  • Instructor

    Born in 1991, Based in Hong Kong.

    Angela Yuen graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University in 2014. She went to Linfiled College in the U.S. for an exchange program in 2013 to develop her installation art and received the Dean’s List Honours. In 2016, she had her artist in residency at Red Gate Gallery, Beijing. In 2019, she was the finalist at Sovereign Asian Art Prize. In 2021, she was the finalist at 26th Ifva awards (Media Art Category).

    Angela Yuen’s art practice focuses on urban culture and the theme “Neighbourhood”. Yuen highlights the symbolic meaning of her selected found objects and transforms them into her own artistic language. Under rapid urban development, Hong Kong people experience ever-evolving physical and social environment. Through collecting manufactured objects, Yuen rediscovers the human warmth she was once used to as a child growing up in this city. “Neighbourhood” is not only a theme of her practice, but also deeply embedded in her creative process.

    Her works have been shown in Hong Kong, Macau, Beijing and Australia ; collected by Hotel Stage Hong Kong, IFC Isola, LRC Hong Kong, The Middle House Shang Hai, Niagara Gallery Australia, and private collections.
