AISHO Hong Kong is honoured to announce Spanish artist Cristina Lama’s first solo exhibition “Unreasonable (LA SINRAZÓN)” in Hong Kong. The show is on view from 27 March to 26 April, 2025.

Cristina Lama's artistic practice is fundamentally grounded in abstract emotional expression, employing a relatively loose narrative approach that leaves the interpretation of her works open to the viewer. Rather than focusing on specific themes, characters, or subjects, she transforms these elements into instruments for exploring the possibilities of composition. Lama relies heavily on intuition, regarding the realistic imagery merely as a premise for her experimental arrangements of lines, forms, and colors. Her primary concern lies in how these elements achieve harmonious fluidity across the canvas. Working predominantly with acrylic paint on large-scale canvases, Lama incorporates dilemmas related to family, childhood, and freedom into her works. Her paintings, which reject conventional rules and perspectives, demonstrate compelling force through deliberate and vigorous brushwork while manifesting her sensitivity and emotional depth.

AISHO Hong Kong is honored to kick off 2025 with the first dual exhibition by Hong Kong artists Giraffe Leung Lok Hei and Jay Lau Ka Chun. Titled "Reality but Virtual," the exhibition features the artists using coins and prints as their canvases, employing real fragments of Hong Kong's history as a medium to collaboratively create virtual scenes constructed from reality, showcasing a frame of “Hong Kong” in a parallel time and space.

Giraffe Leung has long exploring his practice on issues of local culture, architecture, and urban development in Hong Kong. His most significant series, "Coins — Memories of Hong Kong," prominently features Hong Kong coins. By employing various chemical techniques to alter the coins' surfaces, Leung creates evocative representations of both currently existing and lost scenes from Hong Kong.

Jay Lau’s artistic practice focuses on exploring mechanical reproduction techniques such as printmaking, photography, and mold making, and how they are used to create and recreate images. He utilizes the techniques involved in image production to combine various materials, images, and media, emphasizing the physical characteristics and cultural content of the materials.

Opening reception: 10 January, 5-7pm

AISHO Hong Kong is honoured to announce Japanese artist Hidetaka Suzuki’s first solo exhibition “Stereoscope” in Hong Kong. The show is on view from 15 November to 21 December, 2024.

Throughout his career, Suzuki has persistently engaged with the theme between "Reality” and “Fiction," investigating the possibility of painting as a medium of expression. Echoing the sentiment of American author Mark Twain, who famously stated, "Truth is stranger than fiction," Suzuki's creation can always be interpreted through both perspective of reality and fiction. The motifs he presents, often detached from their original contexts,  invite viewers into a fantastical yet empty world that exists in the space between the two realms. Moreover, Suzuki's distinctive distortions and brushwork effectively transform reality into fiction and vice versa.

The title of this exhibition, "Stereoscope," references a technology originating in the 1850s that enables viewers to perceive images in three dimensions by observing two slightly offset images through a scope. This endeavour to transform flat images into three-dimensional representations has spurred numerous innovations, including red-green 3D glasses found in encyclopedias, the 3D televisions that gained popularity in the 2000s, the Nintendo 3DS, and more recently, the Apple Vision Pro. The artist believes that the original stereoscope serves as a pioneering device that bridges "reality" and "fiction," resonating with his own creative process and themes.
