Keep your eyes on that light amidst the unknown, knowing that one day when the fog is cleared, you will find yourself in the garden, surrounded by grace.

—Thomas Ngan

3812 Gallery Hong Kong is pleased to present “We Dream for that Light”, the Hong Kong young artist Thomas Ngan’s (b. 1995) first solo exhibition in 3812 Gallery. The exhibition showcases a beautiful selection of Ngan’s latest works under the core themes of Floral, Fragility of Life, and Light. Specialised in incorporating realism into a dreamy world, Ngan creates distinct realms that invite audiences to follow the light and explore infinite possibilities. “We Dream for that Light” opens on 15 November 2023 and runs through 5 January 2024, an opening reception will be held on 14 November 2023 from 6 to 8 pm.

 “We Dream for that Light” is derived from the concepts of uncertainty and hope. The artist attempts to capture the truth that lies between the fog and the motif with his vibrant brushstroke and harmonious composition. Audiences can step into a mystic world of possibility, savouring the moment when the light guides us to a fascinating garden surrounded by grace.

 For Ngan, life is an endless series of decisions until it ends, consisting of infinite paths of the unknown clouded in fog. It is probably because of his ever-changing cross-nation life experience, everything is in turbulence yet with infinite possibilities – the unknown is the necessity for hope. It becomes a key theme in Ngan’s works where he follows the “light” to construct a world of mystery.
