rECHENG TSANG: LINES & CONVERSATIONS

For Lines & Conversations, ReCheng draws inspiration from textile design and from the work of Richard Tuttle, Leonor Antunes, and Louise Bourgeois. During the one-month residency at Local Language, ReCheng explored the dynamic relationship of lines. She is interested in the visual relationship and aesthetic qualities of these lines that also speak to a state of being that’s in flux, untethered, and in conflict. 

The exhibition is divided into two parts. The first part, titled Weightless, is a series of four prints on linen. The lines overlap, squeeze together, and float in mid-air. The second part, titled Vestige, features a series of printed images on porcelain panels and linen scrolls. 

In Lines & Conversations, ReCheng is presenting her two-dimensional work publicly for the first time. Drawing has always been an essential part of her studio practice and is in direct conversation with her wall installations and sculptural work in porcelain in this exhibition.
