Tang Yeok Khang explores the conditions of human beings, natural and manmade environment co-existing in present reality. The montage of a natural landscape, and a child on a swing, enhances the sense of surreal and mystery. The exquisite use of colours, in deep blue and green hues, rich layers of textures and paint, combination of figure, leads to a striking composition.
After graduating from the Malaysian Institute of Art with a diploma in Interior Design, Tang dabbled into illustrations, and worked for a while as a freelancer, before establishing his own landscape design firm. He became a full-time artist in 2010. His artworks are collected by a few respected institutions, namely National Art Gallery Malaysia, Galeri Petronas, Penang State Art Gallery, Malayan Banking Berhad and United Overseas Bank. Besides, he is exploring new possibilities to use art to promote public interest and welfare in local communities, for instance through Sasaran International Arts Festival, 101 Lost Kittens street art project and some special events in local and overseas universities. He held his 5th solo exhibition entitled Moment at Galeri Seni Mutiara, Penang.
