PODIUM is proud to present ‘Halfway Across the Rubicon’, Rotterdam-based artist Luis Xertu’s first solo presentation with the gallery and in Asia. In this new body of paintings, Xertu unfolds a tender, sun-drenched world where the fleetingness of love, beauty, and youth lingers like the last light of summer. He traces delicate passages of intimacy within and beyond friendship, attending to a bittersweet ambivalence shaped by quiet tensions, hidden desires, and unspoken affections that surface as both excess and residue through the fissures of the grammar of social life.

Opening reception: 19 September (Sat), 2 to 7 PM

Gallery address: 9/F, E Tat Factory Building, Wong Chuk Hang
