3812 Gallery Hong Kong is excited to present “Becoming”, a solo exhibition by Chinese contemporary artist Shang Chengxiang, the artist’s first show in Hong Kong, from 15th June to 14th July. The exhibition will showcase a comprehensive selection of Shang's oeuvre from the past decade. Shang specialises in organising pictorial elements in a surrealist style of wild fantasy worlds, creating distinct wonderlands between reality and imagination. Shang Chengxiang was born in Shenyang in 1985 and graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in 2008. Since then he has been working professionally as an artist and has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions domestically and globally. Partially inspired by the Surrealist master René Magritte, Shang’s works are influenced by this style yet remain true to Shang’s own unique presentation and subject, aiming to make artistic breakthroughs. Shang often paints several series of works simultaneously, in which dreams and subconscious are a major source of inspirations.
