Tsang Chui Mei: Day Or Night at Karin Weber Gallery


  • 20 Aberdeen Street Central, Hong Kong Island Hong Kong SAR China (map)

Karin Weber Gallery is excited to announce Day Or Night, a presentation of new works by established Hong Kong painter Tsang Chui Mei, who continues her journey of fusing traditional Chinese painting principles with more 'Western' expressionist techniques to arrive at her distinct semi-abstract style.

The exploration of time and space in Tsang's works is already implied in the exhibition title Day Or Night (不日不月), an ancient Chinese expression rooted in Confucian philosophy, suggesting oblivion to the passage of time. For the artist, this applies to a time interpretation within her works–they are created within a particular time frame, with a yet to be determined life span–but also constitutes an invitation to the viewer to forget about the constraints of time and let their imagination roam freely.

The invitation to explore equally extends to meandering through space in Tsang's paintings. Flat surfaces and multiple perspectives draw directly from Chinese painting traditions and add an additional meditative component to the works. She observes, 'Forgetting our dimension through a depiction of the chaotic imagining of time and space lets our minds wander afar.'
