MOU PROJECTS is pleased to present "Those Who Remember," Blake Daniels' first solo exhibition with the gallery as well as in Hong Kong. Seamlessly weaving together a selection of recent paintings and drawings spanning the past two years, the exhibition centers around the theme of memory and explores its profound significance in shaping human motivations encompassing beauty, love, death, adoration, and empathy. Drawing concepts and narrative inspirations from a fictitious utopian kingdom named "Land of the Pomegranate" in Yukio Mishima's novel The Temple of Dawn (1970), Daniels constructs fantastical, dreamlike landscapes in their exhibited works, populated by people in states of transfiguration entangled in scenes that oscillate between beauty, violence, intimacy, profanity, and pleasure.
Opening reception: 16 December, 2-4pm
Gallery address: 202, The Factory, 1 Yip Fat Street, Wong Chuk Hang
