Alastair Kwan (b. 1993) is a British-Born Hong Kong artist based in London. He has developed a socially-engaged practice, investigating alternative models of artistic self organisation and community-building, leading to projects such as CONGEE and co-founding of Liquid Gold Studios. His work interrogates collective nostalgia embedded in colonial narratives and personal histories, examining the roles artistic labour and craft have to play within this. He often positions his art between his Hong Kong heritage and experiences growing up in the UK, working in a variety of different scales with mediums including knitting, moving image, painting and drawing.
He is currently a resident artist at Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridgeshire 2024-2025. He graduated from MA Sculpture at the Royal College of Art in 2021. He has exhibited widely including a solo presentation of CONGEE at the Southbank Centre (2023) alongside group shows at the Royal Institute of British Architects (2022), South London Gallery (2021). In 2021 he received the Gilbert Bayes Award from the Royal Society of Sculptors.
