Frank Tang is an artist based in Hong Kong. He earned his BA in2010 and MFA in 2023 at Hong Kong Baptist University and Chinese University of Hong Kong respectively. He used a range of technologies and platforms in his projects, including ink painting, video, sound, and collaborative performance; yet his work is always informed by his interest and training in Chinese shanshui (landscape) painting. Tang’s practice is marked by his exploration into ways of integrating not only the traditional aesthetic language, but also the experiential and philosophical concerns of shanshui art into contemporary idioms. He attended artist-in-residence programs in Zurich University of the Arts in Switzerland (2014) , Treasure Hill Artist Village in Taiwan (2022) and Akiyoshidai International Art Village in Japan (2025).
Tang participated in many important exhibitions, including Ink City at JC Contemporary in Tai Kwun, Hong Kong (2021); Humor in Ink at Taoyuan Children’s Art Centre in Taiwan (2021); Hidden Forest at Asia Society Hong Kong (2019); A Taste of Hong Kong at Les Halles de Schaerbeek in Belgium (2016); and China 8 – Tradition Today – Ink Painting and Calligraphy at Kunstmuseum Gelsenkirchen in Germany (2015).
His recent solo exhibitions include The Shape of Monuments (Absolute Space for the Arts, Taiwan, 2024); Whispering Canopies (Hong Kong, 2023); You Are Here (Hong Kong, 2022); While I was away (Hong Kong, 2017). His artworks show in museums, art organizations, and galleries in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
