Kiang Malingue is pleased to present at its Hong Kong location “Subrisio Saltat”, Grace Carney’s first solo exhibition in Asia. The exhibition features a selection of new paintings and drawings from 2025.

Carney was born in 1992 in Minnesota and is based in New York. Through painting and drawing, Carney tackles personal experiences, memories, and relationships by acknowledging vulnerability and precariousness, starting each artwork from a position of discomfort or self-imposed limitation. Major pieces in the current exhibition including Subrisio Saltat (2025), D for Duration (2025) and The Rose of Onlooking (2025) took their titles from Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke’s seminal work Duino Elegies. Instead of narrating stories, however, Carney is concerned with orchestrating harmony and moments of dissonance, balancing forces, light, gravity, and heaviness of the paint in her work, while leaving the right to read, interpret and make intertextual associations to the viewer.

Opening: Thur, 6 November, 6 – 8 PM

Gallery address: 10 Sik On Street, Wanchai
