VILLEPIN HONG KONG

Villepin opens doors with “Friendship and Reconciliation: Zao Wou-Ki”

What’s not love about Hong Kong’s art gallery scene? It’s provocative, engaging and always inspirational. Explore an exhibition of work by the late artist Zao Wou-Ki, the Chinese painter most celebrated for his embrace of Eastern and Western artistic traditions. Titled “Friendship and Reconciliation”, the exhibition aims to address not only Zao Wou-Ki’s creative resolution of disparate cultures and painterly styles but also the friendships he formed with fellow artists and collectors throughout the course of his career–friendship is a core value that stands at the heart of the new gallery.

The exhibition also marks the centennial anniversary of the artist’s birth. Shaped by Arthur and Dominique de Villepin’s passion for art, Villepin is a gallery created by collectors for collectors. Inspired by the founders’ own collections and profound knowledge of the Asian art market, Villepin offers a new gallery concept based on the art of collecting.

When: Until September 2020

Where: Villepin, G-2/F, 53-55 Hollywood Road, Central, Hong Kong

Lehmann Maupin Robin Rhode, S, 2014

Lehmann Maupin Presents “Power Wall” | Politically Subversive Works of Robin Rhode & Nari Ward 

We love the power of two that’s evident at Lehmann Maupin’s first double exhibition of work by artists Nari Ward and Robin Rhode. This special exhibition is made extra special as it’s the first time the two artists are in dialogue with one another. The exhibition will highlight the ways both Rhode and Ward uniquely engage with the wall through an accumulation of marks that produce large-scale drawings steeped in a socio-political context.

Based in New York, Ward is renowned for his ability to combine politics and historical references with personal identity, creating work that is unifying and humanistic at a time of extreme division worldwide. On the other hand, Rhode is based in Berlin and has come of age in the newly post-apartheid South Africa. Together, Rhode and Ward offer a unique perspective of our complex socio-political world through their politically subversive work. It’s important to immerse ourselves in these mediums of expression to awaken our sense and role in the world we live in.

When: April 3–May 16, 2020

Where: 407 Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, Hong Kong

Over The Influence April 2020 to do hong kong

Over the Influence Presents Mark Whalen Debut Exhibition in Hong Kong “Gentle Reminders”

Over the Influence is one of our favorite places for art that moves our mind and emotions. This month, the exhibition “Gentle Reminders” by Los Angeles-based artist Mark Whalen should be a top to do this month of April. The first presentation of the artist in Hong Kong will feature 10 new sculptural works and a series of wall-hung reliefs.

Developing from his past series, the newest body of Mark Whalen’s sculptural works features a mixture of everyday themes of work and play. A peek into his work confronts the viewer with the proximity of light humor and meticulous planning. Though the final results may be lighthearted, it is obvious that it took careful calculations and meticulous structure applied to create the illusion of buoyancy in something made of such heavy materials. You’ll find figures playfully toy with sharpened pencils and slick sausage links, while palms are wide open in replacement of the ears. Add some fun to your day at this exhibition.

When: Tuesday–Saturday, March 28-May 9, 2020

Where: Over The Influence, 1/F, 159 Hollywood Road, Central, Hong Kong
