Zang Zong-Son
Zang Zong-Son (b. 1965, Korea) is a Hong Kong–based perceptual painter who transforms everyday observations from her Stanley beach village into semi-abstract visual narratives rich with emotional geography. A Yonsei University graduate who lived across Seoul, London, Singapore, and Hong Kong since 2004, Zang began painting in 2007, honing her intuitive layering of acrylics, gouache, and charcoal. Her works—capturing mundane motifs like flowers, typhoon paths, and café corners—distill fragmented histories and personal responses.
