ALPHA TAM TAK HEI

Born in 1996, TAM Tak-hei graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University and studied jewellery and metalsmithing in an exchange program in the US. Metalsmithing and jewellery making are TAM's main art practice. He is interested in spatial relationship and particularly objects that can change the perception of our surroundings. Tam's work thus focuses on space and architectural forms. Instead of creating large scale sculpture, he adores "miniature sculptor" which captures the essence of forms in the most intimate setting. The artist's works have been exhibited in art spaces in Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia. He is the recipient of Baptist University's Academy of Visual Arts(AVA) Award and the Gaffa Award for Excellence in Contemporary Jewellery.
