– The bustling metropolis of Hong Kong, with its striking juxtapositions of towering skyscrapers, meandering alleyways, neon-lit streets, and tranquil harbors, has long been a muse to photographers from around the world. This March, the essence of this iconic city is brought to life in the group exhibition, Hong Kong Poetry, featuring the evocative works of celebrated photographers Fan Ho, Palani Mohan, Thomas Gust, and Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze.

Running from 22 March to 27 April at Blue Lotus Gallery, Hong Kong Poetry invites visitors to explore the city through the poetic lens of four distinctive artists, each of whom has captured the spirit, energy, and contradictions of Hong Kong in their own unique way.

Hong Kong is more than a city; it is a living, breathing tapestry of stories. Its urban labyrinth of sleek modernity, colonial remnants, and deeply-rooted traditions has inspired generations of photographers to uncover its layers and nuances. From the interplay of light and shadow in narrow streets to the human narratives unfolding amidst its urban density, Hong Kong’s dynamic essence is a natural canvas for poetic photography.

Through their lenses, these photographers have transformed Hong Kong into a visual symphony—a place where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and the ephemeral becomes eternal. Each image is a poem, revealing the layers of a city that is simultaneously chaotic and serene, historic and futuristic, intimate and vast.

The exhibition is a reminder of the power of art to elevate the everyday. With its ever-changing skyline and vibrant street life, Hong Kong remains an inexhaustible source of inspiration for those who seek to capture its soul.
