Wangsim is pleased to present the third edition of Wangsim Selects: Hong Kong Showroom. The group exhibition features works by 8 important contemporary artists. Some of the highlighted pieces were made before the artists achieved international fame, offering a rare art-viewing experience while the physical art fair season returns to the city. The program also creates an extraordinary dialogue from artist to artist through shared media. An early charcoal drawing by highly celebrated Belgian artist Luc Tuymans will be on display. With the artist’s signature muted palette and eerie lights, the drawing is related to an important series of works by the artist, which sheds light on the history of Congo. Skilled painter New York-based Christopher Parrot firmly believes in the eventfulness of the gallery space. With charcoal drawings (Sins of Empire, 2017; Great Divide, 2012; Sirens, 2008) depicting fully clothed and nude people against the white wall space, the artist focuses on the history of human social roles and the visual art in general. Additional works and collectables in various media by Matthew Barney, Anna Leonhardt and Andy Warhol will also be featured in this edition of the showroom presentation.
