Personal Scripture —— The Unexpected Collisions in Clay : Huang Gang & Sami Tsang
2024.08.11 – 2024.09.11
Press Release
AYE Gallery is pleased to present “Personal Scripture”, a joint exhibition of artists Huang Gang and Sami Tsang from August 11th to September 11th, 2024. The title’ Personal Scripture’ is a reflection of the deeply personal and cultural themes explored by the artists in their works. This will be the first time that both artists exhibit at AYE Gallery.
The exhibition’s theme, “Personal Scripture,” delves into the adage, “Every family has its own hardships.” Sami, who comes from a cross-cultural, inter-generational household, stacked paint and ceramic tiles to create shaman figurines that encapsulate the challenges faced in her journey to womanhood. Growing up in a cultural family in Beijing, Huang Gang has connected his knowledge of collecting Chinese antiques with his artistic creation, forming a unique visual language of symbols that is a testament to his cultural heritage and creative prowess. The re-conceptualization of the material itself has led the two artists to explore the visual realm beyond paint and ceramics. They examine the relationship between matter and time, humans and nature, as well as the interplay between chance and necessity in creation. “Personal Scripture” stands as a poignant reflection on the memories of two Chinese artists in disparate cultural milieus and epochs.
