Hiu Tung Lau  (b. 1985, Hong Kong) lives and works in London. Her works span across various media including painting, sculpture, and performance. Through apparent simplicity and minimalist compositions, Lau attempts to convey the sea of complex human emotions. Her work can be regarded as a meditation over the process of painting where she explores experiences that had an emotional impact on her and inspired her to paint, whether it be a stranger she met, bushes from sidewalks, or the taste of kumquat.

Hiu Tung Lau received her BFA in Painting from the School of Visual Arts, New York, in 2009 and her MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London, in 2017. Her recent solo exhibitions include: Double End Lobster Claw, Tabula Rasa Gallery (London, 2024); Let the mud settle, Alice Folker  Gallery (Copenhagen, 2024); I am in training, don’t kiss me, Flowers Gallery (Hong Kong, 2022); A cow’s head and a horse’s Jaw, Karin Weber Gallery (duo exhibition, Hong Kong, 2021); Don’t forget to look at the moon, Alice Folker Gallery (Copenhagen, 2020); It’s ok to crop the sky, Alice Folker Gallery (Copenhagen, 2018).
