(b. 1999, Malaysia; lives and works in London)

Ang‘s work is largely concerned with the sociality of architecture, the demarcation of public space and the minutiae of living. What features frequently in their work is the motif of enveloping soft body cushions and mattresses - suggestive of the home, or even, the hospital.

Using the technique of trompe l'oeil as a rhetorical strategy, Ang complicates the conventional viewership of painting as a spectacle of luxury. Paintings function as theatre backdrops; sculptures. They often work from found imagery that is then subject to a cyclical process of digital manipulation, printing, soaking and scanning.

In their body of work, ‘Sites’, they investigate the role antisocial architecture plays in the demarcation of public space and its relation to the state. Through the portrayal of this ‘metaphorical furniture’, these lyrical interactions between building facades and disintegrating objects serve as existential portraits.
