014 and established her studio in Kwu Tung and Zhongshan, focusing primarily on painting.

The artist seeks to expand the concept of "landscape," challenging its simple categorization. She believes that the perspective of a landscape is not necessarily fixed; instead, she explores the abstract potential of landscapes, expressing their essence rather than their physical attributes. Choosing a metaphysical approach to image study over a rigid, figurative depiction allows viewers to be guided by the painting itself rather than its symbolic meaning, inviting them to delve into their own imagination.

Through layered brushstrokes and scraping, her paintings reveal traces that repeatedly disappear and re-emerge. The abstract space presented in her work embodies the creation and collapse of order, contrasting the tensions of conflict with the wholeness of the everyday, highlighting their differences and incompleteness. The tension between these two states serves as a starting point for new pathways. The frame of the canvas— or the boundaries of an artwork— occupies and partitions space, while also serving as a threshold and interface that opens toward other possibilities.
