Nuria Mora: Waterfalls and Magpies at Whitestone Gallery


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Whitestone Gallery Hong Kong is thrilled to announce Waterfalls and Magpies, the first solo exhibition by renowned Spanish artist Nuria Mora in Hong Kong. This exhibition will explore the dual nature of interpretation and the transformative power of narrative through Mora's unique aesthetic, which combines geometric abstraction with thoughtful dialogues inspired by the urban environment.

Waterfalls and Magpies is inspired from a personal encounter between Nuria Mora and her friend during a moment of vulnerability. While caring for her friend who was feeling unwell, a solitary magpie appeared on their terrace, triggering feelings of fear and anxiety due to its association with bad luck in Western cultures. In contrast, Eastern cultures—including those in China, Korea, and India, celebrate the magpie as a symbol of good fortune, joy, and auspicious encounters. This striking contrast between interpretations prompted a deep exploration for Mora.
