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 a Collateral Event at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024, and his return exhibition will be staged at M+ in Hong Kong in June 2025. He was previously shortlisted for the Sigg Prize 2023 and Future Generation Art Prize 2021. Yeung had a touring solo exhibition that travelled to Gasworks (London, 2023), Para Site (Hong Kong, 2024) and Aranya Art Center (Beidaihe, 2024). He also exhibited in institutions and biennales, including Hong Kong Museum of Art (Hong Kong, 2025), Lahore Biennale (Lahore, 2024), Kunsthal Aarhus (Aarhus, 2024), Biennale of Sydney (Sydney, 2024), M+ (Hong Kong, 2023), Blank Canvas (Penang, 2023), Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris (Paris, 2022), Kathmandu Triennale (Kathmandu, 2022), Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong, 2022), Jameel Arts Center (Dubai, 2022), Singapore Biennale (Singapore, 2022), Shanghai Power Station of Art (Shanghai, 2021), Para Site (Hong Kong, 2020), Stiftung Skulpturenpark Köln (Cologne, 2020), La Biennale de Lyon (Lyon, 2019), among others.
