Marian Ang is a contemporary painter born in London and based in Hong Kong.

A graduate of the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, Marian is an art historian by training and a former consultant for UNESCO in the field of cultural heritage protection. Exploring material culture in contemporary life is the starting point for Marian’s practice. The idea of an ordinary object holding extraordinary meaning first piqued her curiosity as a child, when she encountered the piles of random objects that her father had meticulously hoarded. Combining the symbolism of traditional Western still life and interior genre painting with precious cultural objects and banal everyday paraphernalia, Marian brings together an eclectic range of stories about the world and our lived experiences today. Her most recent exhibitions include "A Room of One's Own" at Touch Gallery (2023), named after the 1929 essay by the English writer Virginia Woolf and inspired by the personal spaces that great women artists carved out for themselves, and “Lucky You” (2024) which examines the notion of “Chineseness” through classical imperial Chinese porcelain wares and everyday diasporic motifs that grew out of feng shui beliefs, superstitions, and intergenerational wishes for luck and fortune.

汪慧華是一位出生於倫敦、現居香港的當代畫家。

汪氏畢業於倫敦大學科陶德藝術學院，是一位受過訓練的藝術史學家，曾任聯合國教科文組織文化遺產保護領域顧問。探索當代生活中的物質文化是瑪麗安實踐的出發點。當她還是個孩子的時候，當她遇到父親精心收藏的成堆的隨機物品時，「一件普通的物品卻蘊含著非凡的意義」的想法第一次激發了她的好奇心。汪氏將傳統西方靜物畫和室內風俗畫的象徵意義與珍貴的文物和平庸的日常用品相結合，匯集了一系列關於世界和我們今天的生活經歷的不拘一格的故事。她最近的展覽包括在Touch Gallery 舉辦的“一個人的房間”（2023 年），該展覽以英國作家弗吉尼亞·伍爾夫1929 年的文章命名，靈感來自偉大女性藝術家為自己開闢的個人空間，以及《Lucky You》（2024）透過中國古典皇家瓷器和源自風水信仰、迷信和世代對幸運和財富的願望的日常流散圖案來審視「中國性」的概念。
