🌟 In line with the upcoming exhibition, “Out of This World,” we would like to introduce Lam Tung Pang (), whose thought-provoking works will be featured in the Gallery starting October 24th!
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Lam’s artistic practice encompasses painting, drawing, performance, video, and installation. Assembling traditional iconography and found objects, he creates layered allegorical landscapes that engage themes of history, memory, and time. These works capture the nuanced emotions that seep out from beneath the weight of drastic socio-political change. Lam received his BFA from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and his MFA from Central Saint Martins in London. He also received the Asian Cultural Council Fellowship in 2012. In 2012, he was awarded the Outstanding Contributions to the development of culture and arts by the Secretary for Home Affairs, Hong Kong.
In “Out of this World”, Lam’s first solo exhibition in Canada, his expansive exhibition layers drawings, paintings, slide projections, and video to transform the gallery into shifting fields of light and shadow, embodying a playful yet poetic style. The immersive, site-specific installation combines empty domestic interiors—staircases, rooms, windows, furniture—with clips of iconic Canadian landscapes filmed during a road trip and the unbound vastness of outer space. A vital part of his artistic vocabulary, Lam’s landscapes serve as visual metaphors for the many layers that shape one’s sense of place, from personal memories to national narratives. The collision of inner and outer worlds captures Lam’s own shifting artistic imaginary, inviting visitors to recall their own movement between the comfort of familiarity and the freedom of the unknown. “Out of This World” is both spatial and temporal in thrust: a cosmos of precarious dwellings and drifting landscapes, illuminated by the flicker of shifting eras, where analog warmth and digital immediacy coexist in uneasy suspension, gently unsettling the sense of the present.
