'Image Outside of Time' is Italian artist Paola An

'Image Outside of Time' is Italian artist Paola Angelini's 1st exhibition in Asia. Rich with colour and atmosphere, her series of 7 large-scale paintings peel back the layers of mass media culture through the usage of symbols and metaphors. Fascinated by the spiritual power of ancient icons found in frescoes, medieval mosaics, antique sculptures and tapestries, the artist excavates symbols from these imageries to construct an alternate world independent of the timeline of our physical reality - calling for a different way of seeing and imagining. Until 31 Dec.

In eminent American-French artist Louise Bourgeoi

In eminent American-French artist Louise Bourgeois’s late fabric work, she embroidered, ‘I have been to hell and back. And let me tell you, it was wonderful,’ capturing the emotional journey that shaped her art. This powerful phrase sets the stage for her monumental solo exhibition, her first in Japan in 27 years. Featuring over 100 works, including sculptures, paintings, and intimate fabric pieces - most have never been seen before in Japan - experience Bourgeois’s raw emotional intensity, dark humour, and exploration of memory, trauma, and transformation. Inspired by her complex childhood, her art reimagines emotions into deeply personal yet universal symbols. Until 1 Jan 2025.

We're all used to seeing images of these iconic br

We're all used to seeing images of these iconic brands in mass-produced packaging, after a day out shopping and eating, but what about in furniture & furnishings? Korean artist Gyuhan Lee explores the value of these materials - normally considered disposable waste - by repurposing them, making us reconsider consumerist behaviours in his solo show, 'Pop Craft Structure'. Who knew that Nike shoe boxes and McDonald's crumbly take-away paper bags could take on different lives? Until 16 Dec.

A tiger sphinx - bald middle-aged man? At the lab

'Penumbra' is the NY-based artist Mika Tajima's 1s

'Penumbra' is the NY-based artist Mika Tajima's 1st ever show at the gallery's Hong Kong space. The title refers to the marginal, indefinite space of partial illumination, or the imperfect shadow between full shadow & full light. Surreal and ethereal, her works certainly make us reconsider the casting of light in a novel way... 4 of her most established series are presented, and together, they explore existentialist questions about human agency through transfigurations of colours, forms & energies.
Until 21 Dec.

The world's longest-running street art is landing

At the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, visit 'The A

At the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, visit 'The Atomic Age' (11 Oct - 9 Feb 2025), an exhibition that explores the history of modernity in the 20th century via the imaginary world of the atom. Through artistic representations referencing the nuclear bomb, some 250 multi-media works are brought together for the 1st time in a French museum, which showcase the differing perspectives of artists in the face of scientific advances and their accompanying controversies. We were blown away (no pun intended!) by works featuring artists Luc Tuymans, Kazuo Shiraga, Thomas Schütte, Francis Bacon, Stefan Rinck, Atsuko Tanaka, Alberto Burri, Wifredo Lam, Richard Pousette-Dart, etc. to name just a few.
(Images 1-10)

Next door in the next exhibition hall, explore an impressive retrospective of the Swiss sculptor, Hans Josephsohn (1920-2012). 'Josephsohn' (11 Oct - 16 Feb 2025) is curated by Albert Oehlen, an artist himself who is a great admirer of the sculptor. Raw, intense, and even grotesque are words that come to mind when face-to-face with such powerful works. The intensity of Josephsohn's works is further rooted in a life tormented by his Jewish origins and personal experiences during the Holocaust. What a powerful showcase!
(Images 11-15)

The museum is also presenting the genius of French painter, Raoul Dufy (1877-1953) in a stunning panoramic mural (Images 16-17); as well as a wall of paintings by contemporary French artist, Daniel Buren (Images 18-19); and by French Fauvist Modernist, Henri Matisse (1869-1954), a delightful triptych (Image 20).

Moutai, anyone? 🥃 Puerto Rican-American artist

Moutai, anyone? 🥃 Puerto Rican-American artist Enoc Perez's latest exhibition delves into the allure of Bacardi rum bottles, Moutai, and cocktail glasses, exploring consumer culture’s promises and pitfalls through personal & cultural lenses. The works embody sensory richness and examine the enduring appeal of commercial seduction. A highlight of the exhibition is Perez’s paintings of Moutai (pictured above), the prestigious Chinese liquor that symbolises status & tradition. Perez skillfully intertwines personal narratives within broader historical contexts, exploring the cultural significance & commercial aspects of Moutai. Until 9 Nov.
