Lam Tung Pang (b. 1978, Hong Kong)’s artistic practice encompasses painting, drawing, performance, video, and installation. Assembling traditional iconography and found objects, Lam creates layered allegorical landscapes that engage themes of history, memory, and time. These works capture the nuanced emotions that seep out from beneath the weight of drastic socio-political change. Lam currently lives and works in Hong Kong and Vancouver.
Lam received his BFA from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and his MFA from Central Saint Martins in London. He is the recipient of the Asian Cultural Council Fellowship in 2012. His works are collected by many important institutions internationally, including the San Francisco Asian Art Museum, United States; Hong Kong Museum of Art; M+ Museum, Hong Kong, among others. The Legislative Council of Hong Kong has commissioned Lam to create an iconic, monumental work "Centuries of Hong Kong" for its complex.
Key exhibitions include "Beyond the Mountain" (Seattle Asian Art Museum, United States, 2022-2023); “Half-Step House” (Hong Kong House, Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale, Japan, 2021); “Memento” (Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, United States, 2021); “Saan Dung Gei” (Blindspot Gallery, Hong Kong, 2019); “Hi! House – Lam Tung Pang x Old House” (Wong Uk Village, Hong Kong, 2017); “Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism \ Architecture” (Shenzhen, China, 2017); “CHINA 8” (NRW-Forum Düsseldorf, Germany, 2015); "Play" (Espace Louis Vuitton, Hong Kong, 2014); “The Curiosity Box” (Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco, United States, 2013); “One-Two-World” (Public Installation Presented by Galerie du Monde, Art Basel Hong Kong, 2013); “No Soul for Sale” (Tate Modern, London, United Kingdom, 2010).
