Axel Vervoordt Gallery is pleased to present the group exhibition, Vessel of Emptiness, in Hong Kong. The symbolic power of the vessel serves as a gateway to understanding the profound concept of emptiness. Centred around five moon jars by Korean artist Kwon Dae-Sup, the exhibition features works by Shi Zhiying, Shen Chen, Otto Boll, Norio Imai, and Yuko Nasaka. These artists collectively explore the delicate interplay between presence and absence, form and void, as expressed through diverse artistic perspectives.
In a world preoccupied with the tangible and the absolute, Vessel of Emptiness offers a sanctuary for contemplation. Each artwork acts as a vessel, beckoning viewers to explore the intricate relationship between form and void. Through their creations, these artists unveil a paradox resonant with śūnyatā: these vessels, though seemingly empty, overflow with the fullness of existence. By embracing the beauty of the unseen and the interconnectedness of all things, visitors are invited to look beyond the physical and uncover the infinite possibilities within the void.
