Tam Wai Ping

Tam completed his postgraduate study with distinction at The Slade School of Fine Art in 1995. He is the founder and chairman of ArtMap and he serves as a BA Course Coordinator and Lecturer at the Hong Kong Art School.

Tam's works mainly concern the relationship between the activities of "individuality" and the perception of "Land". They are closely associated with each other, but constantly changing the fundamental nature to each other. His works have been exploring in the areas of "home and identity", "space and balance", "intersection of public and private sphere", and "reality and imagination". Based on the recent work of "Temple", Tam utilizes his works to investigate different settings and situations in suggesting different understandings in identity, people, history and reality.

Tam has participated in various exhibitions in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Sir Lanka, United Kingdom, France, USA.
