TANG Kwong San is known for his mixed media work combining elements including photographic images, line drawings, pre-existing objects and videos. The artist explores his identity and personal memories through his work and integrates into it related historical elements. Surrounding the theme of night and darkness, his new series plays with the symbolic meanings of the five-pointed star. Through appropriation and reinterpretation of international films and historical documents as well as capturing late-night street scenes that caught his attention, he touches on the topics of identity, power and migration in his oil paintings, graphite drawings and installations.
