Contemporary by Angela Li is proud to present a group exhibition, "Still Be-Life", curated by Hong Kong curator, Shirky Chan, from 15 January to 28 February 2026, showcasing works by seven Hong Kong artists, including Jess Lau, Doris Ng, Natalie Ng, Lukas Tam, Tsang Chui Mei, Annie Wan and Candyce Wong.

We may believe still life is a quiet art. A captured moment. A bowl of fruit, forever fresh; a vase of flowers, eternally in bloom. But if you listen closely, you can hear the hum.
 
This exhibition, “Still Be-Life”, is an invitation to listen. It is the second chapter in a conversation that began by questioning a genre's assumptions. Now, we venture deeper—into the space where objects begin to speak. They tell stories of love and loss, of present and memory, of a world thrumming with life just beneath the surface of the still. The artists here are not arrangers of form, but translators of voice. They stage quiet dramas and give language to the seemingly mute.

Opening reception: Thursday, 15 January 2026, from 5 to 8:00 p.m., with the curator and six artists present.

Gallery address: G/F, 248 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan
