Gagosian is pleased to announce Harbour Fragments, an exhibition of new paintings by Rick Lowe. These works abstract from aerial views of Hong Kong that feature sections of Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong Island, and Kowloon Peninsula, interpreting the dynamic metropolis. On view at the gallery’s location in Hong Kong’s Central district from September 11 through November 1, this is Lowe’s first solo exhibition in Asia.

Taking an exploratory approach to geography and abstraction, Lowe’s practice encompasses both studio work and community-based projects that address urban transformation. His vibrant canvases employ the visual languages of painting, collage, and cartography. These paintings emerge from an improvisational approach derived in part from games of dominoes that Lowe plays with residents worldwide, adapting their intricate patterns and juxtapositions to foreground aspects of urban structures and civic relationships.

Opening reception: Thursday, September 11, 6–8pm

Gallery address: 7/F Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, Central
