de Sarthe is pleased to present Hong Kong artist Eugene Lun (b. 1998)'s first solo exhibition with the gallery, The Forbidden Happiness, concluding de Sarthe's sixth annual artist residency (deSAR). Featuring Augmented Reality (AR)-infused prints and paintings in an immersive setting, the artworks have been created during the two-month residency based on the artist's renewed curiosity and exploration of human psychology on adhering to society's values and rules. The exhibition illustrates various scenarios where the comedic sausage character [Cheong1] [Cheong4] has differing responses in everyday life circumstances while exploring boundaries and social conventions in modern society. The artist aims to provoke audiences to retrace their instinctive acts and reasoning behind their habitual actions when they encounter the aforesaid scenarios. The Forbidden Happiness opens on 10 September and runs until 30 September 2022.

Gallery address: 20/F Global Trade Square, 21 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Wong Chuk Hang
