Gagosian is pleased to present an exhibition by Adam McEwen in Hong Kong comprising a cross section of his work, including new paintings as well as sculptures made in graphite, a material with which he is closely linked. The artist’s first solo exhibition in Asia, it will open on February 2.

McEwen’s practice tends to foreground and isolate banal objects—a yoga mat, a drinking fountain, plastic cups—to the degree that they become unstuck from their familiar, reassuring meanings. His sculptures in graphite or cast iron, for all intents and purposes straightforward and accurate renditions, suggest a sense of the uncanny and a feeling of slight displacement.
