Al Held at White Cube Hong Kong

Reflect on the creative side of your life with a visit to White Cube this month. Discover the first exhibition of works by Al Held (1928–2005) in Hong Kong. One of America’s foremost post-war painters, the exhibition features works drawn from across Held’s long career, focusing on his Modernist roots and his sustained exploration of abstract painting. The talented artist was born in Brooklyn in 1928 and believed in the ability of abstraction to reach beyond our primary senses. He explored the access to what he saw as a “reality in which our five senses are of little use”. He has often been linked with the Abstract Expressionists–although of a younger generation than Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock, his was a continuous search to expand the language of abstraction.

When: November 22, 2019–January 11, 2020

Where: White Cube, 50 Connaught Rd Central, Central, Hong Kong, +852 2592 2000

BANKSY

“Banksy: Genius or Vandal?” Exhibition in Hong Kong

“Banksy: Genius or Vandal?” brings us nearer to the controversial artistic world of one of the most influential creators of today.

The pieces, from private international collections, are being shown in Hong Kong for the first time.

CURRI 2019.0001 (2)

John Currin’s first solo exhibition in Asia at Gagosian Hong Kong

Enjoy a day of art appreciation at Gagosian and discover John Currin’s exhibition. This is his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong and actually, his first exhibition in Asia. Currin channels his prodigious painterly skills into idealized yet perverse images that both charm and challenge. He is a graduate student from Yale University in the 1980s. He began exploring themes of innocence, humor, and eroticism, creating highly mannerist images of horses and girls with feathered hair, large-headed caricatures, and portraits of individuals and couples made in a painterly language entirely his own. His detailed renderings of human flesh in sensuous, glowing brushwork has frequently prompted comparison to the Dutch masters including the celebrated Golden Age painter Cornelis van Haarlem, whose paintings were exhibited alongside Currin’s at the Frans Hals Museum in the Netherlands in 2011.

When: November 26, 2019–February 29, 2020

Where: 7/F Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, Central, Hong Kong

For more details, visit www.gagoasian.com
