The practice of Trevor Yeung (b. 1988, Dongguan, China) consistently excavates the inner logics of closed systems and the way in which such systems contain and create emotional and behavioural conditions. In his mixed-media works, carefully staged objects, animals, and plants function as aesthetic pretexts which delicately and ironically address notions of artificiality and the processes of human relations.
Yeung has participated in biennials and exhibitions including ‘KölnSkulptur #10: Natural Takeover'( Skulpturenpark Köln, Cologne, Germany, 2020); the 2019 Lyon Biennale (Lyon, France, 2019); the 38th EVA International Biennale (Limerick, Ireland, 2018); the 4th Dhaka Art Summit (Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2018); ‘The Other Face of the Moon’ (Asia Culture Center, Gwangju, South Korea, 2017); ‘Soil and Stones, Souls and Songs’ (Para Site, Hong Kong, 2017); ‘Seal Pearl White Cloud’ (4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, Australia, 2016); and the 10th Shanghai Biennale (China, 2014).
Trevor Yeung lives and works in Hong Kong.
