MOVEMENT IN STILLNESS presents “Fold and Unfold”, the latest body of work by Hong Kong-born contemporary artist Nancy Tong. It merges a long artistic tradition of Chinese ink art with the science of folding, creating an intimate connection between generational love and timeless creativity. The exhibition showcases 16 artworks, including paintings, works on paper and installations.

In her first solo exhibition in her home town, Tong dialogues with her father through the body of work that ties her emotional personality to her father’s inspirational creativity. She brings together and breaks down various elements of her childhood memories and experiences to create a new synthetic dimension. Tong employs folded canvas, which holds the essence of invisible movement, and also performance, through which the viewer perceives the artist’s physical strength and mental act of making. She creates a spontaneous yet harmonic rhythm by converting folds into form and movement, creating her own geometric, sculptural work. Her work is a visual manifestation of emotion, perception and material merging as one to form an emotion-visuality symbiosis.
