Experience a visual dialogue on nature and spirituality at art exhibition Sunken Gold · Drifting White, featuring Jin Tang’s thunder-struck landscapes and Li-Chung Chen’s serene, minimalist abstractions.
May 21 – June 13, 2026 (By Appointment Only)
This May, the duo exhibition “Sunken Gold · Drifting White” will open in Richmond, showcasing the new works of contemporary artists Jin Tang and Li-Chung Chen. The exhibition invites viewers into a contemplative space where the physical traces of nature meet the minimalist pursuit of spiritual clarity.
The Concept: A Dialogue of Resilience and Serenity
“Sunken Gold” (沉金) refers to the deep, metallic, and grounded energy found in Jin Tang’s textured landscapes, while “Drifting White” (浮白) captures the ethereal, minimalist breathing room within Li-Chung Chen’s monochromatic compositions. Together, they explore the boundary between objective reality and the “inner landscape.”
Jin Tang: A Vancouver-based artist with over 40 years of experience. His acclaimed “Thunder-Struck Landscapes” series finds inspiration in the lightning-scarred trees of Vancouver’s Pacific Spirit Regional Park. By merging Western oil and mixed-media techniques with Eastern spatial rhythms, Tang transforms nature’s destruction into a powerful visual language of renewal and resilience.
Li-Chung Chen: An M.F.A. graduate from Kaohsiung Normal University and a dedicated art educator. Chen’s current practice “White in Quiet Drift” utilizes a monochromatic vocabulary of ink and white acrylic. His process involves repetitive layering and erasing, which is a meditative act that reduces the “clutter” of the mind into a serene, minimalist realm where branches and mountains emerge.
The exhibition will be held at Lipont Gallery and is available for viewing by appointment only.
