WOAW Gallery is delighted to announce WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN AT, a solo exhibition by Scottish artist Alexander Guy, showcasing nine of his recent and earlier oil paintings. Drawing inspiration from quotidian objects and situations, the exhibition captures the post-COVID cultural vibrancy through a series of visual records, formalized by the artist's experience in Glasgow. It's a testament to the extraordinary that lies hidden in the ordinary, with a reflection on the excesses of consumerism. The exhibition will be on view from August 25 to September 22, 2023, at WOAW Gallery Central, marking Guy's first solo showing in Hong Kong.

In the swift passage of time, memories often fade, especially during these times of COVID. Yet, humanity persists in grasping at every moment and etching it into existence, transforming the intangible into something visible. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN AT is a visual souvenir of the past year in Glasgow, a time capsule for the year of 2023 that captures the essence of our times. It serves as the artist's visual record, documenting the effect of post-lockdown changes in a consumerist society. From sky-rocketing price tags to excessive packaging in Glasgow supermarkets, the anxiety, nervousness, and tension are palpable between the lines of Guy's vibrant colors. Indirectly pointing out the paranoia of the public through a significant event of modern history, the exhibition invites us to reflect on the challenges of our times through mundane and the commonplace.

Opening Reception: August 25, 6-8pm
