“Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which they communicate than by the content of the communication.” – Marshall McLuhan  In the infamous movie A Clockwork Orange by Stanley Kubrick, one of the most iconic scenes depicts Alex, the protagonist afflicted by an insatiable thirst for “ultra-violence”, undergoing the “Ludovico technique,” a form of aversion therapy in which his eyes are forcibly pried open as he is obligated to watch a series of graphically violent, and disturbing footage.  Hejum Bä ’s first solo exhibition at MASSIMODECARLO Hong Kong bears a provocative title – a nod to the viral Korean internet meme – I want to buy unseen eyes – referencing the constant stream and influx of content we consume in the digital age, whether we intend it...

A halo, a symbol of holiness, traditionally depicted as a circular or arched manifestation of light encircling the head of a revered figure, takes on a fresh representation in Hong Kong artist Kazy Chan’s upcoming solo exhibition, The Twist of a Halo. By challenging the fixed preconceptions that often stifle our creativity and understanding, Kazy distorts and reimagines this ethereal symbol through various mediums in hopes that viewers can reflect on the ever-changing nature of their perceptions and knowledge of the world.  As depicted by a myriad of artists, halos are products of imagination, and their true form remains unknown, allowing for endless interpretations ranging from a simple representation of radiance in the form of a circle to evolving into a symbol of the Trinity in the s...

Karin Weber Gallery is excited to collaborate with local veteran May Fung as a curator for a captivating solo exhibition by Hong Kong artist Kensa Hung. This project marks the gallery’s inaugural collaboration with May Fung as well as the debut showcase of the artist’s paintings in our gallery. Fung remarks, “When I first came across this batch of paintings created by Kensa Hung, I saw different animals in strange colours living in bizarre spaces. It was a mental shock to me.” This same sense of bewilderment is set to reverberate within our transformed gallery space-turned jungle. ‘Fables in the Wilderness’ transports viewers to fantastical, nature-inspired realms, where a lush, primordial jungle teems with vividly hued flora and fauna, while a surreal underwater world depicts sinuou...

Double Q Gallery is delighted to present Five Deep Breaths, a solo exhibition of new works by Budapest-based artist Luca Sára Rózsa. Rózsa’s recent paintings are often inspired by stories preserved in the collective memory of Judeo-Christian culture, through which she examines questions, common to both Eastern and Western philosophy, concerning the role of the individual within the cycles of the world. While travelling in Asia, she became fascinated by the idea rooted in ancient Eastern thought that human existence and the place and role of human beings in society are links in an eternal cycle. By contrast, individual existence in Western culture is determined by self-centredness, and a person’s life and actions are governed by the quest for self-fulfilment. Rózsa’s latest paintings can...
