Wing Tung So is a contemporary artist whose playful articulations are often marked by the visual obscurity of vernacular and iconic façades. Working with painting and video, it is a translation of planes of multidimensionality: when surface moulds into space, painting reacts with video, when one medium consumes the other. Scenes of our contemporary city in flux take centre stage in Wing's practice, from an active engagement with landscapes that defy singular planes to ambiguous expanses conjured by mirrored reflections and transparencies in glass architecture. From optical plausibility to perspectival impossibility, she mediates the fluid relations between material and virtual spaces. 

The artist's exploration of postmodern architecture introduces a fantastical peculiarity to her colour palette. The modulation of colour originates from the façades of her homeland Hong Kong, yet there is a striking resonance to the 80s’ aesthetic and movement of pixelated screens. Capturing the rhapsody of colours, in fluorescent neon hues, raw primary tones, to soft pastels, the psychedelic ethereality lends to the deliberate disorientation and warped geometry.
