Liu Yangwen: Explosante-Fixe at 3812 Gallery


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

"Explosante-Fixe," a term originating from French writer and poet André Breton, signifies a momentary fusion of opposites that sparks profound emotions. This concept, embraced by Boulez in his musical endeavors, serves as the foundation for Liu's dialogue between bold brushstrokes and meticulously crafted compositions in this showcase, delving into the delicate balance between chaos and order.

Liu's exhibited works delve into his recurring themes of florals, portraits, and landscapes, featuring more fluid compositions and brushwork that echo Boulez's exploration of controlled chaos in music. This exhibition, running from 23 September to 31 October 2025, sets the stage for a captivating interplay between visual art and music.

"I might subconsciously create a sense of order—there is structure. And yet, as we discussed earlier, the surface is explosive, bursting outward, radial, and quite sharp. But the inner core—the internal energy, the underlying structure—is fundamentally stable." Liu Yangwen stated.

Opening Reception on Tuesday, 23 September 2025 at 5-8pm. The artist will be present.
