Hiu Tung Lau (b. 1985, Hong Kong) graduated with an MFA in painting from The Royal College of Art, London and a BFA in painting from The School of Visual Arts, New York. Her works span across various media, including painting, sculpture, and performance. Through apparent simplicity and minimalist compositions, Lau attempts to convey the sea of complex human emotions. She explores themes such as gender, sexuality and identity. Her work can be regarded as a meditation on the process of painting, in which she explores experiences that had an emotional impact on her and inspired her to paint, whether it be a stranger she met, bushes along sidewalks, or the taste of kumquat.
Hiu Tung Lau has exhibited at Art Basel OVR, Hong Kong (2023); Alice Folker Gallery, Copenhagen (2023, 2022 and 2020); Flowers Gallery, Hong Kong (2022); Karin Weber Gallery, Hong Kong (2021); Fringe Club, Hong Kong (2019) and Dyson Gallery, London (2017).
