REBECCA TANG - Paper Arts Summer Show

About

Rebecca tang’s  artistic journey began at the age of six when she picked up a pencil to 
draw flowers, portraits and animals.  Now, the inspiration 
for her artwork comes from the beauty of reusing  unwanted 
materials and giving them a new life.

In this particular series Rebecca Tang recycles cardboard 
boxes, toilet rolls, newspaper, index papers and paper bags 
to make artwork, canvas and frames.

In the process of creating her artwork, she moves between 
ideas with Papier-mâché, origami, mosaic and illustration. 
Making picture frames from cardboard boxes is also one 
of the ideas she likes. Playing with colours and textures, 
she assembles Papier-mâché, cardboard boxes and coats 
them with emulsion paints. Portraits, flowers and canvas
are varnished as a final finishing touch.

Rebecca Tang is a Hong Kong born artist based in London 
and this is her first solo show.
