Ora-Ora is delighted to announce a vibrant new solo show by Beijing-based artist Huang Dan at its Tai Kwun gallery space. Opening on February 5, the title is Towards Zero, an allusion to the artist’s journey into the heart of minimalism. This is Ora-Ora’s first exhibition of its 20th anniversary year and coincides with the advent of the Year of the Horse.

 The exhibition presents new paintings on xuan paper in ink and mineral pigment, focusing on recurring subjects of horses, rabbits, and pines. In Towards Zero, painting becomes a visceral, bodily rhythm. The ebb and flow of breath and emotion imprint a measured tempo onto the paper, paring image and narrative back to essentials—form, rhythm, and presence.

The horse returns as a central figure. For Huang’s brush, its form is akin to landscape: a body steady as a mountain, eyes as clear as water. Works in warm ochres and deep blacks evoke silent power, strength, and tender empathy without excess narrative.

Gallery address: 105-107, Barrack Block, Tai Kwun
