Exhibitions

Adrift in Time is an exhibition of photographs taken by Chun Wai in France in the 1990s. Born in Hong Kong and educated at the École supérieure des beaux-arts de Mulhouse, the artist toured Europe on a quest for the beginning of time, understanding that everything he photographed had a finite start and end. This physical and philosophical journey caused the artist to realise that his insights into the relationship suspended between predestination and chance were leading to an expansive form of loneliness—a state he felt was similar to the torment experienced by the ancient Chinese poets.

Opera Gallery Hong Kong is honoured to present Reverie: Landscapes by André Brasilier. A selection of over 20 paintings will take us into the lyrical realm of romance created by the French painter, populated by spirited horses, enchanted forests, classical and jazz music, candied snowfall and pensive women lit by moonlight. Through Brasilier's paintings, we can immerse ourselves in a timeless and fleeting moment, in which human beings live in harmony with nature, which is even more precious during these difficult times.

Alisan Fine Arts is honoured to announce its fifth solo exhibition for renowned Chinese-French artist Zao Wou-ki (1921-2013). Tracing Zao's extensive career are works from 1949 to 2004, including oil paintings, ink paintings, watercolour and print. This exhibition is the last in a series that the gallery has organised to mark its year-long 40th anniversary celebration. Also on display is a selection of archival material highlighting the longstanding friendship between the gallery and the artist. Catalogue available.

Gallery EXIT is pleased to present Hong Kong Time Rift, the first solo exhibition of Daphné Mandel at the gallery. The exhibition will showcase the artist’s assembled imagery reflecting Hong Kong’s past and present through a series of new mixed media works on paper and videos, inspired by the artist’s recent explorations of Hong Kong’s hidden ruins and abandoned properties forgotten in the passage of time.

2022 marks the 25th anniversary of the handover, and now is the time to look back on 1997, a pivotal year that changed the fate of our home, Hong Kong. Birdy Chu started this project in the first hour of 1997, capturing all sorts of unforgettable moments of the year. Birdy met a renowned French photographer Marc Riboud, whose exhibition Forty Years of Photography in China inspired Birdy. This HK 1997 exhibition is Birdy's tribute to him.
