Metamorphosis II
Ink on Paper. 6″ x 4.5″. 2024.
Metamorphosis II is one of the newest 2024 collections from the artist’s studio that is a development of Metamorphosis I. Inspired by her iconic Chinese ink painting collection, this collection sees the greatest evolution of shape, design, expression, approach to art making and use of ink. Her compositions are more dynamic, playful, expressive and this more contemporary approach to her style sees an evolution in her artistic vision, style and creative expressions. This collection of work focuses on energies of the elements of the earth. There is a seamless and interactive flow of the earth elements of the mountains, the wind, ocean and sky energies. They are depicted to be working harmoniously together in their existence.

“This reinvention of my artistic style is very, very different from my original style, but that is what evolution is about. I kept the repeating motifs of the the mountains, ocean and sky, because they are important elements in my work. They represent the natural elements that are contrastingly different from each other, but still exist in harmony.”
– Nicole Tang
“This was the first time in a long time that I dedicated a collection to creating and not destroying such as in Metamorphosis I and Reinvention, where I destroyed my collections as part of the process to create new collections of work. There must be something different in the 2024 air this time around!”
