Trevor Yeung uses botanic ecology, horticulture, aquarium system and installations as metaphors that reference the emancipation of everyday aspirations towards human relationships. Yeung draws inspiration from intimate and personal experiences, culminating in works that range from image-based works to large-scale installations. He creates different scales of systems which explore the logic that govern our social structures.
Yeung represented Hong Kong in the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024, and his return exhibition was staged at M+ in Hong Kong in 2025. Yeung’s other recent institutional solo exhibitions took place at Kestner Gesellschaft (Hanover, 2025), Aranya Art Center (Beidaihe, 2024), Para Site (Hong Kong, 2024), and Gasworks (London, 2023). His forthcoming solo exhibition will be shown at CAPC Musée d’art Contemporain de Bordeaux in April 2026. His other exhibitions at institutions and biennales include Hong Kong Museum of Art (2025), Lahore Biennale (Lahore, 2024), Kunsthal Aarhus (Aarhus, 2024), Biennale of Sydney (2024), M+ (Hong Kong, 2023), Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris (2022), Kathmandu Triennale (2022), Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong, 2022), Jameel Arts Center (Dubai, 2022), Singapore Biennale (2022), Shanghai Power Station of Art (2021), Stiftung Skulpturenpark Köln (Cologne, 2020), La Biennale de Lyon (2019), among others.
