Chan Ting ( She / They, b. 1993, Hong Kong ) is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture, installation, sound, performance and video.
Her works have exhibited and been collected both nationally and internationally including Hong Kong, Canada, China, France, Germany, Singapore, Sweden and Switzerland. Her pieces are held in the Akeroyd Collection (HK), Hong Kong Art Continuum Hong Kong (HK), Vancouver Art Gallery (CA) , among others.
Chan Ting’s ongoing chromatic research investigates the phenomenon of "Green" as a complex socio-political signifier within the urban fabric of Hong Kong and wider Asia. She interrogates a striking contradiction. On one hand, green is the color of combat and slaughter, a lingering ghost of military surplus. On the other, it is nature’s primary camouflage. By tracing its evolution from the battlefield to the mundane infrastructure of the contemporary city, she explores how the colour of green can function as a skin for contemporary existence.
Her found-object sculptures are direct manifestations of this green skin. For Chan, this practice acts as a living, synthetic epidermis that creeps over contemporary living to organize the inorganic. It mimics the silent growth and infiltration of moss. This is an operation of rhizomes, a spreading network of queer vitality.
She was co-founder and artist-curator of the independent artist-run space Negative Space (2019–2022).

陳庭 是一位跨媒介藝術家，創作範疇涵蓋繪畫、雕塑、裝置、聲音、行為及錄像藝術。
她的作品曾在香港、加拿大、中國、法國、德國、新加坡、瑞典、瑞士等地展出或被收藏，作品納入 Akeroyd Collection (香港) 、Hong Kong Art Continuum Hong Kong (香港)、溫哥華美術館 (加拿大) 館藏 等等。
陳庭 持續進行「綠色」的色彩研究，探究「綠色」作為一種複雜社會政治符號，如何在香港乃至亞洲的城市紋理中運作。她正在審視一個極其深刻的矛盾：綠色是殺戮與戰爭的色澤，是軍事過剩物資中徘徊不去的幽靈；它又是大自然最基礎的保護色。透過追溯這抹色彩從戰場演變至當代城市建築、公共設施乃至於日常的歷程，她探尋綠色作為一種皮膚，包裹著當代的生存狀態。
她的尋獲物雕塑正是這種「綠色皮膚」的直接體現。這種實踐宛如一層活生生的合成表皮，蔓延在當代生活之上，重組那些無機的事物。它模擬著青苔的悄然生長與滲透。這是一場根莖式的運作，網絡般蔓延的酷兒生命力。
