White Cube Hong Kong is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Canadian artist Margaux Williamson, the artist’s first solo presentation in Asia. Produced in the last year, the works are devoid of protagonists and depict domestic interior scenes, still lifes and patches of landscape close to the artist’s home in Toronto. Executed in a predominantly earthy, sombre palette, Williamson’s compositions alternate between acute detail and abstract gesture, and are characterized by their gradations of darkness and strong artificial or directional light. ‘For this series I felt a slight repulsion to daylight,’ the artist explains, ‘and a strong pull to the ground or to the dark and to the glow of reflected light.’
