Leung Mee Ping


 

Leung Mee Ping is a Hong Kong based artist. Having studied in France and America before returning to Hong Kong to obtain her Ph.D, she has dedicated herself to art and local cultural studies. Her profound conceptual perspectives originate mainly from daily culture, which she expresses though creative mediums that include installation, mixed-media, public art and community art. Using research-based practices of experimental interaction and integration, her works incorporate elements and platforms of theatre, design, commercial space and social space in order to extend performance and action. Her works can be seen as issue-based creativity, and are concerned with ethics, community, and replicating observations of the human state of living and being. These subjects are closely intertwined with Leung Mee Ping’s research theory area of visual culture and globalization. She is currently Assistant Professor of the Academy of Visual Arts at the Hong Kong Baptist University.
