Alyssa Tang
Canada · Born 1996
Alyssa Tang (Canada, 1996) is a multi-disciplinary designer, architect and artist. Primarily using charcoal and oil paint, Tang explores the human figure as her central motif, investigating the potential of abstracting and distorting the body. Her art delves into the materiality of flesh, muscle, and skin, capturing intricate textures and forms that convey profound emotive and expressive qualities, even in the absence of defined faces. This anonymity invites viewers into a more universal and introspective engagement with her work.
Working in oil and charcoal on canvas and linen, she holds the body in states of restraint, proportion, and psychological tension — works such as Bound, Scale, and Race reducing the figure to something elemental and quietly universal.
