Sarah Lai

Born in 1983, Lai lives and works in Hong Kong. She has explored to translate various unique textures into different forms and media. The subjects in her paintings and installations are seemingly banal and mundane, however, she carefully depicts the power, politics and historical narratives behind these ordinary objects. Lai’s recent exhibitions include “Interval in Space”, Osage Art Foundation, Hong Kong (2017); “Let the night breeze send away yesterday’s dreams”, Surplus Space, Wuhan, China (2017); “Against the Light: Sampling in Two Cities”, FY Foundation, Shenzhen, China (2017); “In Stasis”, Para Site at Art Basel Hong Kong, Hong Kong (2015) and “Spotting the Light onto a Light”, Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong (2013). Her work is in the collection of Hong Kong Museum of Art.
