Ernest Chang is a Chinese-American multidisciplinary artist with deuteranopia (red-green color-blindness). Chang was born in Tampa, Florida and moved to Hong Kong when he was young where he has been based since. He studied photography briefly at Ringling College of Art and Design in Florida and Savannah College of Art and Design in Hong Kong before dedicating himself to his artistic practice full-time. Chang’s work often utilizes innovative visual media, digital platforms, futuristic compositional elements, as well as heightened color contrasts and contours. His works investigate the under-examined societal tensions in contemporary city life and consumerism, in which technology is becoming ever more personal and interpersonal.

Chang has been featured in solo exhibitions at venues such as the Hong Kong Affordable Art Fair (2015), the Hong Kong Correspondent’s Club (2016), Harley-Davidson of Hong Kong (2017), KONG Art Space (2018) and Ethos (2019); with group exhibitions at The Stallery (2019-2020), Hong Kong Arts Collective (2019), Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre (2019) and Detour at PMQ (2020) alongside prominent local and international artists. Most notably in September 2016, his exhibition of fine art photographs taken inside the original Blue House before its renovations began gained wide acclaim. In 2018, his series ‘Tear & Consume: An Art Experiment’ pioneered the first exhibition in Hong Kong where you can touch and destroy his paintings.
