Very delighted to be featured in Artists on View in the Spring 2026 edition of Irish Arts Review @irisharts_review , sharing an insight into my practice.
Introducing Kwok Tsui @kl.tsui , supported by The Leverhulme Arts Scholarship and Chelsea Arts Club Trust MA Materials and Research Award. Originally from Hong Kong, now based in Belfast and London.
Kwok’s practice is an autobiographical exploration of his experience as an immigrant, examining themes of displacement and diasporic existence through painting.
Working primarily through subtraction, paint is removed from the surface to reveal light and form, creating shadows within; an order and tension between presence and absence, belonging and disconnection. This push and pull opens a contemplative ‘in-between’ space that feels otherworldly yet safe. The muted, largely monochromatic surfaces are built from thin layers of paint, exposing traces of previous iterations and identities. Lines repeat across the surface in a unified horizontal direction, shaped by deliberately controlled brushstrokes. These linear rhythms hold a quiet vibration.
Kwok has previously held institutional solo exhibitions at CCA, Derry~Londonderry, titled Deferral | Echo, and at the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin, titled Border | Sky. His work is also part of the permanent collection of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
