WOAW Gallery is proud to present ANTICS, a solo presentation by artist Baldur Helgason. This is his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong in association with Ojiri Gallery, exhibiting at its location on 9 Queen’s Road Central. ANTICS will open on Wednesday, November 9th from 6-8pm.
 
Baldur Helgason (b. 1984) is a painter from Iceland. He moved to the United States twelve years ago to study art, and stayed behind after meeting his partner. The works in this series are inspired by Helgason’s time in his native Iceland, where he found himself in the midst of the pandemic. After a period of isolation, Helgason was possessed by a hedonistic impulse to “let loose, meet up, get drunk and party,” and to channel his inner Dionysus—the Greek god of harvest, festivity, and pleasure.
