WHAT
The LA-based conceptual artist’s new showcase features paintings, neon installations, and a newly-unveiled series of bronze sculptures. The works build on the artist’s ongoing engagement with the city of Hong Kong, first initiated in his 2018 exhibition ‘Slow Burn’. The present show continues his exploration of materiality, symbolism, and cultural intervention, expanding dialogues around cultural authorship and art history, breaking down Eurocentric standards while electrifying African diasporic identity.

WHY
The artist reimagines the visual and linguistic landscapes of music, popular culture, and sports symbolism, deconstructing and reconstructing cultural motifs to create nuanced narratives that favour Afro-centric perspectives. In this exhibition, he produces a cultural flip that re-examines the established canons of art history, philosophy, and language, all the while dissecting the persistent hegemony of Eurocentric ideals. His works defy these dominant frameworks, offering instead an Afrocentric vision he terms Afro-Esotericism.
