WHAT
The exhibition is a presentation of paintings by the British-American artist (b.1989), marking her solo debut in Hong Kong. The 11 canvases, painted during the Los Angeles fires this January, show ethereal, empty landscapes imbued with an unsettling, atmospheric calm. Some paintings suggest the arrival of unfathomable calamity, while others impart the cool surrender of catastrophic aftermath.

WHY
In these works, the artist invents a wholly new genre of painting that blurs the boundaries between plein-air landscape, still-life, and virtual reality. The places she depicts, convincing and hallucinatory, merge spatial expectations with mystifying fantasy. Her practice mirrors the soul-searching of our zeitgeist, in which we must contend with both our environmental impact and AI sentience.
