The Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) presents a new special exhibition “The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Treasures of the Mughal Court from the Victoria and Albert Museum” (“Treasures of the Mughal Court”), which will be open to the public from 6 August 2025 to 23 February 2026. “Treasures of the Mughal Court” will be Hong Kong’s first comprehensive exhibition dedicated to Mughal art, celebrating the diverse artistic traditions and unparalleled craftsmanship from the “golden age” of the Mughal dynasty (1526–1857) through a display of over 100 precious artefacts. Jointly organised by the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) and the HKPM, and solely sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, this exhibition also marks the first major collaboration between a Hong Kong museum and the V&A, the world’s largest museum of decorative arts and design. Tickets for the exhibition are now available on the West Kowloon Cultural District’s online ticketing platforms and ticketing partners.

The oeuvre of the seminal painter Maria Lassnig covers an incredible lifespan of more than 70 years of intense work between the end of the Second World War and her death in 2014. At the center of her profound research into painting we find a unique interest in the relation between awareness and the human body – the artist's body –, which Lassnig calls Body Awareness. It is research that is fuelled by an occupation with philosophical and scientific theories on perception. Examples include texts by the Austrian scientist and philosopher Ernst Mach and those of her peer and close friend, the Austrian writer Oswald Wiener, with whom she undertook perceptual experiments in the 1970s.

Lassnig questions the perception beyond the visual, how our body senses as a whole. She also explores the ways in which language becomes part of such perceptions, leading to her lifelong interest in literature and friendships with such eminent poets as Paul Celan and Friederike Mayröcker. Within this research, the human body is subject to change, it is morphing constantly, sometimes even into the mythological. Titled 'Self with Dragon', this is Maria Lassnig's first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. With this selection of paintings, the show attempts to provide an insight into Lassnig's approach to such reflections and their manifestation on the canvas.

For more than five thousand years, silk was an integral part of life in China, composing an illustrious chapter in the history of Chinese civilisation and global cultural interaction. Strong yet soft, silk is woven from the fibre produced by silkworms. Its natural lustre adds to its appeal. China, the birthplace of silk, was known as Serica (State of Silk) by ancient Greeks and Romans, and China remains the world’s largest silk producer today. Sericulture, which includes mulberry cultivation, silkworm breeding, silk reeling, and silk weaving, was a remarkable creation of the ancestors and served as an important step in the origin and development of Chinese civilisation. Silk production has played a key role in the livelihood of the Chinese people, as well as in socioeconomic developments and technological innovation in China.

Silk not only helped connect diverse ethnic groups and vast regions across China but also bridged China and the rest of the world. Silk was a highly sought-after luxury good, as precious as gold, and was also a form of currency that facilitated vibrant exchanges between China and many parts of the world along the trade routes known as the Silk Roads. Silk has made unique contributions to world art: it has been widely used as a support for Chinese paintings and calligraphic works, as a canvas for artistic experiments in colour and decoration, and as a fabric for clothing.

The University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong is honoured to present Handmade and Handheld: Song to Qing Dynasty Chinese Bronzes for the Scholar’s Studio. The eighty-seven objects illustrate a remarkable cultural continuum that links ancient ritual traditions to a sophisticated literati aesthetic and intellectual life. These bronzes, having transcended their original ritual functions, became prized art objects, instruments of scholarly inquiry, and emblems of moral and political values. Their diverse forms—from ritual vessels to intimate incense burners and scholarly desk pieces—reflect the deep integration of bronze into the fabric of imperial and literati culture. In so doing, many of the plants and animals—mythical or real—carry important auspicious meanings that contribute to the learned culture from which they originate.

Axel Vervoordt Gallery is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in Asia of American artist Ann Leda Shapiro at its Hong Kong space. Body is Landscape brings together a historical work from 1980 alongside a series of recent paintings highlighting the central concerns of Shapiro’s practice: advocacy, care and the interplay between personal experience and the wider world.

Shapiro emerged as an artist during the feminist art movement of the 1960s and 1970s, a period when her work engaged directly with questions of gender, social justice and the visibility of women in society. Her early practice combined sharp social awareness with a commitment to care, laying the foundation for a lifelong exploration of how art can respond to and reflect upon the broader human condition.

Opening reception: 8 November, 2 - 5 pm. The artist will be in attendance

Gallery address: 21/F, Coda Designer Centre, Wong Chuk Hang

MAYAO is pleased to present Chinese artist YU JI’s solo exhibition, Peony Pavilion. Join us for the opening reception on November 8th from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, as ink and brush recompose the operatic imagery and bring us to a spiritual garden where absurdity and reality intertwine.

China has long had the custom of illustrating its plays. Compared to the ancients, Yu Ji places ceremonial processions, grand spectacles, and Opera stages within surreal, grotesque mountains and forests. Humans and animals, rolling their eyes, gaze disdainfully at modern cars, airships, and hot-air balloons that trespass through their world—yet they continue to play their eternal roles. Human history unfolds acompanied by construction and destruction, as well as the tangled stories of passionate men and women caught within. These fleeting “small loves,” suspended within the dust of “great history,” can only gain visibility when entangled with national tragedy and collective hatred. Such is the eternal sorrow of humankind.
Opening Reception: 4:00 - 7:00 PM, 8th Nov, Saturday

Ben Brown Fine Arts Hong Kong is delighted to present Alighiero e Boetti: Ononimo, an exhibition exploring the artist’s enduring fascination with systems, collaboration, and variation. Bringing together works from Boetti’s celebrated Biro and Aerei series, the exhibition traces his investigation into how order and repetition give rise to difference, and how meaning emerges through collective labour, time, and chance.

 The exhibition’s title, Ononimo – borrowed from Boetti’s 1973 work – derives from a neologism he coined by merging the Italian anonimo (anonymous) and omonimo (homonymous). First written in blue biro in 1971 as a self-reflexive expression, it reflects Boetti’s preoccupation with duality and the splitting of identity, a principle he formalised that same year by inserting an “and” between his names to become “Alighiero e Boetti.”

Private view: 11:00 - 7:00 Saturday 22 November

Gulnur Mukazhanova is a Kazakh contemporary artist who combines Central Asian felt with other media to examine the interaction between ancient textile culture and contemporary issues. This solo exhibition showcases diverse creations from across her career, including felt paintings, felt sculptures, patchwork installations, photography and video.

Felt making is a laborious process that demands both physical strength and mental focus – wool fibres are repeatedly squeezed, kneaded and pounded into a densely matted textile. Mukazhanova blends traditional techniques with bold colours and experimental collages, taking Central Asian felt beyond its everyday uses and cultural significance for freer, more open and more emotional expressions.

Venue address: 45 Pak Tin Par Street, Tsuen Wan, N.T.

Evading the boundaries of the traditional picture plane, McGurn often eschews the limits of her canvases by extending the imagery directly onto the gallery walls and furniture brought into the space, displacing her subject and creating an immersive environment. Instead of approaching a static painting, the artist activates the composition allowing the figures and forms to be seen as though in a field of vision. Occasionally confrontational, sometimes passive, sometimes ecstatic, these characters shift through these emotions constantly reforming their personas.

Key themes in Mcgurn’s work include music, dreams, memory and popular culture. Her visual sources have included 70s film stills, Janus fetish magazine, Botticelli prints and celebrity autographs. The works are developed intuitively via the artist's use of swift calligraphic brush marks and attention to the human form. Repeated lines and movement recall antiquity but are similarly influenced by Glasgow’s post-industrial city aesthetic. With her paintings, Mcgurn builds loops through pastel colours, speed and fluid motion. Playing with ideas around circadian rhythms and familiarity her works un-stagnate and are experienced rather than seen.

David Zwirner is pleased to announce Somewhere better than this place / Nowhere better than this place, Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s (1957–1996) first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. Featuring examples from key bodies of work by the artist, this presentation will also extend beyond the gallery into the city, and will seek to draw out the deep resonances between Gonzalez-Torres’s practice and the city’s complex urban fabric, historical trajectory, and evolving national identity. Hong Kong—a place shaped by histories of passage and transformation—mirrors many of the dualities the artist explored throughout his life, such as belonging and estrangement, the particular and the universal, the individual and the collective, and the fixed and the fleeting. 
 
Beyond the gallery, simultaneous manifestations of candy and stack works in the show will be displayed at significant public sites around the city. These installations will explore the complex relationships and negotiations between private and public space, and intimacy and anonymity, that inform Gonzalez-Torres’s practice. By embedding the artist’s work within the broader contexts and daily rhythms of Hong Kong’s urban environment, this project brings into question notions of access, who constitutes the public, and what defines public versus private space. 

Opening Reception: Wednesday, November 19, 5–7 PM

Gallery address: 5–6/F, H Queen’s, 80 Queen’s Road Central, Central

Gagosian is pleased to announce Paint, an exhibition of new paintings by Spencer Sweeney opening at the Hong Kong gallery on November 19, 2025. These imposing works—oil portraits of seated figures with visible torsos, and others in which only the subjects’ heads and shoulders are depicted—convey intense energy and feeling through Sweeney’s use of rich color and bold paint handling.

Sweeney cites jazz as having sparked his love for improvisation, which he interweaves with references to pop culture and art history in nudes, portraits, and self-portraits. Resonating with the spirits of artists from Henri Matisse to Giorgio de Chirico and American painter Bob Thompson, his images embody a Neo-Expressionist verve while repeating signature motifs, and are characterized by their juxtaposition of direct emotional appeal with a freewheeling exploration of the creative process. In a complement to his painting practice, Sweeney transforms gallery spaces into studios and stages, conjuring dynamic “atmospheres” in conjunction with figures from various disciplines, including Lizzi Bougatsos, with whom he cofounded the New York noise-art group Actress.

Opening reception: Wednesday, November 19, 6–8pm

This exhibition brings together a selection of major works produced by Rauschenberg during and in response to his time in Asia. It traces the conceptual, formal and material influences on his practice, such as sourcing textiles and collaborating with paper makers and ceramicists in China, India, and Japan. The exhibition also considers the history and legacy of his Asian Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange (ROCI) projects, which included exhibitions in Beijing (1985), Lhasa (1985), Tokyo (1986), and Kuala Lumpur (1990), and their lasting impact on local artists. The display will feature works by Rauschenberg and by Asian artists in dialogue with his practice, and marks the centenary of the artist’s birth.

Alisan Atelier is pleased to announce Spirit In Flux, a special group exhibition of 11 artists inspired by and engaging with the innovative spirit championed by the founder of Hong Kong’s New Ink Movement, Lui Shou-kwan. Participants include Au Hoi-lam, Fan Yan, Fung Hoi-shan, Sherry, Heung Kin-fung, Alex, Kong Chun-nga, Kitty, Li Tingting, Miao Hanwen, Mok Hoi-ching, Silvester, Tang Kai-yiu, Frank, Tse Chun-sing, and Yuen Ka-yee, Angela. They each chart their own course in artistic innovation, directly and indirectly responding to the legacy of Lui Shou-kwan, which is currently celebrated in a landmark solo exhibition at Alisan Fine Arts’ Central Hong Kong gallery.

Curated by veteran curator Leung Siu-kee, the exhibition showcases a diverse array of works, from two-dimensional paintings in ink, oil, and mixed media to three-dimensional pieces incorporating ceramics, paper sculptures, light installations, and new media. These artworks explore contemporary artistic expression, echoing the Spirit central to the exhibition’s title. Lui Shou-kwan's Zen paintings uniquely blend Eastern philosophy with Western abstract art, expanding the world of Chinese ink painting. He once remarked, “Brush and ink have no legacy; they are the universe of the self,” suggesting that artists should not be confined by traditional teachings but should instead pursue their own creative impulses. This exhibition also aims to showcase the artist's continuous pursuit of change and the deepening of his personal style.

The Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware is staging a new exhibition, "Hong Kong Artist Dialogue Series: Shape of Tea", featuring 35 sets of tea ware in various types such as tea bowls, tea caddies and teapots, from the museum's collections spanning the Song dynasty to the 20th century, along with 20 sets of new wood and bamboo works created by Hong Kong artists Yan Yung and Inkgo Lam.
     
 Drawing inspiration from the collections of the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware, wood artist Yung and bamboo artist Lam integrate the aesthetics of life in the Song dynasty, with rustic simplicity and unpretentious elegance, into daily life. They have created works diverse in form, including small tea bowls, exquisite bamboo carved tea ware, as well as large mortise tea racks and bamboo woven tea tables. They have also created art from fallen tree wood and drawn inspiration from flora and species named after Hong Kong, expressing their visions of Hong Kong in their works.

Venue address: 10 Cotton Tree Drive, Central (inside Hong Kong Park)

The Yijing, or Book of Changes, is unquestionably a quintessential Chinese cultural heritage. Confucianism and Daoism have their common roots here. Ancient Chinese philosophy, science, and statecraft and even modern living have all drawn inspiration from it. As a classical divination document and a philosophical exposition, this book has an enduring imprint on many aspects of Chinese life. 

The current exhibition highlights the continued relevance of the Book of Changes through the artistic interpretation of Hong Kong photo artist Basil Pao. Two series of his works—The Great Walls of China and Glimpses of Silence—are presented here to explore the relation between heritage and artistic creation. Capturing a world of changing reality and changing appearances, these pictures are the testament to Pao’s deep connections to the Book of Changes for embracing the authentic self and beholding the beauty and mystery of the world. The show offers a visual feast for observing the eternal energy and subtleties of change in all-embracing landscapes. It invites contemplation on the interaction and unity of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity—an ancient Chinese philosophical concept presented in the classic. 

Venue address: Duplex Studio, Tai Kwun

We are thrilled to invite you into the world of “Where Life Meets, Once — New Works by Mizuki Nishiyama”! Mizuki Nishiyama, a multi-cultural artist born in Hong Kong and raised between Japan, Italy, London and New York, expresses her kaleidoscopic roots through artworks that celebrate both fragility and resilience. Her expressive, multifaceted works bridge East and West through vivid explorations of human fragility, identity, and ancestry, especially from the perspective of the female experience.

Mizuki’s journey spans New York and London, where she studied at Parsons and Central Saint Martins, and currently a PHD candidate at the Institute for Doctorial Studies in the Visual Arts, her art has been showcased across continents. With each piece, she shares fragments of emotion and ritual — drawing viewers into a space where past and present, ancestry and longing, quietly meet. Her earlier series, “Fragile,” “Bodies in Landscape,” and her latest series “Between Land and Earth,” remind us that every moment can be both fleeting and unforgettable.

As curator William Fong remarks, “In the quiet epiphany her work awakens, each canvas becomes where life meets — a convergence of self, world, and time, a presence that can never be lived twice, existing only now — and once.”

Gallery address: Pottinger 22, Central

The HKDI Gallery is pleased to announce its first flagship exhibition in its 2025-2026 slate, the Pluriversal Futures – Ars Electronica Exhibition in Collaboration with Hong Kong Design Institute (“Pluriversal Futures”), jointly organised by Ars Electronica, the world’s leading platform of media art for the intersection of art, technology and society based in Linz, and Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI). The curation presents a reinterpretation of “multiple” and “pluriversal” visions of the future, which entails the coexistence of several worldviews, futures, and realities that are entangled, interconnected, and intertwined.

Venue address: Hong Kong Design Institute, 3 King Ling Road, Tseung Kwan O

PHD Group is pleased to present “Mothering,” their third ever group show.

It is a paradox that we all experience: to heal, we must grow, but to grow, we must endure. Our group exhibitions have always been opportunities for us to meditate and reflect on our space and its purpose, a brief respite from the operational grind of openings and closings, fairs and travels. In examining the work of the artists we surround ourselves with, we find introspective turns within each practice, a homage to the invisible, sometimes more-than-human elements that give form to new life. To mother is to birth, to nurture, and to seek alternate, sometimes even painful, paths of growth—we are reminded of the tiny plantlets that fall from the parent, bright-white roots already attached, ready to begin again.

The group show will feature work by Chan Ting, Michele Chu, Liao Wen, Yuko Mohri, Sasaoka Yuriko, Tan Jing, Pam Virada, Wang Xu, Xi Jiu, and Zheng Mahler.

PODIUM is proud to present ‘Like a Thief in the Night’, Berlin-based artist Dennis Scholl’s first solo exhibition in Asia and with the gallery. Known for his lush and phantasmagorical paintings and drawings, Scholl has been creating enigmatic worldviews where human and non-human beings oscillate between brutality and beauty, violence and tenderness. In this ambitious body of work, spanning 16 new paintings and a collection of drawings, the artist draws upon the pastoral as both a locus of sentimentality and a theatre of profound spiritual allegory. Centring on the recurring image of the shepherd—a guide of flocks—Scholl reimagines it as a sacred figure that commands cultivation and sacrifice across human and non-human life. Through his enchanting visual language and storytelling, Scholl invites the viewers to inhabit the crux of tension between comfort and foreboding, belonging and exile, nurture and disruption; reminding one that vigilance is not merely a stance of fear but also of attention and tenderness—that to live in anticipation of the unknown is to remain awake to care for oneself.

The exhibition opens on 29 November 2025 (Saturday) from 2 to 7 pm

Gallery address: Unit 9D, E Tat Factory Building, 4 Heung Yip Road, Wong Chuk Hang

Rossi & Rossi is pleased to present Luce Iconica, a solo exhibition by Italian artist Massimo Antonaci (b. 1958). On view from 6 December 2025 through 21 February 2026, the presentation marks his third solo project with the gallery.

The Italian word ‘luce’ translates to ‘light’, and the light revered in the works of Antonaci is absolute and pure. Luce Iconicahighlights a series of works in gold, silver and white, all veiled by glass. Adhering to a 60 by 60 cm compositional guide, the artist has created virtual grids, where mental images intersect with space. In Cornerstone (2019), a slightly tilted glass pane rests atop a square of white paint, inviting viewers to look beyond the surface and see what the element truly embodies. As Antonaci noted in the catalogue from his 2019 retrospective at Rossi & Rossi Hong Kong, ‘When the reflection of consciousness no longer projects any image, the mental substance manifests itself in its own nature, which is colourless’. Here, the glass is a window that frames human sight as a medium of manifestation.

Gallery address: 11F, M Place, Wong Chuk Hang

The exhibition features a variety of exquisite craftworks that create a crucible for innovation — the convergences between traditional masters’ disciplined techniques and contemporary designers and artists’ forward-thinking visions. Central to this exhibition is the concept of “creative cross-pollination”—a dynamic process where seemingly disparate ideas and techniques, drawn from diverse sources with traces of common ground, are brought together to generate something entirely new.

It brings together five groups of local and international artisans to create five groups of work that transcend boundaries and topple conventions.

Venue address: 11 Peel Street, Central

La Moustache, a group exhibition organized by Jordan Stein, opens this Saturday, 6 December, 6–8 PM, with a performance by Bill Orcutt.

With works by Lutz Bacher, Mary Helena Clark, Jay DeFeo, William Eggleston, Vincent Fecteau, Maureen Gallace, Doris Guo, Stephen Kaltenbach, Paul Kos, Lee Lozano, Danny McDonald, Kazuna Taguchi, Leo Valledor, and Jonathan Velazquez

Drawing loose inspiration from the existential thriller of the same name, La Moustache presents a searching exploration of that precarious psychic territory in which the accepted borders between sense and nonsense, interior and exterior, the abstract and the concrete, are rendered scintillatingly porous.

Gallery address: 19/F Grand Marine Center, 3 Yue Fung Street, Tin Wan

Curated by Wong Ka Ying, the exhibition features selected artworks in the British Council Collection alongside Hong Kong young artists, baaak3, David Chan, Genie Hui, Arlie Leung and Harris Wong, setting the stage for a vibrant exchange across generational, cultural and artistic visions.

The University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong, is honoured to present Zhao Hai Tien—Cultivation: 50 Years of Painting, a comprehensive overview of Zhao Hai Tien’s artistic journey as a painter and her boundless explorations as a Hong Kong artist, both locally and internationally. Her work is distinguished by a poignant confluence of abstract expression, spiritual depth, and cross-cultural dialogue. From her early New York-inflected abstractions to the later meditative, calligraphic, and cosmic visual language, she has consistently infused her practice with vitality, reflection, and resilience—an enduring testament to her inquiry into identity, spirituality, and the cosmos.  

Born in Shanghai in 1945, Zhao Hai Tien emerged as a pioneering figure in modern Chinese art and was among the few of her generation to train overseas before China’s opening in 1979. She completed her early studies in Shanghai and Hong Kong, before moving to New York, where she earned a BFA from Cooper Union in 1969. Immersed in the dynamic New York art scene of the 1960s, she began experimenting with abstraction, transforming her artistic language in bold and innovative ways. Zhao Hai Tien’s artistic evolution and creative explorations are characterised by a remarkable diversity of media—from airbrush and automotive spray paint on wooden folded screens and acrylic on canvas to calligraphic experiments, large-scale public murals, and oil paintings. Her practice blends technical precision with expressive freedom, deeply informed by spiritual traditions.

Laibach’s artistic method operates through a precise and often unsettling strategy of over-identification. By appropriating and amplifying the rhetoric, aesthetics, and rituals of authority, the group transforms ideology into spectacle, compelling the viewer to confront their own complicity in the systems they believe they merely observe. This performative mirroring of power does not aim at parody or subversion in the conventional sense, but rather at revelation — a disclosure of the unconscious drives, fantasies, and desires that sustain collective belief.

Opening | 11 December 2025, 18:00

Talk | 13 December 2025, 15:00

This December, Kwai Fung Hin presents Enchanted Visions, a group exhibition featuring seven contemporary artists with ties to Italy. Through painting, sculpture, installation, and photography, they conjure mythic, uncanny worlds where certainty dissolves and boundaries blur. Drawing on history, cultural heritage, symbolism, and philosophy, each artist translates reality into a field of possibilities beyond conventional logic.

Distinct in approach yet united in creative courage, they reveal hidden magic woven through the layers of perception in our contemporary world. Here, enchantment is not about pretty lies of fantasy, but about guiding viewers beyond the familiar toward the essence of things.

Gallery address: Office A, 9/F, Entertainment Building, 30 Queen's Road Central, Central

Para Site is delighted to present the group exhibition ‘Muted Hums’. The exhibition is curated by Celia Ho, featuring works by nine international and asian artists, including Catalina Africa (Philippines), Özlem Altın (Germany), Lêna Bùi(Vietnam), Oscar Chan Yik Long (Hong Kong/ Finland), Saodat Ismailova (Uzbekistan/ France), Ling Pui Sze (Hong Kong), Man Mei To (Hong Kong/ UK), Christina Quarles (USA), and Aycoobo - Wilson Rodríguez (Colombia), with three presenting newly commissioned works. 

‘Muted Hums’ explores the interplay between inner selves and the broader worlds around us. The exhibition invites the audience to engage with the multiplicity and fluidity of existence, attuning to a deeper awareness of the multifaceted dimensions of being. The exhibition title prompts our attention to the subtle and quiet pulses of intimate emotions that are often overlooked. It emphasises the significance of looking beyond immediate perceptions, connecting with the silent gestures of consciousness, revealing the fragmented truths we carry within our bodies that are inherited from those before us.

The exhibition revolves around the concept of mapping ourselves, and observing what our bodies hold. This inquiry transcends the corporeal boundaries beyond the present, serving as a reminder of the invisible energies that shape our connections. It challenges us to reconsider our sense of place within this intricate web of existences, where bodies exist within bodies and worlds unfold beyond the immediate. Spanning a wide variety of media (including paintings, sculptures, video, and site-specific works), the artworks illuminate the unseen realms of personal narratives and collective memories. Through the tensions between the fragmented and the unified, ‘Muted Hums’ reimagines the interconnectedness of all beings across time.

Zao Wou-Ki: Master Printmaker explores the Chinese-French artist’s life, his prints, and his mastery of abstraction. It sheds new light on Zao’s printmaking practice, introducing the unique aesthetics, techniques, and styles of this medium while investigating the connections between oil painting and printmaking as equally significant aspects of his oeuvre. The exhibition explores how Zao’s printmaking catalysed his experiments in abstraction and considers the role of prints as a visual and conceptual vehicle that facilitated the circulation of his works, positioning him as an eminent cross-cultural figure in the post-war art landscapes of Europe, Asia, and the United States.

Venue address: Main Hall Gallery, G

Alisan Fine Arts is delighted to present its sixth solo exhibition for Chinyee (1929-2023), honouring six decades of the renowned female abstractionist’s career. A first-generation Chinese-American artist, Chinyee was associated with the New York School of Abstract Expressionism. This exhibition marks her first posthumous solo show in Hong Kong since her passing in 2023 and features approximately ten oil paintings along with selected works on paper, including watercolours and collages created between 1955 and 2018. From traditional calligraphic strokes to vibrant Western hues, these pieces invite viewers to revisit the artist's evolution in abstraction. Many of the pieces have never been exhibited in Hong Kong, including several that will make their global debut.

Opening reception: 16 December 2025, 5pm-7pm

Gallery address: 21/F Lyndhurst Tower, 1 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central

In traditional Chinese landscape painting, attention is often drawn to the majestic landscape itself. Yet, it is in the scantily described miniature figures that the soul of a landscape painting resides. Playing neither a dominating nor a supplementing role, they encapsulate the painter’s intent and serves as his magic wand that turns the painting into an idealised place for travelling, gazing, roaming and dwelling. Engaging in disparate activities, these figures venture deep into nature, communing with it and giving life and meaning to the painting. Far from random ornaments, they personify the painter besides embodying his musings and inclinations.  

Featuring a fine selection from the Chih Lo Lou Collection, the exhibition zooms in on figures in Chinese landscape paintings to reveal their identities, stories and cultural significance. Following the ink marks as leads, visitors to the exhibition will be able to explore how these tiny beings, reclusive, cynical or otherwise, are transformed into the protagonists of the landscape narratives. 

Venue address: Chih Lo Lou Gallery of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy, 4/F

THE SHOPHOUSE is pleased to present Wuhan based artist Li Chuangli’s first solo exhibition in Asia, titled Portrait. Featuring a series of new work on canvas centering on the theme of portraiture, Li explores his understanding of modernity and postmodernity, examining the subtle evolution of imagery and painting in a consumerist society, as well as the resulting phenomenological transformation in human perception.

Since 2023, Li has been creating paintings of the MT8 chrome-plated steel tube table lamp designed by Wilhelm Wagenfeld nearly a century ago. This lamp symbolizes the Bauhaus style born of the industrial renaissance era and stands as an emblem of modernity. The artist anthropomorphises it into a series of portraiture, thereby alluding to the individualistic tendencies of postmodernism. This series of work engages with the historical narrative of art-making, showcasing the overlapping shadows of time, evolved from religious subjectivity, to a modernist human-centric approach, and finally the contemporary individualistic expression.

Gallery address: 4 Second Lane, Tai Hang

gdm Hong Kong is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Wu Shan, featuring a curated selection of lacquer paintings and ink works created between 2012 and 2025. Recognized as a leading figure in contemporary lacquer art in China, Wu Shan has devoted himself to an in-depth exploration of the medium’s visual language. For him, lacquer embodies profound cultural resonance and conceptual richness. Through the meticulous process of layering and the passage of time, his works trace subtle trajectories of emotion and thought, crystallizing into tangible forms.

Wu Shan (b. 1960) was born into an artistic family. He received his degree in oil painting from the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts (now the China Academy of Art) in 1982, pursued advanced studies at the Art Institute of Chicago, and returned to Hangzhou in 2006. Wu Shan’s turn to lacquer began unexpectedly. He positions the medium beyond its traditional associations with Eastern culture and craft, recontextualizing it historically and articulating it as a language of contemporary painting.

Opening Reception: 8 January 2026, 5-7pm

Vivian Ho’s solo exhibition You Will Never Walk Alone marks a significant moment of experimentation.
She brings her signature playful and quirky style onto canvas, exploring new techniques with acrylic paint and marker pens, while rediscovering the pure joy of painting. Her lenticular prints add a new dimension to traditional printmaking, offering fresh visual stimulation.

Through a whimsical lens, Ho reimagines Hong Kong’s urban life and culture. Her works are surreal yet grounded, weaving dazzling colors and intricate lines into the city’s sense of disorientation—just like Hong Kong itself: mesmerizing, inescapable.

The speeding train may never stop, and we may never find the so‑called exit. Yet this does not matter—for home is wherever we are together. Amid the city’s strange and dazzling scenes, there is no need for fear. Remember: you are not alone.
Even if the train never reaches the ideal shore, the journey itself is radiant. With companions by your side, every detour becomes a homecoming.

A moment from the past does not rush, yet it is soft and persistent. It lingers in the memory, in the echo of a glance, in the pause between footsteps. Lingering is how a moment speaks when it refuses to be forgotten, it stretches a second into a story. The residue of motion, the shimmer of what was just there, still trembling in the air. In lingering, it reveals its true nature of being a rhythm, a breath, a presence that never fully fades.

In this exhibition, Choi Nga Sze Angie continues her use of taxi serving as a metaphor for life’s constant motion—a cycle of arrivals and departures. Inspired by photography, stop motion animation and the zoetrope, Choi uses ceramic works to capture fleeting moments that layer into memory. By suspending motion on surfaces both fragile and enduring, the pieces invite reflection on how transient experiences quietly shape who we are.

This year, we are delighted to present L.O.V.E.R a debut solo media arts exhibition by Natalie Isdoingokay, recipient of the Gold Award at the 29th ifva Awards.

IN and OUT. Right now take that breath in and out. Memories rush in, reflecting on how time slips through the blink of an eye. Visions and memories lash out, swiftly in between the fingers.

Grasping fragments of her past, musing a future puzzle, weaving the pieces into the fabric of her future, forging a pathway to her tomorrow. She’s on a quest for the light and the truth in the loom of lost in a mist. The infinite void engulfs her wrestling strength gazing and blinking through the chaos of now.

Asia Society Hong Kong Center, in collaboration with INKstudio, is proud to present Bing Yi: Taihang Rhapsody, the latest contemporary ink art solo exhibition by art historian and artist Bingyi.

The exhibition is presented as the long-lost artworks of Hua, the fictional Northern Song Matriarch of Painting, rediscovered and "archaeologically excavated" by the artist Bingyi from a Song Dynasty temple site in the Taihang Mountains – partly based on historical clues and partly on personal imagination. In Bingyi's series of speculative reconstructions, Hua is not only a pioneering female artist in Chinese art history but also a visionary philosopher and political thinker. Independent of the great masters of the Song Dynasty landscape painting and the subsequent male literati painting tradition, Hua created an alternative aesthetic system that de-centered the patriarchal, Confucian, brush- and ego-centered mode of literati landscape painting and re-centered the expressive possibilities of brush-and-ink on water, on Taoism, on nature, and on the creative experiences of women.

Blue Lotus Gallery is delighted to revisit Shooting Hoops, Austin Bell’s viral and ambitious body of work in which the American photographer documented all 2,549 of Hong Kong’s outdoor basketball courts.

Originally released in January 2025, Shooting Hoops quickly gained international attention for its scale, precision, and striking visual language. In this new exhibition, the series is presented through a fresh curatorial lens, revealing the courts in a more abstract form for the first time.

Navigating Hong Kong exclusively by public transport, Bell methodically traversed the city’s full geographic and social breadth, from dense urban centres to outlying islands. Using aerial photography, he uncovered basketball courts tucked between housing estates, schools, flyovers, and high-rise towers, highlighting both their ubiquity and vivid graphic designs. Seen from above, these courts form bold geometric compositions, bursts of colour set against the city’s famously vertical and compressed urban fabric.

Sotheby’s is pleased to present Intimate Form: A Collection of Small-Scale Sculpture by Henry Moore. Maquettes were small models Moore created as studies for a larger sculpture. This exhibition displays for the first time in Hong Kong, forty miniature works, most of which can fit in the hand.

Henry Moore stands as one of the most transformative figures in 20th-century sculpture, a visionary whose work redefined the parameters of modern art. His signature semi-abstract forms, often rendered in bronze and stone, are celebrated for their organic fluidity and profound engagement with the human figure.

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

Tan Tan • Xu Liang duo solo exhibition opening from 15 Jan 2026 to 5 Feb 2026 at Illuminati Fine Art.

Tan Tan discards narrative and gazes at the formal syntax of reality itself. She reduces things to pure visual relations, exploring the self-discipline and poetry of form within the objective world.

Xu Liang, on the other hand, captures eternal visual structures in fleeting moments, revealing the ancient instinct of humanity to encode chaotic reality into symbols—an abstraction of the world, from mural paintings to digital pixels.

The opening reception is on 15 January 2026 (5-7 PM) with the artists’ attendance.

Kiang Malingue is pleased to present at its Hong Kong location “Play Gravity”, Yirui Jia’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.

Yirui Jia was born in China in 1997 and moved to the US in 2015. She graduated with a BFA from Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania in 2019 and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2022. In the last five years, Jia has presented a series of boisterous, multilayered paintings driven by unplanned cadenza and relentless overpainting, building a highly theatricalised world that is colourful and exuberant, communicating between intuition and lived experience. She understands painting as a process of impulse and detour, commanding recurring characters such as an alien-like skeleton and a heroic one-eyed bride who freely changes into a warrior, an astronaut, or an untamed femme fatale.

WMA presents ‘Pollyanna and the Glad Town’, the inaugural commissioned project for its 2025/26 biennial theme ‘Hope’. Hong Kong artist Doris Wong Wai Yin, known for her conceptual practice attuned to everyday experience, ventures into new ground with AI‑generated images alongside performance and video. Rather than resorting to slogan-like declarations, the project probes hope as something far more intricate, authentic and emotionally multifaceted in contemporary society.

The artist introduces the classic children’s literary character Pollyanna－an unwavering optimist who ‘finds the good in everything’－and sends her into the battleground of ‘Glad Town’. Can such a persona remain intact? A series of video and installation works marked by ruptures and a sense of aesthetic excess interrupts our numbness to the digital and physical worlds, prompting us to reflect on the meaning of hope.

For his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, Tide presents “Edit,” a meditation on the evolving awareness of time.

Moving away from his characteristic immediacy, the artist revisits each canvas over extended durations—repeatedly erasing and overdrawing to construct a quiet, hidden history. Though the surfaces remain poised and refined, the works reveal an atmospheric depth beyond his earlier style. Each painting becomes a translucent record of patience and revision, inviting the viewer to perceive within its layers the slow passage of time.

HART HAUS is pleased to present “No Man’s Land”, Marian Ang’s solo show showcasing works created in the HART Studio Programme within the past year.

Fragments of stories from the Chinese diaspora about women and motherhood are intertwined with disconnected markers of reality: antique jewel boxes, faded travel souvenirs, cheaply printed lunar calendars, ancient and mass-produced ceramics, worn-out baby shoes.

Displaced over several generations of women who migrated around the world over the past century, these dislocated objects have become evidence of lives lived in unfamiliar places - homes made, traditions carefully preserved, and buried frameworks of thinking that persist even centuries later.

Reconstructing these broken threads into narratives of the existential search for luck and fortune amongst the Chinese diaspora, Ang creates new systems of identity and belonging.

The newly commissioned work A Day is an eight-channel video installation created by the internationally acclaimed Chinese artist Zhang Peili.  

Rooted in reflections on bodily impairment and the limits of life, the work guides viewers through everyday public and private spaces via moving images. As the visuals continuously accelerate, decelerate, and collapse, they create a disorienting and elusive experience of time and space. 

A Day is the third multimedia installation of the DigiRadiance series and is specially commissioned to transform the historic F Hall Studio on Tai Kwun’s Prison Yard into an immersive artwork.

M+M Gallery Proudly Presents Its Inaugural New Year Exhibition: Un Certain Regard: Alternative Visions of Postwar Asia. The exhibition title pays homage to the Un Certain Regard section of the Festival de Cannes—a parallel program established in 1978 to champion non-mainstream aesthetics and experimental styles. Borrowing this lens, the exhibition seeks to distill a unique perspective from the vast and fragmented coordinates of Asian art history since the 1950s, re-examining the artistic lives that struggled and flourished amidst the shifting tides of the Cold War and national transformations.

Temp_ Institute is a two-week programme comprising research seminars and public lectures, designed for arts and cultural professionals and tertiary-level students from Hong Kong and across Asia.

From 2018 to 2023, Tai Kwun Contemporary curated five editions of Summer Institute, bringing together scholars and participants to explore a range of pressing and significant art and cross-disciplinary topics - body and artificial intelligence, ecology and technology, time and space, labour and privilege, among others. Through alternative approaches to pedagogy and knowledge-making, we investigated future opportunities and challenges facing art, society, and the wider world.

Building on this legacy of "temporarily instituted" learning and discussion, Temp_ Institute continues to foster an open network, enabling participants to engage in in-depth dialogue with some of the most important art theorists and scholars, curators, artists, and philosophers from Hong Kong and abroad, together constructing a platform for the convergence of ideas.

Get your chopsticks ready as we transform our gallery space into a surreal teahouse, serving up a chaotic love letter to Hong Kong's beloved Yum Cha ritual.

Square Street Gallery presents Faan1jik6 Zi1gaan1 (In Between Translations), a group exhibition with CHAN Melody, YAN Wai Yin Winnie and YIP Kai Chun.

Faan1jik6 Zi1gaan1(In Between Translations)* presents artists working with language in a translational process. They explore how the transmission of information can fluctuate between being an exposing or obscuring act.

CHAN Melody, YAN Wai Yin Winnie and YIP Kai Chun, are three artists looking at what escapes clear and straightforward communication, favouring simultaneous interpretations instead. We are met with multiple forms of language converging and transforming, resulting in works reflecting on history, legitimacy, personal heritage and memory. Through installations and videos, Chan, Yan, and Yip reveal language to be a contentious site with as much potential for gain as it does for loss.

Curated by VABRE CHAU Amandine.

Opening reception: 29th January 6-8pm

The Chinese title 「清炒奇蹟」 translates as “Plain Stir-fry Miracle.” Plain stir-fry evokes simplicity, and miracle gestures toward something that exceeds language. What appears modest reveals a depth that cannot be fully articulated.
Aesthetic experience is inherently personal, and appreciation resists persuasion. It occurs intuitively, or not at all. This immediacy mirrors the logic of plain stir-fry, a Chinese cooking method defined by minimal oil and few ingredients, where reduction becomes refinement. The same sensibility resonates with Tuscan cuisine, which honors simplicity and freshness.
Across these culinary traditions lies a shared philosophy that flavor is not constructed through excess, but uncovered through care. Art operates in a similar register. An encounter either resonates or remains silent. When it resonates, it feels almost miraculous, like tasting a dish so perfectly balanced that language falls short of describing its “beauty”.

FutureScope, Hong Kong’s first large-scale art dome, continues to bring visionary ArtTech experiences to visitors with the launch of its second chapter, Resonance Aura - Astrolabe, at Kai Tak. From 30 January, the immersive experience invites visitors to explore sound, light, and movement within the dome. Conceptualised by Hong Kong media artist Chris Cheung (h0nh1m), alongside his media art collective XCEED, the second chapter presents a new interactive element, a mesmerising kinetic installation, Resonance Aura VI - Torquetum. 

Following the success of Perpetual Records at FutureScope, Resonance Aura - Astrolabe invites visitors to reflect on their place in the world and the universe. The experience draws inspiration from the works of Hong Kong literary icon, Xi Xi (Ellen Cheung Yin), particularly ”Marvels of a Floating City” (《浮城誌異》) and“Imperial Astronomical Observatory” (《欽天監》). The exhibition reflects on Xi Xi’s poetic vision of the cosmos and urban life, echoing her observation that “The starry sky is simply the starry sky, it knows no borders,” which serves as the guiding principle behind the exhibition.

Using mixed-media collages from found printed matter, discarded wood, and fabrics, destabilising familiar icons from pop culture, politics, history, and the everyday. The results are cinematic, chaotic, and deliberately resistant to fixed meaning — inviting viewers to form their own interpretations, or simply embrace the uncertainty.

This show will serve as a finale for the series and it will also preview a new visual language: a handcrafted pop-up book that pushes the series’ ideas further, with even more technical complexity and visual punch.

Whitestone Gallery Hong Kong is thrilled to announce Waterfalls and Magpies, the first solo exhibition by renowned Spanish artist Nuria Mora in Hong Kong. This exhibition will explore the dual nature of interpretation and the transformative power of narrative through Mora's unique aesthetic, which combines geometric abstraction with thoughtful dialogues inspired by the urban environment.

Waterfalls and Magpies is inspired from a personal encounter between Nuria Mora and her friend during a moment of vulnerability. While caring for her friend who was feeling unwell, a solitary magpie appeared on their terrace, triggering feelings of fear and anxiety due to its association with bad luck in Western cultures. In contrast, Eastern cultures—including those in China, Korea, and India, celebrate the magpie as a symbol of good fortune, joy, and auspicious encounters. This striking contrast between interpretations prompted a deep exploration for Mora.

Ryōnosuke Fukui’s art evolved across three defining chapters: from early works rich in tradition yet engaging the West, to a radical experimental phase where screen printing and modernist grids became his language, and finally into his mature signature style—what he called ”spotted cubistries.“ This exclusive exhibition presents works from Fukui’s final period, a period marked by a breathtaking crystalline realism, where each painting is a world of shallow depth and infinite resonance, a perfected balance of logic and the pure ”intoxication of beauty.“

Witness the pinnacle of a master’s vision and encounter the beauty and impermanence of Fukui’s works.

“Fish Man and Fish Woman are living among us.” –Ant, Ngai Wing-Lam

Udatsu Sushi Hong Kong is pleased to announce the solo exhibition of Hong Kong based artist Ant, Ngai Wing-Lam, opening on January 23rd, 2026. The exhibition features six pieces of the most recent canvas works and works on paper by the artist.

Channelling the antic spirit of Surrealism with a series of paintings depicting “Fish Men” and “Fish Women” against landscapes of the metropolis, locally born and trained Lam’s work borrows from the physical world and inevitably mirrors the everyday life and thoughts of Hong Kong people. In her new canvases She is Always on Time (2025) and He is Still on His Way (2025), Lam reimagines the Koi-fish headed couple in a world of beautiful muted colours, with its aquamarine blues and greens. Always fascinated by the world of dream, and her pet fish’s dynamism of dream-like swimming, Ngai lends the characters meticulously structured bodies of a horse, offering a new-found sense of stillness and encourages the viewer to revisit the concept of time.
