Lam Tung Pang
-
Lam Tung Pang uses both traditional and non-traditional Chinese ink techniques and materials for his landscapes, referencing notions of collective memory that relate to specific sites. Lam's coming-of-age coincided with drastic social changes, a result of his homeland’s decolonization from constitutional monarchy and new allegiance to China in a short span of time. Traversing between the media of painting, site-specific installation, sound and video, Lam’s playful practice arises from a curious imagination that recombines traditional iconography and vernacular materials, innovating with a myriad of found objects and images to form new practices that are often experimental in nature. Lam’s works engage the themes of collective memories and fleeting nostalgia, which articulate an ongoing negotiation of the overlapping city-state’s reality. In his allegorical landscapes, journeys and sceneries become essential passages connecting time and distance, longing and loss.
