Zao Wou-ki, the world-famous Chinese-French artist living in Paris since 1948, has had an endless flow of solo exhibitions punctuated with numerous retrospectives. His works are found in major museum collections throughout the world.

Alisan Fine Arts was the first gallery in Hong Kong to exhibit Zao Wou-ki’s works on canvas and paper initially in 1993, then in 1996, followed by lithographs and etchings in 1999. In 2003, an important retrospective was held at the “Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume” in Paris. In the same year, our gallery was the first to put on an exhibition dedicated to his watercolours and some of his early oil paintings.

In joining the French May celebrations, Alisan Fine Arts is proud to present an impressive collection of Zao Wou-ki’s oil paintings, lithographs, etchings, watercolours and ink works executed between 1949 and 1994.
