Equinox Gallery presents Angela Teng: Colourwork, a solo exhibition of paintings for the Pacific Gallery at the Fairmont Pacific Rim.

Teng (b. 1979) has been acknowledged nationwide for her experimentation with the medium of paint, particularly her works made by crocheting paint strings. After squeezing and drying lengths of different coloured paints into thin strips that approximate yarn, Teng uses a single hook to crochet the paint into rectangular and square compositions. Her works elicit a broad range of references, from the colourful, commonplace Afghan throw to the geometric abstraction of high modernism, all while implicating the artistic labour of women that has typically earned the distinction of “craft” rather than “art”.
