The Stallery proudly presents “Inner & Outer: WoA 2025”, a group show featuring 18 Hong Kong artists from different backgrounds and their practices. WoA (Works of Art) is an artist collective founded in 2019 by abstract painter Chak with the hope of ploughing an open field for conversation to happen between artists and giving them deserved exposure. First joined by fellow artists such as Simone Boon, Ernest Chang, and IV Chan, the group quickly expanded to its current size of around 50 members. Thanks to its loose structure and self-initiating nature, WoA inherits the mobility of artist-run events signified by the many open studios in Hong Kong. Members’ wish to maintain professional exchange and public exposure sprawl outside their original location, creating networks across Hong Kong and beyond.

Fast forward to 2025, the collective is presenting its fourth group show at The Stallery with a total of 19 artists. They showcase artworks that reflect on the theme of interior and exterior – the dual nature of WoA that symbolizes introspection and exchange. Some artists from the group have delved into the natural landscape and cityscape to contemplate the source of inspiration. Other artists choose to explore the realm of personal headspace with some of them even bridging boundaries between the public and the personal.

Opening reception: Saturday, 11 Jan, 2025, from 6pm

Gallery address: G/F 82A Stone Nullah Lane, Wan Chai
