작품 상세

The artist presents a homage to Russian Avant Garde artist Kazimir Malevich's suprematist Black Square (1915), which has liberated art from the classical functions of representation and mimesis, concentrating purely on the relations of line, shapes and colours. Tang Tuck Kan's paintings were influenced by the Hard-Edge movement that had become popular in the US during the 1960s. The movement was characterised by geometric sections of flat solid colour and clean separation between edges of the forms. Tang Tuck Kan displays his appreciation of form and its spatial relations synthesised into a dynamic expression. Tang Tuck Kan had studied Fine Art in the UK after he was awarded the British Commonwealth Fulbright Scholarship. In 1966, Tang graduated from the prestigious St. Martin's School of Art in London, UK.
