M+M Gallery is pleased to present Water Margin: Alessandro Twombly Solo Exhibition, marking the artist’s first solo presentation in Asia, featuring eight newly created works conceived specifically for Hong Kong and the region. The exhibition title, Water Margin, draws inspiration from Water Margin (Shui Hu Zhuan), one of China’s Four Great Classical Novels, which chronicles the legendary exploits of 108 outlaws of Liangshan who rise against injustice during the Song Dynasty. The “water margin” is the edge of water, the limit of order, and the birthplace of wild energy. Twombly’s canvases function as such a margin—where pigment escapes the bondage of representation, and brushstrokes become autonomous acts of life, guided by the principles of nature rather than human reason. “I don’t want to control the paint; I let it find its own place,” the artist explains.

Opening reception on November 6, from 3 to 6 PM.

Gallery address: Unit 1902, Winsome House, 73 Wyndham Street, Central
