Tang Kwok Hin, a mixed media artist and independent curator, was born in 1983 and raised in Hong Kong. He received his Master of Fine Arts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2008 and Bachelor of Arts (major in Fine Arts) in 2006. He focuses on the occasion, space, time and way of encountering images or symbols to explore hidden rules in living and existing context for self-expression. In his view, art is about selecting or underscoring something in a complete sentence, to remove is to emphasize what remains. His artworks were shown in Hong Kong Museum of Art; Ice Palace, Miami, U.S.A.; Esplanade, Singapore; Singapore Art Museum; Venice Arsenale, Italy; Vargas Museum, Manila, Philippines, etc. He was awarded the first prize at Hong Kong Biennale 2009; selected by Sovereign Asian Art Prize 2010 and 2011; awarded the Special Award “Personal Exhibition” by the 5th International Arte Laguna Prize; awarded the Young Artist Award by Hong Kong Arts Development Awards 2010.
