Vancouver-based multidisciplinary artist Brendan Lee Satish Tang amalgamates diverse mediums and cultural motifs to create hybrid works of sculpture, paintings, and drawings. Born in Dublin to Trinidadian parents of mixed-Asian descent, before relocating to Canada in his teens, Tang’s work reflects on his own intercontinental upbringing and his global experience of diaspora. Tang is widely celebrated for his Manga Ormolu series, a collection of ceramic works that reinterpret the traditional Ming dynasty vase through a contemporary lens, incorporating robotic and technological imagery drawn from manga, anime, video games, and other forms of visual pop culture. Fusing aesthetic influences from disparate cultural traditions in a nod to his own ambiguous cultural identity, Tang’s playfully inventive creations also speak more broadly to issues of race, class, sexuality, and the hybridization of cultures.
