Hauser & Wirth Hong Kong presents 'Exotica,' a major solo exhibition by Mark Bradford that navigates the concept of 'otherness' through a formally innovative body of work.

Consisting of around 20 new paintings, the exhibition extends Bradford's study of figuration through the use of a signature staining technique, which uses caulk to create ghost-like imprints on the canvas. These forms inject the artist's layered compositions with a trace of fantasy, spectres and strangeness.

The exhibition is anchored by a group of paintings centred on the agave plant, a monocarpic variety that blooms only once at the end of its lifecycle. Drawing inspiration from a 1970s' encyclopedic text that catalogued 'exotic' plants from a western perspective, this new body of work considers how we imagine, internalise, and project a sense of 'otherness' onto which we may be able to name, but have not understood.

Opening reception: 5-7pm

Our daily lives are structured by measurements of time. Calendar systems track the passage of weeks, months, and years, while clocks divide days into hours, minutes, and seconds. Yet, time, as we experience it, resists precise measurement—it can slow down, stretch, accelerate, or even spiral. As an art archive, we are interested in this tension between precision and elusiveness. We often ask ourselves if historical events and art histories have definitive beginnings and endings. And how might artists counter strict chronologies? 

Countering Time has grown out of discussions with four artists and writers over the course of six months. The exhibition presents new works by Merve Ünsal, Simon Leung, Gala Porras-Kim, and Lee Weng Choy, who speculate on the immeasurability of time. Merve Ünsal uses her body to record a centuries-old sinkhole where human and geological time collapse. Simon Leung bends and folds the afterlives of a moment captured in a 1967 photograph from Hong Kong. Gala Porras-Kim traces recollections of lost works and archives. Lee Weng Choy uses personal annotations to mark time. Together, they tune in, refract, exhume, and annotate artworks, archival records, and past events, demonstrating how archives are sites of imagination instead of final resting places of historical records. 

Venue address: CCG Library, Asia Art Archive

Making it Matters is an exhibition exploring different approaches to the topic of making as a process of creative expression and the long-lasting impact this process has on our individual lives, global communities, and ecosystem. The experimental display will feature ideas that innovative makers have adopted to incorporate responsible design, material innovation, and creative reuse strategies into alternative modes of thinking and how these ideas are situated within wider historical, pragmatic, or sociopolitical contexts. The exhibition draws upon the diverse work of artists, designers, and architects currently in the M+ Collections—including John Cage, Raffaella della Olga, Anna Ridler, Julie & Jesse, Fujimori Terunobu, Vo Trong Nghia Architects, and Rural Urban Framework—to highlight the diverse stories that show us why the act of making continues to matter in society, now more than ever.

Para Site is pleased to present ‘The Embrace and the Passage’, an unfolding exhibition ofall-new commissions by Michele Chu, Florence Lam, Monique Yim, and Bunny Cadag,curated by Jessie Kwok.

The exhibition examines the complex relationship between host and guest as a frameworkto explore questions of intimacy and hospitality during times of transition anddisplacement. A host embraces, cares, and remains, while a guest arrives, adapts, anddeparts. In the physical or metaphorical sense—as a body, home or a place—the host-guestdynamic is marked by codependence, negotiation and sometimes conflict.

Curated by Edward Stokes and presented by the Hong Kong Maritime Museum (HKMM)'s curatorial team, Voyage Through Time is a new exhibition of captivating photographs taken in Hong Kong between the 1940s and 1970s by celebrated photographers Hedda Morrison, Brian Brake and Edward Stokes. These photos portray Hong Kong’s harbour, its port, shipping, maritime life, and boat people. Generously supported by The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation HK with additional sponsorship from The Swire Group Charitable Trust, the exhibition is open to the public free of charge, from 13 November 2024 to March 2025.

Each Photograph Tells a Hong Kong Harbour Story 

From the post-war era to its rise as a modern metropolis, these photos vividly capture a slice of Hong Kong’s history. Each photograph tells a unique harbour story.

Hedda Morrison captured post-war maritime Hong Kong with her camera. In one photo, Wan Chai can be seen, still barren after the war, overlooking Victoria Harbour. Life for most people during this period was extremely hard. Many people were gaunt from hunger.

Brian Brake’s photos were mainly taken in the 1960s to mid-1970s. During this era, port facilities and city’s skyline saw significant development, and the lives of its people became less hard.

Edward Stokes’ photos were taken in 1979, a pivotal time when Hong Kong transitioned to its emergence as a modern metropolis. There is one photo that depicts two boys who look adequately fed, and almost certainly going to school – an unthinkable benefit for virtually all boat children in 1946.

Gagosian is pleased to announce |, an exhibition of new paintings by Sterling Ruby from the TURBINE series (2021–), opening at the gallery in Hong Kong on November 14, 2024. The title, |, is an ode to verticality. This exhibition marks not only ten years since the artist’s debut with Gagosian, but also a return to the site of that inaugural presentation.

In a practice that spans painting, sculpture, drawing, collage, video, ceramics, and textiles, Ruby alludes to key artistic tendencies and to the intersection of sociopolitical histories with the narrative of his own life. Through formal juxtaposition, he interweaves the disruption of aesthetic convention with the reexamination of civil structures. In Ruby’s 2014 exhibition VIVIDS, large-scale spray paintings seemed to gaze into the horizon in apparent anticipation of changes to come. Those works’ horizontal orientation stand in stark contrast to the precariously balanced compositions of the new TURBINE paintings on view in Hong Kong.

Ruby recalls the sensation of witnessing such monumental collapse as a child: “When I was young my father worked as an explosives technician. On a number of occasions, I went with him and watched, in real life, the collapse of large structures, the thinness of architecture, chimneys and smokestacks crumble in one sweep, one motion. Transforming solids to particulates. Watching these smokestacks, built on twentieth-century labor and progress, fall, I cannot help but think of societies’ and civilizations’ collapse.”

I study nature, and a lot of these forms come from observing plants. I really look at nature and I just do it as I see it. I draw something on paper. And then I am able to take a wire line and go into the air and define the air without stealing it from anyone. —Ruth Asawa

David Zwirner is pleased to announce an exhibition of sculptures and works on paper by American artist Ruth Asawa (1926–2013) at the gallery’s Hong Kong location. Relentlessly experimental across a range of mediums, Asawa is known for her works built on simple, repeated gestures that accumulate into complex compositions. The artist moved effortlessly between abstract and figurative registers in both two and three dimensions, creating a vast and varied oeuvre that, despite its visual heterogeneity, reflects above all her belief in the total integration of artistic practice and family life. The first solo presentation of Asawa’s work in Greater China, the exhibition provides an overview of the artist’s wide-ranging practice, focusing in particular on her affinity for the natural world, which in turn provided a constant source of inspiration in her art.

David Zwirner is pleased to present an exhibition by American artist Scott Kahn (b. 1946) at the gallery’s Hong Kong location. Once in a Blue Moon will feature a body of new paintings that focus on the full moon in various phases—with its myriad connotations—as their central compositional element. Also on view will be a selection of landscapes from throughout Kahn’s career, several of which include the moon, often glimpsed in the background, materializing as a sort of omen for the scene laid out beneath. Viewed together, these works exemplify the artist’s distinctive approach to the genre, showcasing his masterful use of formal elements to impart psychological resonances and heighten the theatricality of everyday experience. This will be Kahn’s first solo presentation in Asia and first with the gallery since his representation was announced in May 2024.

Ben Brown Fine Arts is delighted to present 多維空間 Quaquaversal, an exhibition of new works by Los Angeles-based conceptual artist Awol Erizku. This bold showcase, featuring paintings, neon installations, and a newly unveiled series of bronze sculptures, builds on the artist’s ongoing engagement with the city of Hong Kong, first initiated in his 2018 exhibition 慢慢燃燒 Slow Burn. 多維空間 Quaquaversal continues Erizku’s exploration of materiality, symbolism, and cultural intervention, expanding dialogues around cultural authorship and art history while electrifying African diasporic identity in a powerful act of revival.

Erizku reimagines the visual and linguistic landscapes of music, popular culture, and sports symbolism, deconstructing and reconstructing cultural motifs to create nuanced narratives that favor Afrocentric perspectives. In 多維空間 Quaquaversal, Erizku fuses disparate elements, producing a cultural flip that re-examines the established canons of art history, philosophy, and language. At the heart of his practice is a dissection of the persistent hegemony of Eurocentric ideals, unmasking their quiet colonization of global cultural narratives and intellectual frameworks. This critique examines how these ideals subtly yet powerfully continue to dictate standards of beauty, knowledge, and civilisation, often at the expense of diverse and marginalized worldviews, particularly in art. Erizku’s work defies these dominant frameworks, offering instead an Afrocentric vision he terms Afro-Esotericism.

"Since ancient times, humanity has gazed at the starry sky. Even now, when I look upon the vast canvas painted with countless stars, the cares of human society seem to fade away, and I am enveloped in an elegant atmosphere." Chiyu Uemae

Chiyu Uemae’s practice transcends conventional artistic production to embody a profound meditation on existence. Through his meticulous pointillist abstractions and later textile works, Uemae articulates a deeply personal cosmology at the intersection of humanity, labour, materiality, and temporal awareness.

In the landscape of post-war Japanese art, Uemae emerges as a singular presence. As one of the few artists who remained with the pioneering Gutai Art Association from its inception until its dissolution, Uemae's oeuvre represents a unique trajectory within the movement's radical experimentations. Cosmology presents sixteen pivotal works from the 1950s to the 2000s, offering a contemplative journey through the accumulated gestures of Uemae’s personal and creative life.

Asia is home to rich textile traditions. Its textile art is generally seen as an applied art, and textile artists are often equated with weavers, tailors or knitters. However, Asian artists increasingly turn to textiles to honour traditional craftsmanship while addressing historical narratives and current global urgencies, such as pollution and waste, pioneering a new dimension of textile art.

The ANTEPRIMA x CHAT Contemporary Textile Art Prize aims to encourage and promote artists with Asian connections who offer new insights into textile materials, techniques and history. In the inaugural edition, eight curators from different countries who have a deep understanding of Asian contemporary art nominated four artists each. An international jury of five esteemed members then selected eight finalists based on five criteria: potential, originality, skill, idea and methodology. The jury judged the finalists’ works on site and announced the winner on 29 November. During the exhibition, visitors are also invited to vote for their favourite artwork in the Audience Prize.

Presented in partnership with ANTEPRIMA, this exhibition showcases the works of the finalists and celebrates the expressive power and intrinsic significance of textiles. We hope the one-of-a-kind prize will stimulate artistic talents and create future possibilities of textiles.

Visitants to Lunar Factory summarises Guangzhou-based artist collective BOLOHO’s activity over their six-month residency at CHAT in 2024. As their first institutional solo exhibition in Hong Kong, it culminates their co-creative efforts in CHAT’s community programme Seed to Textile.

BOLOHO draws inspiration from their recent research on huaqiao nongchang (overseas Chinese farms) and the diverse plants that thrived there. In Guangzhou and Hong Kong over spring, BOLOHO collaborated with ‘Seeders’ formed by local students to nurture six plants commonly found in overseas Chinese farms. They made natural dyes with the harvests and invited the public to participate in dyeing and collaging fabrics in summer. Using the results of the workshops, BOLOHO produced the video work Visitants to Lunar Factory, which is presented with other collaborative artworks in this exhibition.

Imagine living with a debilitating disease for the rest of your life because you were unaware you had it for so long. Imagine losing your quality of life because you were not diagnosed with a life-threatening disease in time. This is the reality for some of us in the HIV/AIDS community who did not discover their status until later in life.

AIDS Concern, which was founded in 1990, has been a strong advocate for HIV prevention and sexual health education. Over the last decade, we have helped over 200k people of all genders with HIV/AIDS testing, education and holistic support. We continue to encourage everyone in our community, regardless of orientation, age or gender, to get tested. HIV/ AIDS is a chronic, non-curable disease. Our vision for Hong Kong is Triple Zeros: zero stigma, zero new infections, and zero AIDS deaths. We aim to end AIDS by 2030.

Sin Sin Fine Arts has been a pioneer in giving back to the local community for decades. Sin Sin recognized the importance of continuing to raise awareness about HIV prevention and the associated issues, such as mental health. Sin Sin and AIDS Concern are collaborating with 17 artists for this event, and we invite you to DIVE-IN and support this exhibition. Your support will help with our continued promotion, education, and advocacy of comprehensive sexuality education as well as helping PLHIV medically and mentally, with all of our holistic services.

Empty Gallery is pleased to present Respirare, Tokyo-based painter Reina Sugihara's first solo exhibition with the gallery. Sugi-hara's enigmatic canvases emerge from a gradual and ritualistic process of tracing, layering, and effacement often enacted over a period of months or years. Her paintings first coalesce around the intuitive selection of a found object, whose essential mystery and perceptual ambiguity become a site of sustained phenomenological investigation. Mediated first through the sieve of embodied consciousness and then through the hand of the artist, these objects are transmuted into luminous deposits of gesso and oil, pigment and binder-emergent and quivering contours whose contingent organicism suggests a self-sustaining reality. Striking in their anachronistic approach to a medium often fraught with its own history, Sugihara's paintings share affinities with the automatism of the Surrealists, the corporeal tendencies of post-war Japanese and European painting, and the contemplative traditions of religious art, but are, quietly, all their own.

Opening reception: 6-8pm

Following the opening reception there will be performances by Shizuo Uchida, Ritsuko Sakata (DJ), and the band RQRQ.

Alisan Fine Arts is proud to announce the opening of Walasse Ting: Joy, Temptation and Magic, a survey exhibition of the artist’s evolution over five decades. While widely recognised for his exuberant and colourful paintings of Dionysiac nudes, luscious flowers and menagerie of animals. Walasse Ting (1928-2010) was a groundbreaking figure who bridged diverse Western movements – including CoBrA, Abstract Expressionism, and Pop art – with Chinese artistic traditions. This exhibition features representative works from each decade, spanning the 1950s to the 1990s, in mediums such as drawing, acrylic on canvas, and ink on paper, paying homage to his liberal meandering across Western and Eastern artistic influences, and unadulterated celebration of life’s abundance and temptations.

This comprehensive exhibition offers a vital exploration of the artist’s legacy, revealing facets of his oeuvre that have often been overshadowed by his well-recognised vibrant paintings of nudes and flowers. By showcasing early and lesser-known works—particularly in gestural abstraction and black-and-white painting—the exhibition reveals the depth and complexity of Ting’s creative spirit throughout his illustrious career. Ting’s long-standing relationship with Alisan Fine Arts dates back to his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong in 1986, organised by Alice King, the gallery’s co-founder, just five years into AFA’s operation. Since then, the gallery has mounted 12 solo exhibitions for the artist and has been instrumental in introducing Ting’s signature style to Asian audiences, helping to establish him as a significant figure in the Chinese art diaspora.

Para Site is delighted to present ‘How to be Happy Together?’, curated by Zairong Xiang.Departing loosely from Wong Kar Wai’s Happy Together (1997), the exhibition enacts a critique of dualism and the questions raised by the dual and its split—between intimate and antagonistic partners, between political entities, between ‘us’ and ‘them’, and even between ‘I’ and ‘me’, transcending the logic of ‘either/or’ central to racial capitalism and colonial modernity. 

The primary setting for Wong Kar Wai’s queer Hong Kong cinema classic is Buenos Aires—the literal opposite side of the world from Hong Kong. Featuring over twenty artists from Hong Kong, its neighbouring localities, and Latin America, the exhibition alludes to Hong’s clichéd status as a para-site ‘between east and west’, and ‘between tradition and modernity’, in order to interrogate encounters both imagined and real between two seemingly distant ends of the world. It engages with a wide range of artistic practices that stay formally within the pas de deux yet promiscuously open up to an unexpected array of couplings and decouplings, spotlighting overlooked historical, social, and cultural connections between Greater China and the world to rethink possibilities of a queer happy-togetherness.

In a world first, M+ presents a two-person exhibition of the photographic works of Yasumasa Morimura (Japanese, born 1951) and Cindy Sherman (American, born 1954). Both artists are renowned for their visual and conceptual strategies of masquerade, transforming their appearances to portray multiple identities that offer incisive commentary on contemporary culture and history.

Featuring works from major early series by Morimura and Sherman, the exhibition traces the genesis of their practices that reimagine iconic imagery from art history, cinema, and media culture. These creative acts of masquerade not only emulate the source material, but also embody the artists’ unique perspectives and contexts. Their representations deviate from the original images, triggering a sense of familiarity as well as ambiguity. By establishing a fluid relationship with their subjects, Morimura and Sherman explore identity as a malleable construct.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Forbidden City in China and the Palace of Versailles in France each stood as the centre of their respective countries’ political, cultural, and artistic life. Despite the vast geographic distance between them, the courts in Beijing and Versailles were keenly curious about one another. Led by a number of enlightened rulers and facilitated by travelling French missionaries, China and France embarked on extensive and impactful exchanges.

This special exhibition presents nearly 150 spectacular treasures from the Palace Museum and the Palace of Versailles, illuminating the fascinating encounters and exchanges between China and France in science, artisanship, arts, culture, and philosophy during the 17th and 18th centuries. The objects on display tell stories of the special bonds forged between China and France through mutual admiration and respect, which provided new incentives to expand skills and knowledge and create new art forms. Together, people in China and France created a splendid chapter in the history of world cultural exchange.

Tai Kwun Contemporary's latest public art commission, Waiting Pavilions, investigates the passage of time in the setting of a former prison, the Victoria Goal. Created by the acclaimed Polish artist Alicja Kwade—known for using everyday materials to ask questions about existing realities and social structures—Waiting Pavilions are the artist's first site-specific installation in Hong Kong, bridging the past and present on Tai Kwun's Prison Yard.

With glass, metal, and stone, Kwade reimagines the waiting experience in a contemporary context. Six prison-like structures, built with glass bricks, dot the Prison Yard. The transparency of the bricks alludes to the unseen confines of modern life. The numerous white chairs nearby, each holding up a sizable stone, may also allow viewers to think of how the external environment is connected to our inner worlds. In a way, Waiting Pavilions points to how reality often transcends initial appearances.

gdm Hong Kong is delighted to present Crossing, a group exhibition curated by independent curator Chris Wan, opening on January 9 2025. Featuring new works by nine artists—Au Wah Yan, Sushan Chan, Lilin, Law Yuk Mui, Sharon Lee, Joseph Leung, Andrew Luk, Ivy Ma, and Michelle Tam—the exhibition explores the emotional intersections of Hong Kong’s history through diverse perspectives, highlighting the deep connections between individuals and their times.

Building on the curator’s research into Chinese diasporic experiences, Crossing captures a moment in Hong Kong’s present. History’s ripples unfold within everyday life, as people’s displacement, connections, and separations mirror the uncertainty of crossing uncharted waters. This challenging journey also holds immense potential for self-creation and renewal.

 The participating artists, from Hong Kong and beyond, respond to pivotal moments in their personal lives through their work, reflecting on the pressing question: “How do we navigate this turbulent time?” The artworks blend imaginative and conceptual ideas with sincere and direct expressions, delineating a heartfelt letter to the city of Hong Kong.

Alicja Kwade: Pretopia is the artist's first solo institutional exhibition in Hong Kong. Showcasing works that span different periods of the Polish-born artist's career, the exhibition reflects on our perception of time. It also proposes new perspectives for viewing and understanding reality.

Pretopia shows nine works from her career, together with newly commissioned installations tailored to the history and architecture Tai Kwun's F Hall. Within the symmetrical space of the exhibition, the artist has laid out a sculptural environment where each work relies on the presence of others. In a way, the exhibition can be seen as a multiverse.

Adept at drawing from abstract scientific and philosophical concepts, Alicja Kwade transforms them through a consummate use of materials, both natural and artificial. Her artworks frequently incorporate objects such as clocks, fluorescent tubes, clock hands, chairs, mirrors, metal gates, bricks, and rocks. Together, her works orbit around the examination and questioning of reality and social structures.

Perrotin Hong Kong is pleased to present Minority Flags, the first solo exhibition in Hong Kong by the Japanese artist Yayoi Deki. Known for her mesmerizingly intricate finger-stamped paintings, Deki continues her exploration of the Flags series, transforming the geometry of various LGBTQ+ pride flags into subtly textured fields of miniature faces. The resulting works present a unique juxtaposition of cheerful aesthetics while gesturing toward deeper, more complex themes.

Deki's work is renowned for its exquisitely detailed paintings, vibrant color palette, and distinctive finger-stamping technique, conveying a sense of utter purity and eternal adolescence. In the meticulously painted "Flags" series, her singular focus manifests in a collection of miniature faces, representing an element of transcendence within the pictorial plane.

Opening this Saturday, January 11, is “Sarah & Samuel,” a show featuring artist-couple Sarah Lai and Samuel Swope. Revealing for the first time the differences and parallels in their individual practices, the exhibition is, markedly, not a duo show, but a show about being a duo. Two new collaborative pieces will be presented alongside older works, representing the unseen partnership sprung from a 19-year relationship and shared studio space.

To celebrate CHU Hing Wah’s 90th birthday, Hanart TZ Gallery will present Master CHU’s retrospective exhibition, featuring over 60 works spanning the 1960s to 2024, including both recent paintings and works held privately over the years. The exhibition presents a pictorial review of the artist’s long career marked by empathy and compassion, and his dedication to both the care of his fellows and of his own soul.

Although deeply interested in painting in his youth, CHU Hing Wah chose to train as a psychiatric nurse. From this time on, his professional career and his art-making developed side by side. CHU’s style and technique are moulded by the innocent directness of a naked soul, long exposed to the care of fragile mental patients. At its core, his art is a celebration of human sympathy. Over his long painting career CHU has mainly cast his eyes on the daily life of urban Hong Kong, but the emotional tenor of his works is free of any sense of crass urbanity. With his keen sensitivity to the vulnerability of the human psyche, CHUunderstands that the true pleasure of ordinary life is still found in the bonds of community and family. These are the strengths that enable us to withstand the corrosive quality of this commercialised age. They are the starting points from which we form a bond with our world.

White Cube presents an exhibition of paintings by London-based Canadian artist Michele Fletcher. Informed by the natural world and guided by visual memory, Fletcher’s process-driven works are marked by her distinctive use of colour and haptic brushwork, which confer an organic dynamism to her abstract forms.

Over the past 20 years, Fletcher has developed a process-led practice, one that involves the direct channelling of imagined imagery onto the canvas. Painted ‘wet on wet’ in a single sitting, sometimes extending up to a 12-hour stretch, Fletcher’s method engages the body in an act of physical endurance. This physical relationship between the artist and her canvas can be charted through the paint, which is scraped, dragged and dripped across the surface. Loose, gestural passages of paint wind around each other, creating a complex network of forms suggestive of sinuous stems, foliage, petals. The product of an intuitive approach, her works combine a freedom of expression with a chromatic vibrancy, one that speaks to the inherent dynamism and variegation of vegetal life. Many, if not all, of the paintings make use of layered colour and coiled marks, both of which serve to crowd out the foreground, all but eclipsing a pale-coloured ground.

Kaleidoscope introduces the artistic worlds of five contemporary Korean artists who actively work on a global stage. Like the patterns of a kaleidoscope, these artists show their unique and creative realms through diverse artistic backgrounds and expressions. Through these works, they harmonize Korean aesthetics with modern sensibilities, going beyond merely presenting Korean art to reinterpreting its traditions and contemporary elements in distinctive ways, thereby challenging the global art scene.

This exhibition, held in Hong Kong—one of Asia’s premier art hubs—breaks down the boundaries between East and West through the unique artistic expressions of five artists. It delivers unique and meaningful messages through a variety of artistic philosophies. Different cultures and emotions merge through art, creating endlessly evolving new patterns and offering opportunities for rich artistic encounters. Over the divides of East and West, religion, and nationality, this exhibition provides a chance to directly experience the “harmony through art” that defines contemporary Korean art.

Flowers Gallery Hong Kong is pleased to present an exhibition of works by renowned Scottish painter Peter Howson. Considered one of his generation’s leading figurative painters, Peter Howson was a focal member of a group of young artists to emerge from the Glasgow School of Art in the 1980s, known as the ‘New Glasgow Boys.’ Howson is renowned for his penetrating insight into the human condition, and his heroic portrayals of the mighty and meek. His art is described by Robert Heller as "founded in humanity, especially the human face."

Following Howson's critically-acclaimed 2023 retrospective When the Apple Ripens: Peter Howson at 65 at Edinburgh City Art Centre, Flowers Gallery Hong Kong will exhibit two major paintings, Luxuria (2018) and The Banner of Saint George(2015), on which the theme of the show is based, alongside a series of drawings on paper from 2023 - 2024

Leo Gallery is honoured to present Olga Bläsi’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong on 16 January 2025, following her successful debut group exhibition, "Polyphonic Resonance", held at the unique premise of Chun Art Museum in collaboration with Leo Gallery Shanghai last year. The show will showcase Bläsi’s latest series of delicate installations and paperwork, seeking to establish a dialogue between the two mediums and aiming for a harmonious balance.

Bläsi’s artistic journey delves into the intricate interplay of materials, textures, and forms, examining how their interactions evoke sensations akin to skin and touch. Each piece she creates emerges as a response to its surroundings, reflecting a dynamic dialogue between various elements. During her stay in Hong Kong last year, Bläsi immersed herself in the local culture by visiting local fabric markets to draw inspiration and select materials that would play a key role in her new works. Her latest pieces reflect not only her artistic pursuits but also her engagement with themes of femininity, craftsmanship, and the human experience.

Paul Cézanne (1839 – 1906) and Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841 – 1919) asserted themselves as two of the greatest masters of French painting during the last quarter of the 19th century and the very beginning of the 20th century. As icons of the Impressionist art movement in France, the two artists sought to reinvent the art of their time with their innovative depiction of the rapidly changing modern world. Along their artistic journey, they forged a lasting friendship and became influential figures for the new generations of painters, including Spanish master Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973).

This is the first large-scale exhibition of the two Impressionist masters Cézanne and Renoir in Hong Kong, showcasing 52 masterpieces from the Musée de l’Orangerie and the Musée d’Orsay in France.

Blue Lotus Gallery is excited to announce “Shooting Hoops,” an exhibition and accompanying photo book launch showcasing Austin Bell’s photographic documentation of all 2,549 outdoor basketball courts in Hong Kong. The exhibition will kick off with an opening event; a book launch and signing on January 15 6-9pm and will run through February 23, offering viewers a glimpse into Bell’s exhaustive cataloging of the city’s vibrant sports surfaces.

Upon his first visit to Hong Kong in 2017, photographer Austin Bell was struck by the color and design of the city’s basketball courts—starkly contrasting the bland asphalt surfaces in his native USA. 

Despite living in one of the highest-density cities in the world, most Hong Kong residents can find sports and recreational facilities within walking distance. Surveys have consistently found basketball to be the most popular sport among young people, contributing to small-scale ‘pocket parks’ being the most frequently visited types of open spaces in Hong Kong. 

Intrigued, Bell returned in 2019 with the goal of capturing ALL of Hong Kong courts. 

Opening reception and book signing: January 17, 6-9pm

Minimal Senses is an exhibition that came from hibernation, deep breaths, and subconscious processing in the back of the head, questioning, “Where does all the conserved energy go?” In the process of making directions and bypassing obstacles, one travels and yet reaches to no destinations. Living in a time with an overwhelming amount of fragmented stories, how does one find guidance for direction? When you stop sensing the world so much, and instead chooses to turn inward and hibernate, where do you go?

Kateřina Ondrušková's first solo exhibition for Double Q, Blue-Green Eyes, presents the latest series of paintings created during 2024. The title of the exhibition itself evokes the duality of perception - blue as the colour of inner melancholy and restless reflection, green as a symbol of life, all-encompassing nature and organically controlled cycle. These two positions are the way through which the painter has long viewed the world. This duality then resonates not only in the colour palette and techniques she uses, but also in the emotional and conceptual layers of her work, which links nature and her personal feel of the world. Contemplative exploration of nature, memories and human emotions has long been inherent in her work. 

Opening reception: 3-6pm

Karin Weber Gallery is pleased to announce its first exhibition for the New Year. ‘Defying Boundaries: Female Vision’ highlights and celebrates a selection of female gallery artists, at different career stages and from a wide range of geographies.

Around the globe, women artists are achieving increasing – and long overdue – visibility and recognition for their talent and creative practice. There are far more gallery and museum exhibitions dedicated to female creators than ever before. More work by women is entering museum collections, and their auction prices are rising.

The start of 2025 provides a great opportunity to showcase a small selection of the fantastic female talent at Karin Weber Gallery, all of whom are ‘Defying Boundaries’ through their creations and dedication to their artistic career, often in the face of significant adversity.

"If you're a baker, making bread, you're a baker. If you make the best bread in the world, you're not an artist, but if you bake the bread in the gallery, you're an artist. So the context makes the difference."

—Marina Abramovic

Visual artist Afa Annfa and food stylist Gloria Chung will present their first duo solo exhibition at JPS Gallery Hong Kong. Inspired by an iconic quote from conceptual and performance artist Marina Abramovic, this unique showcase explores the complex relationship between authentic and artificial food, examining their artistic significance and symbolic meanings. The exhibition, titled A&G Boulangerie, focuses specifically on bread and butter—staple foods that hold profound cultural significance in our lives. 

The exhibition space will be divided into two distinct zones: a meaningful kitchen island in the main room and an altar area that adds a sacred dimension to the everyday act of breaking bread. This dual arrangement fosters an engaging dialogue between the mundane and the divine.

The Qing dynasty (1644–1911) is a regime ruled by the Manchu ethnic group, established its military foundation upon a rigorous martial organisation, superior military technology, and a distinctive martial ethos. The Forbidden City in Beijing was the nexus of Qing political and military power, embodying over two centuries of military history from the Qing dynasty. It vividly illustrates the Manchus’ adherence to ancestral martial traditions, their absorption of, and innovative adaptation of, military technologies, and their ceremonial protocols, making it a treasure trove of traditional military culture. The exhibition features nearly 190 military artefacts from the Qing court in The Palace Museum’s collection, featuring a wide range of objects such as helmets, archery sets, sabres and swords, equestrian equipment, paintings, textiles, books, albums, and scientific instruments.

This exhibition is organised in six thematic sections: “The Rise of the Eight Banners and Qing Rule”, “Swords and Sabres across the State”, “Equestrian Archery and Firearms”, “Military Drills, Inspections, and Rites”, “Images as Histories”, and “Coastal Defence”. With a diverse array of exceptional objects, the exhibition presents the development of Qing military organisation, technology, and artistry, enriching the understanding of Qing military culture.

“No Such Person” is the last exhibition in the WMA “Home” series, examining how our sense of home anchors memory and shapes identity. Through a deeply personal lens, Anson Mak—who has relocated 32 times throughout her life—employs autoethnography to re-visit her artist archive of video works, music, and writings. In the newly commissioned works, Mak investigates her longstanding interests and concerns surrounding identity, memory, and cultural belonging. Curator Chloe Chow approaches the exhibition as a researcher, and analyses how Mak’s intimate first-person perspective illuminates a broader narrative of social transformation. Through this exercise, Mak’s personal odyssey becomes a window into examining a vast array of collective experience of sex/gender movement, community rebuilding, mental health issues, and displacement.

Is breaking from our predetermined paths the only way to true awakening? In Veering, the artist Hu Xiaoyuan presents seven newly commissioned works, weaving together installation, sound, painting, and video to reveal the complex relationship between human destiny and natural evolution, addressing ultimate questions of individual survival and the meaning of life. Hu incorporates everyday materials like Aerospace grade aluminum, sea shells, organza silk, and corn fibre in her works. Through translucent drapes and lighting design, she creates unique pathways that blur the line between day and night, creating an ambiguous spatial experience. This setting guides visitors to reflect on enduring themes such as time, materiality, existence, and consciousness.

Veering is part of Tai Kwun Contemporary's new Breakthrough series, which underlines emerging artistic positions through solo presentations, commissions, and innovative formats. For Spring 2025, _Hu Xiaoyuan: Veering _is presented alongside Alicja Kwade: Pretopia and Maeve Brennan: Records. These solo exhibitions by three female artists explore materials and storytelling through diverse approaches.

Alisan Fine Arts is pleased to present Xie Xiaoze: The Archaeology of Knowledge, the artist’s debut exhibition with the gallery and his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. As the opening act of Alisan Atelier in 2025, the exhibition presents a thought-provoking selection of oil paintings, ink on paper and resin and porcelain sculptures- primarily drawing from Xie’s acclaimed Chinese Library series and Amber of History series. These works excavate the ancient poetics and contemporary relevance of books and knowledge.

Born in rural Guangdong province in 1966, Xie was profoundly influenced by early memories of his father, a school principal, being forced to collect books for destruction during the Cultural Revolution. After moving to the United States in 1993, where he now serves as a professor of art at Stanford University, Xie developed a deep fascination with books. This led him to explore major museums and libraries worldwide, including return visits to China,investigating repositories of past knowledge. For over three decades, his practice has focused on unravelling the complex relationships between knowledge, history and power through paintings, installations, photographs and videos.

THE SHOPHOUSE is pleased to present Yat Tung, a solo exhibition by Hong Kong-based artist Bonny Wong Hiu Ching that explores the depths of loss and connection through a series of broken and borrowed memories. A collection of imagery that revolves around the artist’s experience of hiking with her late father – chasing first light – the newly created paintings navigate the paths of absence and presence, reaffirming life through the act of repeated seeking.

A homage to her father’s name ‘Yat Tung’ – which translates as ‘Sun’ and ‘East’ – the exhibition narrative is founded on Bonny Wong Hiu Ching’s memory of hiking Kowloon Peak with her family in the days leading up to her father’s passing. The daily quest was to reach the top in time to watch the sunrise, though only once had they succeeded before their eventual loss. The depicted sceneries are a combination of imaginations by the artist based on short stories told by her father on their trips and various views as seen from her father’s perspective as the artist revisits his paths. The former are of places heard of but never rediscovered, and the latter are of familiar sights, reactivated through the eyes of the living.

This exhibition reflects Lily Choi’s passionate artistic journey, which remains “to be continued” due to unforeseen circumstances.

 While preparing for the show, Lily faced unexpected eye problems. Although her mind brimmed with inspiration and creative ideas, she was forced to set aside her brush.

“I can only look forward to the next opportunity to continue…” she thought.

Yet, her mind continues to flow... Perhaps what we call “imperfection” is itself a form of beauty? Remembering the concept of “wabi-sabi,” which embraces the impermanent, it made us realize that the creations before us are already inherently beautiful.

As night falls, this evening feels different, perhaps with an endless potential.
To halt the night, we can only strive to intervene, to slow it down…
We often hear about the end of the world, and sometimes I wonder if one of those predictions was true, as we now find ourselves in the midst of it. With awareness, I sense my own evaporation has long begun, and my mind feels increasingly light.
In this room, the exhibition shall embody darkness, the essence of night, profound and deep. Visible yet invisible.
We live in the present, in the future, and simultaneously in the past.
Maintaining this delicate balance, we glide along a steady path.
Fate is like a web.
Time and again, I find myself defeated, unable to step back into the ring, as the memories of the fight gradually fade away.
Oh, how long have I been submerged in this tank of water?
Oh, where do you intend to take me?
When the spirit wanes, I find myself listening to "Big Time" once, twice, three times...

10 Chancery Lane Gallery is proud to present Hong Kong artist Lewis Lee in a solo exhibition titled “The Tale of Beas River” at 10 Chancery Lane Gallery. The exhibition consists of a new series of paintings and an installation of relics to commemorate the historical legacy of the Hong Kong-China borderland that runs along the Beas River.

Lewis Lee is an artist who is tied to the geographical stories of land and its connected meanings. He grew up in Hong Kong’s Sheung Shui area near the Hong Kong–Mainland China border. He grew up watching the buildings of the now megapolis of Shenzhen emerge out of the landscape viewed from the rural borderlands on the Hong Kong side. Like many Hong Kongers, he is the son of a mainland Chinese immigrant. His father arrived in 1980 crossing through the barbed wire at Ta Kwu Ling, the starting point of his life thereafter. Lee likes to roam the hinterlands of Hong Kong’s border area reimagining the landscapes as a part of Hong Kong history and how the idea of being a “Hong Konger” emerged after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China when the British colonial government established a border prohibited area in 1951, creating a barrier similar to the Berlin Wall. Formally isolating the people of both regions with a serpentine river serves as a natural barrier, separating opposing ideologies in the air. The concept of "Hong Konger" began to take shape from that moment.

Jessie Homer French was born in New York in 1940. She currently lives and works in Oak View, California.

A self-taught artist, her paintings emerge from a continuous analysis of places surrounding her and reveal the artist’s personal and profound attitude to a local and transient type of composition. Through a simplified language - only apparently naive, flat colours and calm brushstrokes - Homer French treats with delicate care existential issues related to death, nature and rural life. In her work, humanity appears a toxic intruder in a melancholic nature, and yet, even the paintings with the darkest subjects feature a formal vitality capable of giving extraordinary immediacy to her bittersweet and anti-pastoral compositions, in which creation and destruction coexist with exemplary candour.

Upon entering the exhibition, you will encounter familiar artworks that you might recall from our earlier exhibitions. This collection features a range of unsold artworks. Additionally, an AI podcast discussing the context of the show, generated based on this press release, will be playing throughout the gallery.

In today’s speculative art market, characterized by exaggeration and market manipulation, DE SARTHE is marking its first show of the year with a month-long deliberate showcase of unsold works from past exhibitions. A curatorial concept that goes against the grain of common market-driven practices, the exhibition intends to spark critical discussions about market dynamics, reset the manipulated perceptions of what is considered value in art, and reemphasize the importance of fostering a healthy and sustainable art world ecosystem.

But just as history has previously demonstrated, the speculative bubble is now bursting – and a market reset is taking place. In this vital moment, DE SARTHE invites a reevaluation of what constitutes artistic success, a renewal of the notion that art’s greatest significance lies not in its commercial value, but its importance, even necessity, as agents of culture. By highlighting unsold works from our previous exhibitions, we aim to challenge preconceived notions about the quality or appeal of these works, providing an opportunity to initiate a dialogue about the intrinsic worth of art.

Few artists have kept their finger on the pulse of the layered cultural, artistic and sociohistorical landscape of Central Asia as firmly as Erbossyn Meldibekov (b. 1964), who has been making works that serve as metaphors for the ever shifting geopolitics of the region since the early 1990s. The Point Becomes a Circle, and Time Turns into a Ball in a Curved Space, the artist’s fourth solo exhibition at Rossi & Rossi Hong Kong, will take place on the 8th of February 2025, showcasing a brand new body of works from the past five years. In them, Meldibekov returns to the visual foundations of his oeuvre, namely the point and the circle, as symbols to expound the art history and its contemporary discourse of the steppes in his native Kazakhstan.

Tse Chun Sing's solo exhibition ‘Foolproof plants’ will be held from 15 February to 9 March 2025 at HART Haus, Kennedy Town Art Space. The exhibition consists of a series of kinetic works and video installations, in which virtual images and imaginary plants are assembled to form a completely artificial garden. The artist observes the relationship between himself and the plants with his creations, and uses the electronic plants to look back on his own state of being, thus unpacking the tension and disparity between his desire for control, his sense of security, and his sense of powerlessness.

When the artist looks back on his past planting experiences, most of them ended up in vain, the labour, patience and emotions invested in the process failed to yield the desired returns, but instead brought feelings of frustration and exhaustion. In recent years, there have been changes in the external environment and the artist's personal state of life, which are partly active choices and partly passive acceptance. These experiences have helped him to better understand his discomfort with the changes in his surroundings, as well as the tension between ‘attempt to control’ and ‘uncontrollable’.

The exhibition presents the artist's creation of a fully-controlled gardenscape, in which the repetitive play of the blossoming of Epiphyllum oxypetalum, time of flowering is no longer a flash in the pan. You are cordially invited to come and see the man-made paradise built by the artist.

“This exhibition is about my mother Susan, a third-generation Chinese Indonesian born in Pontianak in 1962. It was quite precarious to be a Chinese in Indonesia when she was growing up. The government pursued a policy of assimilation and closed down Chinese schools. Her family was also forced to relocate from the countryside to Jakarta. In 1990, Susan married a local Hong Kong (HK) fisherman whom she met through a matchmaker. Together, they had two daughters before her passing in 2015. A decade has passed before the opening of this exhibition.

During the 1980s and the 1990s, many Indonesian Chinese women saw HK as a dreamland. They believed that a transnational marriage with a HK man would allow them to move up the social ladder and escape from familial and societal issues back home. However, these relationships often involved underprivileged men in HK and might not turn out to be what they had imagined.

A few years back, I started to learn the skills for making Canton porcelain. As a kind of chinaware made primarily for export to Europe and the United States, Canton porcelain symbolised the Chinese desire for a better life and reflected the Western fantasies of an Oriental paradise. In my work, I appropriate the forms and techniques of Canton porcelain by reinterpreting the traditional symbols of its iconography and juxtaposing them with my collection of family photographs. In this way, I draw a parallel between these Western fantasies of the Orient and the Southeast Asian Chinese women’s imaginations of HK and China.

WOAW Gallery is pleased to present “Between Times”, a solo exhibition by artist Yam Shalev. This exhibition embarks on a profound exploration of ephemeral moments, showcasing a collection of meticulously constructed paintings that depict the most intimate yet universal scenes through Shalev’s lens. The exhibition will be on view from 18 February to 17 March 2025, which also celebrates his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong.

Time is elusive; it slips by too quickly for anyone to catch. In “Between Times”, Shalev’s works freeze time as he frames these fleeting instances on canvas. Often vanishing before we truly notice them, some moments stand out as the highlights in life. Shalev invites the viewers to embark on an intimate journey through closely observing these intense, condensed, and universal daily fragments.

Our gallery space becomes their classroom, studio, exhibition, and performance space - a fluid environment where the boundaries between these functions blur and reshape. Their works from this programme will also be showcased at Art Basel Hong Kong.

The blank space in 'i(n)s(pace):___' is not a void to be filled with a single answer but a realm of infinite possibilities. We invite you to join us in this exploration, to question, to learn, and to fill in the blank with your own vision of what art education and art space can be.

With City of Chimeras, the Russian art collective AES+F extends its conceptual exploration of Inverso Mundus (World upside down), delving deeper into the symbolic and cultural implications of the chimera. Historically, the chimera has been associated with hybridity and monstrosity, a creature composed of disparate animal forms that, in classical mythology, signified both physical threat and metaphysical transgression. Over time, this image has evolved from a representation of chaos and danger to a broader metaphor for illusion, unattainable aspirations, and the instability of identity. AES+F’s latest series reinterprets this mythological being not as an object of fear, but as a familiar and even endearing presence—an approach that challenges traditional conceptions of beauty, normality, and the aesthetic integration of the monstrous into the everyday.

Kwai Fung Hin is pleased to present The Voice in the Mirror, a solo exhibition of Oswaldo Vigas (1923 –2014) that examines the Venezuelan modern artist’s renewed take on figuration after his return to his home country from Paris in 1964.

Taking a closer look at one of the defining figures in Latin American modern art, the exhibition features Vigas’s diverse media of paintings, sculptures, ceramics and tapestries, highlighting the depth and breadth of his artistic practice in the second half of his career which lasted for more than seven decades.

Symbols transcend time, reflecting the values and ideals of the societies that create them. Nouvelle Notions of Nostalgia explores these enduring symbols through the cultural intersection of Hong Kong and Japan, reimagining concepts of victory and legacy in a contemporary context.

The exhibition juxtaposes inspiring figures from Hong Kong and Japan with the Greek goddess of victory, Nike, deconstructing her iconic image and examining the multifaceted nature of triumph. Is fame synonymous with victory, or is legacy defined by what is left behind?

The artist will attend the opening reception, offering a unique opportunity for guests to meet the artist and gain deeper insight into his work.

This year, The Stallery marks a milestone—10 years of exhibitions and fostering community within the contemporary art scene in Hong Kong.

Since its founding in December 2014, The Stallery has been more than just a gallery; it has been a space for artistic dialogue, experimentation, and evolution in the context of Hong Kong’s dynamic society and most importantly, a sanctuary for artists. To celebrate a decade of having been in the same, grungy location in Wanchai, this special decennial anniversary exhibition will reflect on the journey of both the gallery and its founder Ernest Chang.

The exhibition will be a comprehensive look at the development of Chang’s work as an artist, showcasing key works created at and exhibited at The Stallery over the past ten years; alongside this, a curated selection of featured artworks from past exhibitions will highlight artists who have contributed to the gallery’s vibrant, diverse and local history— with Angela Ho, Bao Ho, BOMS, Chak, Frog King（蛙王）, Siukins, Siuman Lo, Plumber King (渠王）, Rachel Smith and Isaac Spellman joining the celebrating.

Reality, in its complexity, manifests through infinite variations, all determined by our perception. In this incessant flow, images are not mere static representations; they persist, resist time, dissolve, and reemerge in new forms, revealing their fluid and changing nature. Alessandro Giannì, with his new corpus of works, invites the public to explore this unstable territory, where the visible and the invisible intertwine in a continuous dialogue. As philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty stated, "We never see the world as a given, but as a field of possibilities."

The title of the exhibition, "Multiple Unrealities," is inspired by a painting from 2018 and introduces a series of works conceived between 2024 and 2025. Here, Giannì interrogates the very nature of the image, deconstructed and reworked through a creative process that enhances the evocative power of fragments. The subjects of his canvases are extracted from diverse contexts and stripped of their original meaning: sacred images, details from masterpieces of the past, or elements from his previous works. Torn from their context, these fragments transform into floating bodies, beings suspended between recognition and abstraction, memory and reinvention. This operation is not merely an act of removal but a rewriting of visual language that invites the viewer to reconsider their relationship with the image. In this sense, Giannì aligns himself with the practice of artists such as Gerhard Richter, who, through his use of "blurr," suggests that the truth of the image is intrinsically linked to its subjective perception.

The Flowers of Evil, inspired by Charles Baudelaire's milestone of world literature invites us to delve into the duality of existence, where the exquisite and the sinful dance in an eternal embrace. This group exhibition features the creations of four remarkable artists: Nobuyoshi Araki, Pierre Molinier, Takeshi Shikama and the masterful ikebana artist Makiko Morange. 

First published in 1857, The Flowers of Evil caused a scandal. Baudelaire, with his keen eye for the paradoxes of life, famously celebrated the allure of the forbidden and the transient beauty found within decay. His poetic lens serves as a foundation for this exhibition, guiding us through a labyrinth of emotions and experiences that challenge our perceptions of beauty. 

Together, the exhibiting artists create a dialogue that resonates with Baudelaire's poems, encouraging us to embrace the complexities of our own humanity. The Flowers of Evil  is  an invitation to explore the shadows that accompany our pursuit of beauty, to acknowledge the intertwined nature of light and dark, and to celebrate the transformative power of art.

Opening reception in the presence of artist Makiko Morange: Saturday 22 February 2-6pm

Gallery address: 8/F, E-Wah Factory Building, 56-60 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Aberdeen 

This show delves into the intricate relationship between human emotions and existence from an ontological perspective, focusing on how individuals connect with the world in solitude. The works highlight the interdependence of individuals within society.

One piece portrays a mother sitting alone by a window, illustrating a structure that is both selfless and helpless. It raises questions about how the prioritization of dependence between people is determined.

In another work, a leisurely child is seen holding a cigarette, symbolizing struggle and compliance. The first stage of struggle pertains to the construction of self-identity, emphasizing the importance of desire. The second stage of compliance reflects societal expectations, revealing the obedient relationship between the individual and society during the process of growth.

PORTALS is the final commissioned work of ‘The Embrace and the Passage’, concluding the exhibition’s dialogue on shifting host-guest dynamics. This site-specific performanceinvites audiences to traverse both material and symbolic portals within the space through collective rituals.

Leading up to the performance, the artist hosted workshops in Hong Kong where participants crafted figurines that form a shared, transcendent presence along her own embodiment, Vera Maningning, whose name means ‘the light of truth.’ Clad in white lace—a motif resonant in both Filipino households and Western rituals—she inhabits this figure to embody a spectrum of fluid identities. At the performance, through singing, shapeshifting, and healing practices inspired by pre- and postcolonial Filipino shamanism, she casts the foreign, trans body as a sanctuary of queer struggle and survival, overcomingthe imposed borders of geography and power that continue to shape our world.

Participants are encouraged to bring a personally significant object to join the artist during the performance.

Light scatters in all directions, allowing us to see the shapes, colours, and textures around us. Its presence marks the passage of time. Dawn, noon, dusk, and the moon each brings different hues to the sky. Light illuminates the present, scattering across our minds to form memories that coalesce, swirl, accumulate, and eventually fade. We capture light through images, hoping to preserve its fleeting glow. Yet when we revisit these images, can we rekindle the light and shadows of those moments past? How can we retain the warmth that once accompanied light?

Videotage invites two local artists, Colbie Fung and Jess Lau, to explore the relationship between memory and imagery in a duo-solo exhibition. Both artistic practices centre on themes of time and memory—one by connecting second-hand recollections, the other by engaging with time through her own physical presence. This exhibition presents their latest works, reflecting on the interplay between visual and sensory memories. Fung climbs a tree she once feared as a child, using a portable scanner to capture close-ups as she experiences the tree bit by bit. Lau, having accompanied her father through cataract surgery, explores the body’s reception of light, imagining how he perceives his surroundings through a foggy veil.

In the dim exhibition space, the light captured by the artists re-emerges as an interweaving, waiting to morph into memories of others. Light enters our visions, becoming fragments of memories—sometimes flashing, sometimes fleeting, scattering everywhere.

Novalis Art Design is pleased to present "PHYSIS GLITCH - Reclaiming the Ineffable," an exhibition by Italian artist Roberto Davolio, supported by the Consulate General of Italy in Hong Kong and the Italian Cultural Institute in Hong Kong. Curated by Federica Viola, this exhibition explores the intersection of technology and artistic sensitivity, challenging our perception of reality in the digital age.

Davolio's captivating images, infused with vibrant colors and geometric forms, invite viewers to engage all their senses.  He uses an innovative device, "Hermes," to interact directly with the camera's lens, projecting colors and shapes onto the subject. This process disrupts pre-programmed algorithms, creating unforeseen visual possibilities and revealing hidden dimensions of reality.  The resulting photographs are not mere representations but reinterpretations, prompting contemplation and a deeper understanding of our connection to the world around us.

SC Gallery is honoured to present the duo solo exhibition ”The Trivial Sublime” by Adrian Wong and Doris Wong curated by independent curator Zoie Yung in the coming March . Both artists will showcase a new series of works that reflect on the existential meaning of life and sacred moments stemming from care.
Adrian Wong, trained in psychology, combines his deadpan humour with his works, revealing subconscious desires that remain unspoken in our daily lives. His colour choices and stylistic references intentionally mix the mundane with the aesthetic of plastic stage props, presenting a dislocated version of the mundane. Doris‘s exhibited works are created after her “Pastel Nagomi Art” classes. This therapeutic mindfulness art emphasizes that no prior painting skills are necessary.
Participants apply dry pastels to various stencil plates using fingertips or cotton swabs, combining images and colours to express internal emotional fluctuations through a slow and focused “creation” process. They experience the power of meditation to calm the mind.

Cocktail opening: 3/6 4-7:30 pm

'One • Square • Water • Soil' draws inspiration from the Chinese proverb '一方水土養一方人' (The land’s water and soil nurtures its people) to delve into the intricate connections between environment, culture, and human character. From the natural landscape to the social fabric of life, 'water and soil' are not only the foundation of thought and sentiment but also a vital source of creativity for artists.

Curated by acclaimed local photographer Almond Chu, the exhibition showcases works by six Hong Kong-based artists across diverse mediums, including photography, sculpture, ceramics, and kinetic art. Through their distinctive perspectives, the artists engage with the essence of this land, interweaving its memories and cultural fabric into evocative artistic narratives.

This exhibition invites viewers to embark on a journey of reconnection with the land, uncovering the city’s untold stories through the lens of art. It offers a profound exploration of how creativity illuminates the spirit of a place and how that spirit continues to shape who we are.

M+ presents Lee Mingwei: Guernica in Sand, a large-scale installation and performance to be staged in The Studio. Taking Pablo Picasso’s iconic 1937 masterpiece Guernica, painted in response to the violence of the Spanish Civil War, as its departure point, Lee Mingwei recreates this painting in sand—a material that connotes impermanence and instability. This meticulously crafted work references the indigenous and religious traditions of sand paintings found around the world. Towards the end of the display, a live performance will take place in which visitors are invited to walk on the sand painting. Four performers will then gently sweep the sand in spontaneous movements that simultaneously destroy and recreate the image anew.

The performance is scheduled to take place in late June. Please check this webpage closer to the date for additional details.

PhillipsX’s selling exhibition explores Picasso's deep affinity with animals as captured through his works across multiple mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, and ceramics. From the graceful lines of doves to the powerful forms of bulls, Picasso’s animals are more than subjects; they are icons, muses, and metaphors that reflect the artist’s complex relationship with nature. His representations reveal not only his playful spirit and artistic range, but also his sensitivity to the untamed beauty of the animal world, challenging viewers to see animals through his eyes: as companions, symbols, and powerful conveyors of emotion.

Venue address: G/F & 3F, WKCDA Tower, West Kowloon Cultural District

To coincide with Art Month in Hong Kong, Young Soy Gallery is proud to present a group exhibition in a vacant office in Central with five Hong Kong artists, including Go Hung, Louie Jaubere, OBSRVR, Plastered 8 and Riya Chandiramani. Titled “RE:URGENT”, the exhibition takes on the urgency to confront and evoke reflections on the inequities and systemic challenges and power structures that govern our day-to-day in a humorous manner.

The five featured artists reflect in their artistic practices that artists are not mythical creatures, but are ordinary people who walk among us. They are “contemporary” artists as they live under the same contexts as we do; their artworks are manifestations of their experiences and observations of the same “contemporary” moment we share with them.

The dragon has taken countless forms through the centuries: in ancient China, it was reserved for religious or imperial use; today, it is a symbol of prosperity widely applied in everyday life and on special occasions. Through the dragon, this display of CHAT Collection objects questions and attempts to answer how traditional motifs are sustained and reinterpreted, how they gain character, and how the success of their contemporary interpretations is measured. The display also aims to create dialogue with the seasonal exhibition by expanding on understandings of traditional motifs often featured in folk craft.

M+, Asia’s first global museum of contemporary visual culture in the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong, proudly announces Picasso for Asia: A Conversation, a groundbreaking Special Exhibition featuring more than sixty masterpieces from the late 1890s to the early 1970s by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) alongside works by Asian and Asian-diasporic artists selected from the M+ Collections.

Co-curated by M+ and Musée national Picasso-Paris (MnPP), the exhibition will be co-presented with the French May Arts Festival. Picasso for Asia: A Conversation will be held at M+ from 15 March to 13 July 2025. This exhibition is a significant milestone, as it marks the first instance in which masterpieces from the Musée national Picasso-Paris are being shown together with works from a museum collection in Asia. It will showcase Picasso’s enduring influence and relevance by putting the master artist’s works in dialogue with Asian contemporary artworks.

Picasso for Asia: A Conversation is co-curated by Doryun Chong, Deputy Director, Curatorial, and Chief Curator, M+, and François Dareau, Research Fellow, Musée national Picasso-Paris, supported by Hester Chan, Curator, Collections, M+. The exhibition adopts a new, unique perspective to interpret Picasso’s legacy, exploring complex relationships between origin and reception, invention and adaptation, and West and non-West. More than sixty masterpieces by Picasso will be on loan from MnPP, which holds the largest and most significant repository of Picasso’s works in the world. These will be in dialogue with around eighty works from the M+ Collections by more than twenty Asian and Asian-diasporic artists from the early twentieth century to the present.

From beadwork to embroidery, straw weaving to paper craft, patchwork quilts of nomadic tribes to silkscreen prints of agrarian island communities, handicraft techniques and everyday objects inherited through time immemorial have often been sources of inspiration and materials for contemporary artists. Both folk craft and contemporary art originate from humanity’s innate desires for creation, expression, exchange and identity, and are vessels for conveying emotion and reason.

Lining Revealed examines the interactions between folk craft and contemporary art by juxtaposing artworks, handicrafts and archival documents. Through the critical lens and creative manifestations of contemporary art, it reveals the historical, social and cultural significance embodied in folk craft and the role craft plays in reinvigorating contemporary vision. The exhibition also speaks to the importance of contemporary art in the continuity of cultural heritage, such as challenging the over-celebration of the handmade and encouraging us to look beyond the value frameworks and ideologies of modern society to uncover the deeper content and meaning of folk crafts.

Venue address: 45 Pak Tin Par Street, Tsuen Wan, N.T

Embroidery, beading, drawnwork – these intricate tasks were once skilfully carried out by many of our older generations. Upon closer look, they also illustrate the defining qualities of commercial craft production and circulation in 20th-century Hong Kong, such as systematisation of skilled work, female labour and leadership, adaptation for export markets, and alienation between makers and consumers.

Busy Needles examines embroidery materials from Maryknoll Convent School Foundation, drawnwork from Swatow that circulated through Hong Kong, beadwork and its cottage industry, traditional kwan kwa marriage gowns and more, at the same time encouraging alternative and personal views of craft in Hong Kong.

József Csató draws inspiration from motifs borrowed from nature, combining them with dreamlike figures and other fantastic creatures in the creation of beautifully quirky compositions that are simultaneously figurative and abstract.

Csató’s paintings speak a very unique visual language and fuse a number of art-historical references in his world of fantasy. His compositions often feature totemic figures and hybrids reminiscent of ancient, prehistoric cultures and civilisations, which the artist deliberately fuses with European compositional schemas such as still life, landscape or even portraiture. In his unfettered visual world, characterised by humour and playfulness, it is not unusual for strange forms resembling plants and anthropomorphic hybrid figures to emerge from the surfaces of his brightly coloured paintings. His figures and forms are part of a kind of psychedelic and personal symbolism, in which the amorphous shapes seem to represent real, existing beings.

Opening reception: 15 March, 3-6m

‘Take Turns’ by Hong Kong artist Wing Po So is a newly commissioned exhibition at Para Site that examines the shifting dynamics among nature, the body, and materiality using Chinese medicine drawers as vessels. Growing up in a family-run Chinese medicine shop, So was immersed in the world of materia medica, and this upbringing has deeply influenced her artistic practice. Central to the exhibition are salvaged drawers from now-defunct traditional Chinese pharmacies in Hong Kong, reimagined as sites of transformative healing. 

The exhibition presents works across three ‘islands’ within Para Site’s tenth-floor space, anchored by a central wooden structure inspired by generative systems. The immersive installation integrates Chinese herbs, rocks, kinetic sculptures, 3D-printed objects, sonic rhythms and more, creating an ecosystem where the boundaries between the organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate, dissolve. ‘Take Turns’ is curated by Yuanyu Li.

As a highlight of 'Art March 2025', the HKPM will present the special exhibition 'A Movable Feast: The Culture of Food and Drink in China' from March 19 to June 18, 2025 in Gallery 8. Food culture is a vital component of traditional Chinese heritage, boasting a rich and diverse history. This exhibition will take the audience through a feast that traverses spiritual, cultural, and physical spaces. It explores the culinary culture and lifestyle of ancient Chinese people through the evolution of food vessels, eating practices, and traditions, presenting approximately 110 exquisite works. These objects, primarily on loan from The Palace Museum, span from the Neolithic period (c. 10000 BCE – c. 2000BCE) to the Qing dynasty (1644–1911). Additional works on display will come from the British Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, as well as museums in Hong Kong.

gdm Hong Kong is pleased to present ”TSANG Kin-Wah: T  REE O  GO  D EVIL,“ the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. ”T  REE O  GO  D EVIL“ is an immersive experience that probes at the fragile core of morality.

The title of the exhibition, “T REE O GO D EVIL,” invokes the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the story of Adam and Eve's premature consumption of the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil represents a pivotal moment of moral awakening. By acquiring this forbidden knowledge, they ushered in an awareness of the duality of good and evil, a concept that would come to be seen as the root of sin. The gallery space is transformed to imitate the Garden of Eden, the site of Golgotha, and the scene depicted in Francisco Goya's haunting “Disasters of War” print series, Grande hazaña! Con muertos! (A Heroic Feat! With Dead Men!).

Through rich spatial and visual elements, ”T  REE O  GO  D EVIL“  explores moral ambiguity, human brutality, and the instability of ideas and values.

The UK-based artist and filmmaker Maeve Brennan explores the legacy of human impact on the environment and unearths hidden narratives within society’s dominant narratives. Led by an investigative approach, her works span moving image, installation, sculpture, and printed media.

Central to Brennan’s practice is research focusing particularly on ecological issues, obscured material past, and underground economies. Despite grappling with complex structures and systems, Brennan engages with her subjects intimately, drawing from chance encounters, personal experiences, and long-term relationships.

Presenting her works for the first time in Asia, this exhibition brings together works from The Goods, an ongoing project that delves into the international traffic in looted antiquities. Also debuting in the exhibition is a new film that traces stolen objects back to Southern Italy, weaving together local stories and anecdotes to understand the impact of archeological excavation on the region’s landscape and communities.

Ahead of Sotheby’s Modern & Contemporary Auction, highlights from these offerings will be available for public viewing in a preview exhibition at Sotheby’s Maison at Landmark Chater. For the first time, the Modern & Contemporary Art Auction will coincide with Hong Kong Art Month, a month-long celebration of arts and culture in the city and the region.

Attention, art aficionados, weirdness enthusiasts, and connoisseurs of the gloriously bizarre! JPS Gallery Hong Kong is about to be invaded by the delightfully twisted mind of artist Joe Foti. Born in Queens, New York, in 1962, Foti has been orchestrating visual marvels for the luxury brand Chrome Hearts' Art and Science Division since 1990. His artistic vision can be likened to that of a modern-day alchemist, creating art that is a harmonious amalgamation of disparate objects that, against all odds, coalesce into cohesive and thought-provoking masterpieces. Opening on March 20th, Foti's first solo exhibition, "Souvenirs, Novelties, Party Tricks", in Hong Kong, will be one part fever dream, two parts nostalgia, and a whole lot of "What the F*** is that?"

Kiang Malingue is pleased to present “Three Stories: Monsters, Opium, Time”, an exhibition of recent films and video installations by Ho Tzu Nyen. This is the esteemed artist's second exhibition with Kiang Malingue, showcasing three independent bodies of work: “Night March of Hundred Monsters” (2025), O for Opium (2023), and a suite of more than forty “Timepieces” (2023), first shown at Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo in 2024.

Known for critically reflecting upon the construction of history, myth, ideas and identities by working across a range of media in the past two decades, Ho continues to explore subjects as diverse as yōkai (monsters, demons or spectres as they are known in Japan); the history of opium war; and the concept of time in particular manifestations. “Three Stories: Monsters, Opium, Time” is a structured exhibition that alludes to trailokya or the three realms, the religious division of the world into three domains: the netherworld, the earth, and heaven.

When a Cuban looks at the sea, it evokes the isolation and pain of thousands of families, the anxiety, and the psychological frustration of living in a divided country. The sea becomes a wall or a barbed-wire fence delimiting one’s destiny.

- Yoan Capote

Ben Brown Fine Arts Hong Kong is delighted to announce Yoan Capote: Mixed Feelings, an evocative exhibition of new works by acclaimed Cuban artist Yoan Capote on view from 22 March to 21 June 2025. In this presentation, Capote weaves together the sublime beauty of the Cuban landscape with the weight of its turbulent socio-political history. As its title suggests, Mixed Feelings explores duality – love and disillusionment, belonging and estrangement, hope and despair – and captures the paradoxes of the artist’s homeland in works that speak to global themes of migration and political turbulence. Capote’s meditations on Cuba’s fraught realities
extend far beyond its physical and ideological borders, resonating powerfully with the shifting political landscape of Hong Kong – a city and an island where the erosion of autonomy has fostered an increasing sense of insularity. Through his exploration of the ambivalent and often contradictory emotions that arise from living at the threshold of self-governance, Capote reveals the universal tensions of contested identity and political uncertainty.

Axel Vervoordt Gallery is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition of Cambodian artist Sopheap Pich at its Hong Kong space. This new group of 12 works reflects Cambodia’s current societal conditions and history while paying homage to nature, expressed through wall reliefs and glass sculptures. The wall relief works recall corrugated roofs, using recycled aluminium and found rice pots, showcasing the everyday cityscape of the country, while a hanging sculpture resembles lungs, crafted from glass, bamboo strips, and copper, embracing the possibilities of materials. Pich’s works explore materiality and become a confluence point through his labour-intensive creative process. Furthermore, an artist talk moderated by John Tain is scheduled for 27 March 2025 (Thursday) from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Sopheap Pich (b. 1971, Battambang, Cambodia) is one of the most celebrated contemporary artists in Southeast Asia. Pich is known for creating timeless, minimalist sculptures and wall reliefs using regionally ubiquitous materials such as bamboo, rattan, and aluminium. "Materials hold infinite possibilities," Pich says, placing absolute trust in the power of materiality to convey social and political histories, collective traumas, or personal memories that Cambodians experienced during the radical era under the Khmer Rouge. Through his painstaking and labor-intensive process, Pich’s artistic practice serves as a fundamental act of connecting the past, present, and future.

In her practice, Osaka-born artist Sasaoka Yuriko explores the ambiguous relationship between humans and the natural world through gesamtkunstwerk installations that reveal surrealist, immersive landscapes. Drawing inspiration from animism, masquerade, theater, puppetry, and Osaka’s comedy traditions, her work delves into fundamental questions around agency, mortality, and the narratives we tell ourselves.

For “Animale,” Sasaoka investigated the historical roles of animals in society—from fables and pets to their use in political diplomacy and labor. Her research began with the story of Wojtek, a Syrian brown bear who became a symbol of resilience during World War II. Discovered as an orphaned cub, Wojtek was sold to Polish soldiers and integrated into their military operations, where he reportedly carried ammunition and adopted human habits like smoking and drinking coffee. After the war, he was gifted to Edinburgh Zoo, where a memorial still stands in his honor. Building on Wojtek’s life story and his mirroring of human behavior, Sasaoka expanded her research to other cases of working animals through residencies and projects in Berlin, Edinburgh, and Japan.

HKWalls Festival is an annual street art and mural painting festival with various activities showcasing the talent of local and international artists in Hong Kong during the Hong Kong art month each March. This year, the event will take place in the heart of the city - the Central And Western District.  

"The Garden of Resemblances" is an exhibition inspired by the ancient doctrine of signatures, a belief that the visible forms of natural objects reflect their hidden properties, particularly in medicine. While modern science has rejected this notion, its evocative associations provide a rich springboard for artistic imagination. Drawing on Michel Foucault’s concept of the episteme from The Order of Things, the work examines the shifts in knowledge structures from traditional to modern thought.

By transforming the exhibition space into a dreamlike, otherworldly environment, this exhibition features kinetic installations that blurs the boundaries between nature, technology and imagination. The garden serves as an experiential landscape, inviting visitors to wander in the liminal space between the real and the imagined. Integrating the organic with the mechanical and the natural with the artificial, the installation offers a meditative journey through the interplay of historical imagination and contemporary innovation.

Blindspot Gallery is pleased to present “Sin Wai Kin: The Time of Our Lives”, marking the artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from March 24 to May 10, 2025. The exhibition features Sin’s latest video works: The Time of Our Lives (2024), The Fortress (2024), and Asleep (2024). These will be shown alongside face wipes imprinted with the make-up of Sin’s characters featured in the films. This marks the final stop of a touring solo exhibition that has travelled to Accelerator (Stockholm), and is on show at Kunsthall Trondheim (Trondheim) until March 16, and at Canal Projects (New York) until March 29.

“Sin Wai Kin: The Time of Our Lives” immerses audiences into the artist’s cinematic multiverse, comprising a recurring repertoire of characters, all played by Sin. The works in the exhibition draw upon science-fiction, metaphysics, cinema, drag performance, history, theater, and architecture to challenge the dichotomous and binary perceptions of time, objectivity and identity. The notion of the stage, the scripted lines, the role, and the performer takes precedence across the works, prompting contemplation as to how reality is often built on pre-existing narratives and reified constructs. Sin’s works untethers this notion through speculative fiction and fantasy world-building, presenting the artist as a carrier bag of fiction.

These auctions will showcase an exquisite collection of 20th/21st Century Art, kicking off the year-round sales calendar in 2025. For the first time ever, the Hong Kong Spring Sales will coincide with Hong Kong Art Month, and will certainly convene collectors from around the globe.

The auction series features remarkable works by modern and contemporary art masters. The 20th/21st Evening Sale will highlight remarkable works by legendary surrealist René Magritte and renowned contemporary artist Liu Ye, following an exclusive exhibition co-hosted by Christie’s at High Peak last April. This exhibition brought together iconic works by Liu Ye alongside several significant pieces by Magritte, aligning with the centennial celebration of Surrealism. This dynamic intersection of art not only celebrates the transformative power of their visions and contributions to the art world, but also reflects Christie’s ongoing commitment to empowering collectors by providing access to extraordinary works.

White Cube is pleased to present the first exhibition in Asia of painting by American artist Lynne Drexler (1928–99). 

Coinciding with Art Basel Hong Kong, ‘Lynne Drexler: The Seventies’ will debut never-before-seen works created during a pivotal decade in the artist’s practice.

Affiliated with the second-generation Abstract Expressionist movement, the artist’s vivid chromatic compositions reflect a breadth of stylistic influences, drawing from Impressionism, Fauvism and Pointillism, as well as classical music and the natural landscape. Executed through tessellated rectangles of paint, Drexler’s colour fields emanate an organic, kinetic dynamism.

Gallery address: 50 Connaught Road Central

Through the works of 18 artists, this exhibition traces the evolution of ink art from mid-20th century modernist experiments to present-day innovations. The selected works, organized along the themes of Form, Narrative, and Materiality, demonstrate how artists have both challenged and sustained the philosophical and aesthetic foundations of the ink medium.

David Zwirner is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by New Zealand–born and Los Angeles–based artist Emma McIntyre (b. 1990) at the gallery’s Hong Kong location. This is the artist’s first solo show in Asia and her second exhibition with David Zwirner, following An echo, a stain (2023), a solo presentation of her work at the gallery’s East 69th Street location in New York. McIntyre creates vivid abstractions imbued with chromatic and gestural energy. Made with oils and unconventional substances like oxidized iron, her instinctual yet deeply considered works explore the alchemical possibilities of the painted medium and expand traditional understandings of landscape and the natural world. McIntyre’s practice is protean and rhizomatic; each painting shares its roots with the ones before and after it, enacting an endlessly transformative system of generation and discovery. Building on her investigations into process, material, and divergent lineages of art history, the paintings on view in Hong Kong open new avenues of dialogue between the creative drive of the artist’s hand and the forces of physics and nature. McIntyre has been represented by David Zwirner since February 2024.

Dominique Fung (born 1987, works in New York) is a Canadian artist with ancestry in Hong Kong and Shanghai, whose practice explores the subliminal liminal territory in which tradition, memory and legacy seep through our collective subconsciousness. Through her interest in casting light on overlooked or forgotten stories and her use of specific historical artifacts she infuses with living qualities and complex non-linear narrative paths, she models a new, broader, alternative space of belonging.

Opening reception: March 24th, 2.00-8.00PM

Whitestone Gallery Hong Kong is proud to present Miwa Komatsu’s solo exhibition, showcasing the latest series of works by the artist. The creative philosophy proposed by Miwa Komatsu (born1984), “The Great Harmonisation”, is a theory of life suggesting that all living beings are equal at the soul level and that every entity can coexist while maintaining its individuality. At its core lies the primal sense of awe that every human possesses a universal sacred feeling that transcends specific religions.

Throughout history and across cultures, mountains have been regarded as places of power and mysticism, home to deities, ascetic sages, and creatures of myth. Depicted as thresholds between the mortal world and the divine, their rugged peaks form the border where human ambition meets the unknown. Thorpe’s new paintings explore our fractured relationship with these culturally significant landscapes, through contrasts of tone and texture, challenging our assumptions of what is marginal and what is teeming with life and meaning. In so doing, he inverts our expectations of the exterior and the interior; and invites a conscious examination of interiority.

Born in Paris in 1911, and working in New York from 1938 until her death in 2010, Louise Bourgeois is recognized as one of the most important and influential artists of the past century. Oscillating between figuration and abstraction, and ranging from intimate drawings to large-scale installations, her work expresses a variety of emotions through a visual vocabulary of formal and symbolic equivalents. For over seven decades, Bourgeois’s creative process was a form of exorcism: a way of reconstructing memories and emotions in order to free herself from their grasp. Opening on 25 March and on view through 10 May 2025, Hauser & Wirth will present Bourgeois’s second solo exhibition with the gallery in Hong Kong, organized in collaboration with The Easton Foundation. The show brings together a selection of works from the 1960s to 2008, including rarely exhibited sculptures and works on paper. A three-meter-long fountain installation, ‘Mamelles (fountain)’ (1991), and a steel and marble sculpture, ‘Spider’ (2000), will be shown in Asia for the first time.

Opening Reception: 24 Mar, 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Emma Webster’s landscape paintings teleport viewers into the otherworldly. The places she depicts, convincing and hallucinatory, merge spatial expectations with mystifying fantasy. The paintings come from a hybrid sketching-sculpting process within screen-space. Webster first constructs scenes in virtual reality, which she then embellishes with theatrical illumination, to create natural vistas that relish in artifice, drama, and distortion. Of her VR models, Webster says: “Working from within the still-life is more akin to how we go about the world. There can be no ‘outside.’”

Emma Webster (b. 1989) is a graduate of Stanford University (BA, 2011) and Yale University, where she received an MFA in Painting in 2018. In 2021, Webster published Lonescape: Green, Painting, & Mourning Reality, a collection of musings on landscape and image-making in an increasingly digital world.

HOO Mojong (1924-2012), a trailblazer in modern art, stands as a key figure in bridging Eastern and Western artistic languages. As one of the most prominent Chinese female artists following Pan Yu-Lin, she has become a significant representative of Asian modernism in the 20th century.

This Retrospective exhibition takes place during a significant moment: the centenary of Hoo Mojong’s birth. Hoo was born in Shanghai and left her hometown in her early 20s. Her extensive travels and residencies around the world not only enriched her personal experiences but also infused her artistic creations with multicultural inspiration. From Shanghai to Taipei, then to Brazil and Spain, and finally settling in Paris where she created art for 37 years as a painter and printmaker. She returned to China in 1996, museums and institutions throughout China have since celebrated her distinct explorations of bodies and mundane, yet playful, objects. “Objects of Play ” will comprehensively trace her artistic creation features nearly 100 artworks including paintings, prints, drawings, and archival materials from various periods of Hoo’s career, recapping her integration of Chinese and Western art styles and investigations of the spirituality and power of ordinary life.

Wu Jiaru grew up in a typical Guangdong city in southern China, an area shaped by the entertainment, aesthetic and lifestyle influences that entered the mainland through Hong Kong in the 1990s. Within her practice, Jiaru examines these cultural exchanges between mainland China and Hong Kong alongside questions of identity and belonging through a variety of mediums, including sculpture, video and painting.

In To the Naiad's House (2022), Jiaru's first exhibition with Flowers Gallery, she constructs a memory palace, drawing on her own childhood memories of a room in the restaurant her mother owned (known as a Jiu Lou). Functioning as both a restaurant and entertainment venue, Jiaru describes the Jiu Lou as an aesthetic hybrid inundated with the optimism of economic expansion and the desire for individual freedom brought on by social transformation.

White Cube Hong Kong is pleased to present an exhibition of paintings by Salvatore Emblema (1929–2006), marking the first solo presentation in Asia of works by the Italian artist. Born in 1929 in Terzigno, Naples, Emblema, with his singular focus on the qualities of light, space and transparency, diverged from his contemporaries in Italy’s post-war avant-garde. Inspired by the landscape of his upbringing – a volcanic red-zone on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius – Emblema worked predominantly with natural materials, extracting his pigments from soils, stones and agricultural materials.
