Objecting Reality at WOAW Gallery (Sun Street)


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

WOAW Gallery is pleased to announce Objecting Reality, a group exhibition curated by Saša Bogojev. Taking place during Hong Kong Art Month, the group exhibition showcases recent paintings of 10 distinguished international artists: Niklas Asker, Jennifer Carvalho, Ginny Casey, Suzuki Hidetaka, Quinten Ingelaere, Heesoo Kim, Damien Meade, Filip Mirazović, Ken Nurenberg, and Wedhar Riyadi. The exhibition focuses on the painting's capability to petrify anything into a still image by converting the painted flat surface into an illusion of a lifeless object within a three-dimensional scene. "Art is a lie." "Painting is an illusion." These notions reflect profound philosophical and artistic perspectives on the nature of art and its connection to reality. They express insightful concepts regarding the role of art in representing and interpreting the world. In this regard, the legacy of painting inanimate objects is a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with the transfiguration of the ordinary into the extraordinary.
