About Artist
Jay Tang
Jay Tang (born 1981) is a Dutch artist, born to Hong Kong Chinese parents, whose upbringing blends traditional Chinese values with the pragmatic Dutch ethos. This duality shapes both his identity and artistic expression, with themes of 'Identity' and 'Legacy' gaining prominence, especially as a father of three. In 2012, Tang enrolled in the Photographic Design program at the University of Applied Photography in Amsterdam, graduating with honors in 2015. His project 'Son, this is your home' earned him the second prize at the Keep an Eye Fotovakschool Grant 2015, presented by the Keep an Eye Foundation, which supports emerging talents in the creative sector. Following graduation, Tang focused on the 'Everyday Landscapes' series, crafting abstract photographs using ordinary materials like paper, tissues, and plastic bags. This series, inspired by his heritage, has been exhibited globally, including cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Chicago, and Hong Kong. In 2020, he collaborated with Anita Neve Galerie for his first solo exhibition. Beyond his projects, Tang actively contributes to the local art scene, participating in festivals like Noordwaarts and Open Ateliers Amsterdam Noord. His involvement underscores his commitment to fostering artistic communities and exploring themes of cultural identity and legacy through impactful work.
