Epoxy Art Group
Epoxy Art Group was a group of six Hong Kong native artists who were based in New York City. This group consisted of the artists Ming Fay, Jerry Kwan, Kwok Mang Ho, Bing Lee, Kang Lok Chung, and Eric Chan. Exalting the values of collaboration, they chose to use the name “Epoxy”, which derives from epoxy resin, a binding agent, to symbolize an innate bond they felt through their similar backgrounds and the idea that they could create better art together than by themselves, thus subverting notions of individualistic studio practices. They were able to establish opportunities together that they would not have own their own as it was a disadvantage to be an Asian-American artist. Their art focused on concepts of social and political commentary and they used a variety of medium including mixed-media, photocopied images, sound installation and projection in order to convey these themes. Typically, they would meet at Kwok Gallery, which served as their base.
