Leo Gallery Hong Kong is pleased to present The Raft, a solo exhibition by British artist Dylan Doe. Taking the raft as metaphor, Doe expands “raft” from a life-saving device adrift at sea into a structural condition that temporarily underpins, supports, and shapes form in the process of becoming. Throughout this series, human figures and plant forms intertwine in states of co-growth.
In this body of work, fragmented figures and mutating plant forms emerge within carefully constructed environments. Limbs are braced, stems are supported, bodies are partially fused with external frameworks. The title The Raft carries a quiet tension. “The Raft” suggests survival and suspension, a structure that keeps one afloat when solid ground is absent. It also evokes a base, like those used in 3D printing, where delicate forms require temporary supports. In Doe’s works, these rafts do not disappear once their task is complete. They remain, in fact merge with the figures they sustain, becoming part of their anatomy.
Opening reception: Tuesday 5 May 2026 | 6-8 pm
