THE SHOPHOUSE is pleased to present Just Looking, the first solo exhibition in Asia by artist Sarah Fripon. It is an exhibition that invites viewers to linger on the overlooked fragments of daily life—cash bills, coffee cups, hygiene products—and reconsider their embedded meanings. Her paintings do not seek to narrate or moralize but instead create a space where the familiar becomes uncanny, where the mundane is defamiliarized just enough to provoke thought. By borrowing imagery from advertising, domestic kitsch, and obsolete media, Fripon constructs visual constellations that are at once recognizable and strangely dislocated. The exhibition is less a statement than an open question: What do these everyday systems reveal about us?    

Opening reception: 17 May 2025 (Saturday) 2 - 6 PM

Gallery address: 4 Second Lane, Tai Hang
