WOAW Gallery is pleased to present Chinese artist Kang Haoxian’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, In Montion, which will be held at the gallery’s Wan Chai space from August 31 to October 14, 2024. Kang Haoxian is known for his grand and atmospheric paintings. His past works are known for combining magical realism elements with pop culture, but in In Montion he will change his style and bring a new artistic creation. Art attempts to start from the subtle moments in life and more specific objects, so in this series of artworks, the brushstrokes are transferred to "wheels". 
People drive vehicles and make tires move. For Kang Haoxian, "wheels" have always been an indispensable part of society since their appearance. And based on the increasingly progressive needs of development, humans began to produce and use tires in large quantities. He noticed that tires are a special tool, but human love makes them more diverse. The craftsmanship and performance are a reflection of the driver's ultimate pursuit, and human emotional involvement is reflected here like a mirror. On the other hand, in this series of works, he emphasizes a unique perception of the friction between tires, the environment and the road, and transforms it into a philosophical and poetic metaphor - tires take people far away, and also take people to an unexpected and farther future. 
The artist explores the emotions wandering in private spaces through the subtle portrayal of the interaction between people and cars. The woman reflected by the reflection of the car window in "Live Free or Die" (2023), the arm hanging outside the car window in "Brave Action" (2024), and the sharp contrast between the breath-holding car interior and the blood-like red outside the car window in "I enjoy my own tranquility" (2024) all demonstrate the artist's great interest in the emotional depiction in private spaces. For the artist, the world is like a big garage. In addition to "cars", it is also filled with the emotions that humans express all the time. "Wheels" may not be a regular theme in paintings, but they are an important component of vehicles and an indispensable part of people's daily lives. "Motion" emphasizes the permeability of art in our daily lives, trying to capture the complexity of human emotions through the reliable existence of car tires.

I received the e-ticket and made the reservation. It was very convenient to enter the park. There were not many people in the park. Except for the newly added Frozen area, the queue time was not long. I could have a lot of fun. The staff provided very good service.

Remember you can bring food, snacks, and drinks in this park for personal consumption, so you do not need to purchase food at the park. Also, remember to pay attention to the show and time schedules in the main entrance. We almost missed the younger pandas viewing. Unfortunately, there were at least 2 rides under maintainence (the polar express and another roller coaster that had a light purple colour). Almost all the rides have height restrictions. For kids around the age of 5 that has a height less than 122cm, then they can only ride on the polar express roller coaster and the rides in the kids area. In the kids area, there are only a small merry-go-around, a train ride, a playground, a rock climbing slope, and a maze. In the adults area, kids under 122cm can go on the adult ferris wheel, viewing tower, adult merry-go-around. Also, this amusement park closes around 7pm, so schedule your time wisely. Cable car is definitely worth riding on. The sceneries were amazing. It has a limit of 6 people per cable car. It takes approximately 8-12 minutes per ride. The other under the sea train ride only takes 5 minutes or so, and arrives at a similar destination. The under the sea train has no scenery other than the digital and light effects inside the train. We ate at the rainforest snack shack. It was HKD $88 per snack. We picked fries and chicken wings. If you buy in multiples of 2, then the price is around HKD $156 or so. I tried the clown roller coaster, and it was rather short. Honestly, all the rides durations are shorter compared to other theme parks that I visited. This is more suitable for families that love animals, instead of young people that want the excitement from rides.

Taiping Mountain came to Hong Kong without going to Taiping Mountain, but I went a few times before and took the cable car. This time I followed a few friends to climb the middle of the night. Traveling on the mountain to find the Wizard of the Moon, swimming the sea and playing dragons. Probably the route is Central Garden Road and Mid-Levels Escalator - Old Peak Road - Taiping Peak - Down Central. I have to say that Hong Kong is indeed suitable for mountain travel. This route is not too difficult. It takes about 40 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. I climbed up and saw the happiness of the night scene. I couldn&#39;t feel the drop by the cable car. Then I also met a wild boar 🐗 crossing the road.

amazing view going up the peak on the tram! it can be a bit packed depending on the time you head there and the seats require some strategic planning if you intend to catch good view of the scenery. there are a handful of eateries and shops to browse as well as opportunities to capture the skyline of the city.

Museum masters must punch in the museum wherever they go! There are few people. It&rsquo;s good to take pictures. Unlike other places, I don&rsquo;t know whether to take exhibits or shoot people! There are also a lot of things. The gold jewelry donated by well-known big men are beautiful.
