Zang Zong-Son
Zang Zong-Son (b. 1965) spent her childhood in Korea, graduated from Yonsei University and lived in Hong Kong, London and Singapore. Returning to Hong Kong in 2004, Zang's peripatetic nature of life in her earlier years ignited a yearning for a sense of belonging which she ultimately found in the world of painting. In 2007 she started to explore painting through overseas workshops in Europe and the United States. As a perceptual painter, she observes daily life scenes, everyday objects and people in her surrounding neighborhood and translates them into her own visual storytelling between the imagery and representation beneath the fragmented surfaces. Capturing the beauty of mundane objects and ordinary moments in life, Zang's abstract paintings encapsulate the subject's history along with her emotional and physical responses to them.
