CHAN Ting (she/they, b. 1993, Hong Kong) is an multidisciplinary artist working with sculpture, installation and sound.
CHAN’s works have exhibited and been collected both nationally and internationally including Hong Kong, BeJing, France, Singapore, Sweden and Switzerland. Her works are collected by Akeroyd Collection and Vancouver Art Gallery.
Her practice begins as conservation: discarded or rejected objects from public sites or domestic residences are salvaged and brought back to her studio for restoration. Drawing on her background as a hypnotherapist and energy healer, she then communes with these objects in a process of addition and subtraction that involves layers of plaster and pigment that are sanded and drilled away with heavy industrial tools.
Formally, her expanded paintings and sculptural objects engage directly with the artist’s environs. In hand-blending plasters, industrial pigments, and waxy oil pastels, she also folds in the air, smell, and temperature of places such as Hong Kong and its movements of people. This results in an image that is both a palimpsest and landscape portrait, at once a reference to the contemporary conditions of place and a psychological study of society, memory, migration, and change.
She considers herself a wanderer whose work is to explore the relationships among people, cities, and nature. Traversing the everyday and extraordinary elements of the city, the artist incorporates found objects and ready-made materials. Her practice explores the psychic fabric of contemporary imaging with found objects and materials, which often emerges from a stream of consciousness process with a particular focus on a poetic dialogue between image and sound.

Her practice focuses on researching the colour green, particularly its phenomenon during and after World War II, including its use in military contexts and its subsequent adaptations and applications in various parts of the world.
She has participated in artist residency at Para Site (HK), and Foo Tak Building from Art and Cultural Outreach (HK), being co-founder and artist-curator of the independent artist-run space Negative Space (2019–2022). She has been awarded grants from institutions in Hong Kong, including the Friends of the CUHK Art Museum Research Grant (2022) and Para Site’s NoExit Grant for Unpaid Artistic Labour (2020).
CHAN Ting received her Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts and Master's degree in Fine Arts (Art Creation) from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2019 and 2023.
陳庭是一位跨媒介藝術家，包括影像、雕塑、裝置及聲音藝術，也是一位旅行者。她關注人、城市與大自然之間的關係，她視城市漫遊，作為一種在日常地方進行非日常的旅程。她運用尋獲物與現成材料進行創作，其實踐常常以意識流的形式呈現，並著重於連結心理影像和聲音影像的視覺對話。
陳庭分別於2019年及2023年獲得香港中文大學藝術系學士學位，以及藝術碩士（藝術創作）。
她的作品在香港、加拿大、法國、新加坡、瑞典和瑞士等國家和地區展出並被收藏。她曾獲得多個機構的藝術家駐留計劃和資助，包括（香港）艺鵠 富德樓、（香港）Para Site和（香港）香港中文大學文物館。
