gdm Hong Kong proudly presents Tang Kwong San: Rootstock, the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Using the bauhinia plant as the main motif, Rootstock approaches diasporic identity like a sterile plant that is grafted from intergenerational histories. Through graphite drawings, oil paintings, handmade objects, photography, and installation, Tang’s new work navigates between deconstruction and reconstruction, examining how the tissues of our identities are splintered and joined.
