Contemporary by Angela Li is proud to present solo exhibition of Cheung Tsz Hin, "moments in layered motion", featuring his recent works created in the last year. Cheung's paintings breathe life into a range of subjects drawn from everyday exitence, such as plants, children, and pillows. Each subject is meticulously crafted, reflecting the artist's accumulated sensations and thoughts. According to Cheung, his artwork focuses the energy on diverse emotions from the inner states of mind.

Cheung Tsz Hin's instinctive and sensory-driven approach to colour captures floating light and plundering shadows. He adeptly captures the evanescent beauty of everyday moments that often arise and vanish quickly. The interplay of colours and lines is iconic in Cheung's style, and the portrayal of light and shadow reflects his personal touch. These elements display his unique perceptions and experiences. Cheung's use of colors and his skillful capture of sunlight demonstrates his sensitivity to the ephemeral beauty of nature. Guided by nimble strokes, these elements flow with fluidity, appearing as spirited lines and mellowing colours—like fleeting snapshots of moments from the artist's life.

She excels at distancing herself from conventional perspectives, carefully observing the minutiae of life, and infusing her unique awareness into her paintings, resulting in her instantly recognisable and distinctive style.

Contemporary by Angela Li is proud to present the solo exhibition of Cheung Tsz Hin shivering glow, I shiver and glow, featuring his recent works created in the last year. Through the lens of the artist, layers of feelings embedded within plants and seeds unravel and rise upon the surface when exposed to the warmth of sunlight, flourishing onto his canvases. The exhibition opening will be held on Thursday 18 May, 2023 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, and will remain on view until 24 June, 2023.

Growing up in the New Territories, Cheung lived within a rural restricted area in Hong Kong near the border with the mainland. He spent most of his childhood in the greenery of nature, away from the typical urban life. Surrounded by the woods, he was always alone and enjoyed observing the movements of trees as well as taking care of his plants at home. As Cheung’s artistic career began to take off in recent years, so did his ways of living. From a primitive, leaky rooftop studio to a relatively proper place where he currently works  in Fotan, the drastic changes in lifestyle has resulted in moments of melancholia, thus Cheung expressed through episodes of exploration between light and shadow, echoing his innermost feelings. They are then depicted through the laxness yet predominate arrangements of colours which help to strengthen the viewer’s visual experience.

Love is in the air, it makes the mortal world more attractive than the eternity of heaven. Kwong is inspired greatly by his daily life, especially the warmth from his family.

Contemporary by Angela Li is proud to present Midnight Sun, solo exhibition of Hong Kong artist Tang Kwong San, curated by Jims Lam. Tang often deploys flash photography at night as part of his creative process. To him, exposing light on mundane objects that can be found along streets, such as trees and small creatures, is a means of isolating subject matter from the darkness. A flash takes only a split second, but recreating these subjects on canvas is a lengthy process. This allows Tang to retreat to his internal dialogue between gazing at night, which is intuitive, and his impulse to create harmonic scenery. Anentirely new body of works showcased in this exhibition is a series of figurative paintings that takes on the human form with collages woven together with urban trees and fashion garments, whilst the trunks metaphorically represent the human body. The notion of concealing an organic body in camouflage acts as the artist’s central motif. While Tang casts a sharp eye onto how nature’s resources can be reduced to consumer products, he visualizes how they slip into daily life and crystallizes into our desire for nature.

The exhibition opening will be held on Thursday 15th September, 2022 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, and will remain on view until 29 October, 2022. The artist and curator will be present at the opening.

The "Anywhere Door" is a famous magical gadget hailing from the popular TV series Doraemon, it enables travel between any realm of imagination. Similarly, the creative process parallels the motion of opening the “Anywhere Door”; allowing the psyche to drift, as it enters a world of abstraction where thoughts and imagination fly — after all anything, and everything can serve as inspiration to galvanise one's creativity. For recent art school graduates that just made their debut, one can say they have made their first step into the “Anywhere Door” of infinite possibility — launching an enriching career intertwined with fantasy and reality.

Contemporary by Angela Li is proud to present The Quarantine Era, solo exhibition of London-based Chinese pop artist Jacky Tsai. Tsai is renowned for his interplay of Chinese and Western cultures in his works and his artistic practice is a hybrid of principles from both the East and West. In his new body of works, he employs an integrated perspective of mixing of ideologies into responding to the global pandemic. The exhibition’s opening will be held on the 13th of November from 2 to 6 p.m. in conjunction with Central West Hong Kong, and will remain on view till 18th of December 2021.  

Tsai uses various traditional Chinese techniques, such as porcelain, Suzhou embroidery, lacquer carving and hand-crafted screen prints in his works that are presented with a contemporary Western touch. This gives his works a unique narrative that describes the tension between the cultural clashes of the Eastern and Western worlds, between the classical and the contemporary. Tsai’s creative renditions allow him to explore contemporary issues in a playful and satirical manner. In addition to Tsai’s use of the pop art style, the artist is also deeply vested in Chinese artistry and aspires to preserve the centuries-old Chinese craftsmanship through nuancing them into his artistic expression.
