THE SHOPHOUSE is pleased to present the second solo exhibition of London-based artist Sam Creasey in Hong Kong, Dark Waters, featuring a new body of work on canvas and mixed media works. Creasey's paintings occupy an uneasy territory between familiarity and estrangement, showcasing his profound concern for place and identity. It interrogate how the physical structures we inhabit—streets, offices, public utilities, and governmental buildings—both reveal and conceal the system of power that shape everyday life. The exhibition extends to consider not only the psychic weight of built environments but also reflecting on underlaying issues rooted in late-stage capitalism, rapid technological change, public services, or urban expansion, while highlighting how privatisation and profit routinely overshadow the public good.
Opening reception: 6 September 2025 (Saturday) 3 - 6 PM (Artist will be present)
Gallery address: 4 Second Lane, Tai Hang
I write about every exhibition I went to, and I go to almost every exhibition there is in Hong Kong. I shoot and edit my own photos for this blog.
I enjoy visiting artists and seeing their studios. I show them the way I see them, hopefully revealing something interesting.
I’m a proudly independent art blogger with no affiliation to any organisation. I blog because I love art and support the artists.
