Missed calls drift between Durban, Cape Town, Japan and Hong Kong, from Mother Nature to urban dwellers, until four artists from Hong Kong and South Africa unite, breathing life into anthropomorphic creatures and nature’s cadence, blending skyscrapers and natural wonders.
Young Soy Gallery is proud to present Missed Calls, a group exhibition featuring the works of Hong Kong based Japanese artist TAXA & Hong Kong artist ZLISM, alongside South African artists Ross Turpin & Resoborg.
As the four artists come together in the city having been over 10,000 km apart, their reunion prompts them to respond to the missed calls from one another, then to nature’s unanswered calls through art. Along with their distinct experiences that come from their diverse backgrounds, they unravel vibrant narratives inspired by the spirit and soul of their familiar land, intertwining wildlife with cityscapes, bridging the distance across continents.
Opening reception: November 14th, 6:00pm - Late
Gallery address: G/F, 40A Upper Lascar Row, Sheung Wan
