Ling, Hong Kong woman artist focuses on experimental ink painting and collage, reconstructing biological images of cells and water into organic abstractions. Her work explores natural laws, biology, and the development of human society. Her choice of creative media extends beyond ink to include sculpture and installation.
Ling moved to Hong Kong in 1997. In 2012, she graduated in Fine Arts (BFA) from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, receiving the Wucius Wong Creative Ink Painting Award at graduation. Her solo exhibitions include It all begins in the Sea (2014) and Metamorphosis (2012). Joint exhibitions include Under • Line, Sydney Edition, Australia (2020) & Rotterdam edition, the Netherlandsthe (2019); artist residency project Stundum, Iceland (2018), Hong Kong’s Art Next Expo (2017). Alisan Fine Arts included her works in three group exhibitions: A Legacy of Ink: Lui Shou-Kwan 40 Years On (Hong Kong Arts Centre, 2015); and 3-Dimensional Ink (Alisan Fine Arts Aberdeen, 2017) and Women Ink | China Hong Kong (2019).
