Contemporary by Angela Li is excited to present solo exhibition of Chan King Long, Ken, “What Hums in the Rain”, featuring his latest series of works. The exhibition will remain on view until 2 May 2026. 

 “We must let go of our fixations on the apparent, release our senses, only then we may hear the whispering hum buried within the backdrop of wind and rain. That is not noise, but the true essence of life." — Chan King Long, Ken 

The world is a reckless vehicle hurtling forward, while time is a torrent that dilutes our perception. Beneath the endless rain, the contours of everything dissolve into obscurity. 

In times of generational transformation, culture and values often collide, creating sparks, while also leaving behind waves of dispute that slowly accumulate in our subconscious as love, hatred, understanding and regret. The voices of society ebb and flow, pulling our attention from all around until we gradually grow numb and disoriented. 

This exhibition is a mirror, inviting everyone to pause and confront themselves in the reflection, that are long unseen, perhaps even unfamiliar. Within fractures and blur, through continuous inward gazing, may we rediscover, safeguard and mend that flickering flame: that is, our anchor in the torrent, our hope.
