Ben Tong’s Ten Thousand Crystals immerses viewers in luminous nightscapes and still lifes, where light itself becomes both subject and medium. Layers of oil and pigment refract like stained glass, transforming familiar forms into shimmering fragments. Evoking Impressionist techniques, his work captures motion, shifting between abstraction and representation. With a dreamlike quality, his paintings resemble fleeting memories—images that blur, distort, and resurface like reflections in a crystal.
