Zang Zong-Son

ZS-239 2.JPG

Zang Zong-Son (b. 1965) was born in Korea and graduated from Yonsei University and lived in London, Singapore, and Seoul. Based in Hong Kong since 2004, Zang’s nomadic way of living 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 the medium of painting through overseas painting workshops in Europe and the United States. As a perceptual painter, she observes daily life scenes, objects, people, and locations in her neighborhood, and translates them into abstract still-life paintings. She deconstructs the subjects by searching for the perspective where light and unique aura are radiating, in both literal and metaphorical manner, and asks the viewers to look between the imagery and representation beneath the fragmented surfaces.  She believes that the mundane objects or close friends, such ordinary yet beautiful events of life radiate unique aura and luminescence; and thus, Zang’s abstract landscape paintings and portrait works encapsulate its history and her emotional and physical response to it.
