Christine Tsang’s painting of eerie scenes and characters beckon the viewer to go inward. Her work sets a scenario together with a story with a painterly interest in colour and pictorial construction. Drawn to the strangeness and sentimentality of daily trivia, she combines her personal experiences, photos, literature and observations of life to explore the definitions of love, subtly shuffling between intimate emotions and alienation.

From fluid to thick, her brushstrokes are layered with under paint and varnish causing tension between the images and marks that are blended within indistinct stories. These disjointed relationships are portrayed in a grotesque composition. Christine creates a detached space in her paintings, which she shares with the viewer where tenderness could be found in the disorder.

Christine Tsang (b. 2000 ) recently received her Bachelor of Arts from the Academy of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University.
