Denny Dimin Gallery is pleased to announce Joy As An Act of Resistance, the first solo exhibition in Hong Kong by Amir H. Fallah.

Amir Fallah is known for exploring portraiture and the representation of identity through his painting, murals, sculpture and installation. His esoteric portraits, where the physical characteristics of his subjects are often masked, hidden or generally absent, offer vignettes into their world; ornate with depicted objects and patterns. Alongside the stories they offer of their subjects, Fallah’s paintings act as historical cultural catalogues of imagery assimilated from a variety of global references; tumblr, museum collections, fashion magazines – “debris of the work that I’m stringing together as these loose texts” – and reconstitutes them into visual plays, creating modern day parables.

Gallery address: No. 612 Remex Center, No. 42 Wong Chuck Hang Road
