David Zwirner is pleased to present an exhibition of paintings by Brazilian artist Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato (1900–1995), on view at the gallery’s Hong Kong location. Marking Lorenzato’s third solo exhibition with the gallery and the first presentation of the artist’s work in Asia, this exhibition coincides with Lorenzato’s inclusion in the 60th Venice Biennale, organized by curator Adriano Pedrosa, on view through November 24, 2024. Among the foremost Brazilian artists of his generation, Lorenzato developed a singular body of paintings centered on his fastidious observations of everyday subjects in his hometown of Belo Horizonte—including favelas, semi-urban landscapes, and scenes of agriculture and rural industry. Lorenzato’s distinctive compositions are characterized by reduced geometric forms and densely textured surfaces that the artist achieved through the use of richly colored, self-made pigments applied with brushes, combs, and forks. Imbued with an assured freedom of expression, Lorenzato’s canvases masterfully capture the vitality of the artist’s surroundings as well as the colors and textures of the natural world.

ob’s world is one where tranquility pervades. Gentle hues, misty scenes, and wide-eyed, reticent girls create a sanctuary where one’s defenses quietly dissolve. Softened contours rendered in oil pastels form a blue haze, imbued with the spirit of gathered moisture. This atmosphere stirs emotions, allowing them to accumulate, ferment, and flow within. Everything in the painting morphs gradually, sometimes fading into nothingness, at other times reemerging with vivid clarity. Dreamlike yet grounded in tangible objects, these scenes navigate the delicate boundary between reality and dreamscape. Water transcends being merely a subject in ob’s paintings; it becomes a medium. Be it a pond where water lilies bloom, a distant coastline glimpsed during a picnic, a lake traversed by boat, or a bathtub filled with water, water carries the artist’s intrinsic imaginings of matter. Delving into the essence of water, she consistently expands and draws on its fluidity, uncertainty, boundaries, and transparency. This reshapes reality with subjective distortions, all fluidly converged through water. Here, water acts as a catalyst, opening the passageway to another world.

The exhibition will cover several sculpture series created by the artist in recent years.

The works take poetry as a starting point, particularly that of her mother, Jennifer Rankin (1941-79), exploring landscape as a vehicle for emotion and personal memory. Through a combination of embroidery and painted marks, Rankin weaves together personal, historical, and literary references to create colorful works that are at once topographical, cosmological, and psychological.

Soluna Fine Art sincerely presents the "Pneuma 숨결" group exhibition, which showcases the works of four renowned Korean contemporary artists, Choi Young-wook, Kim Deok-ryong, Kim Young-hun and Lee Ki-soo. The word Pneuma comes from ancient Greek and means breath. It can also be extended to mean spirit or soul. This exhibition aims to break the boundaries between art and material, embody the essence of Korean aesthetics, and jointly experience the breath that connects works and souls. Through the works of the four participating artists in "Pneuma 숨결", each of which combines traditional culture and personal colors, with their eclectic and rich and varied artistic styles, they jointly present the unique spirit of the Korean contemporary art world. **Cui Yongxu** uses realistic creative techniques to bring the large white porcelain pot (moon pot) from the Joseon Dynasty into the painting, allowing this long-standing Korean traditional craft to be reproduced on the canvas across time, space and media. . Cui's works emphasize the unique ice cracks on the surface of porcelain, which symbolize the karma and retribution in life and depict the trajectory of life. Inspired by the mother-of-pearl craftsmanship of Goryeo, **Jin Delong** is good at using mother-of-pearl and wood as materials, using exquisite craftsmanship to present the sublime aesthetics of nature and interpret the endless vitality of all things in the universe. Kim's latest series of works uses pearlescent spheres as the main axis, which are reminiscent of the marbles and soap bubbles that people couldn't put down in childhood. The beautiful memories of childhood are used to retain the bright moments of the Mood for Love, leading the audience to immerse themselves in the time and space of Kim's creation. **Kim Yong-hun** uses the traditional Korean painting technique "leather strokes" and adds elements of radio waves in the virtual real-time space of the digital age to express the electronic nostalgia experienced in the transition from analogy to the digital world. Jin's works use uninterrupted brush strokes to draw flowing stripes on the canvas, retaining the traces and layers of leather brushes. They use the ubiquitous noise vibrations in today's daily life to reflect the changes of the times, and at the same time use color to reflect the artist's personal changes in mood. . Ceramic artist **Li Qizhu** skillfully combines traditional techniques and contemporary aesthetics to create a charming white porcelain pot (Moon Pot), which fully demonstrates the timeless value of porcelain crafts across centuries. Since the moon pot must be made by shaping the upper and lower halves separately and then combining them into one, the finished product does not seek to be completely symmetrical and perfect. Just like the bright moon, which also has waxy and waning parts, we can learn from it the philosophy of life of appreciating the beauty of imperfections.

Gianluca Crudele's paintings are inspired by classical mythology and are based on the binary opposition between chaos and control. The protagonists in the works have a powerful confrontation with nature, chance and fate. The Italian artist's narrative paintings often explore the conflict between authority and rebellion in classical texts, from the fable of the outlaw Zhi in the fourth-century Taoist classic Zhuangzi to the harbingers of unfortunate fate in classical mythology. In his latest solo exhibition at Square Street Gallery, Crudele examines the story of Echo and Narcissus in Ovid’s Metamorphoses and incorporates the ill-fated nymph into his work Amidst the turbulent landscape.

Blue Lotus Gallery is pleased to present Voices from the Walled City, a new joint photography exhibition exploring the unique history and culture of Kowloon Walled City through the work of photographers Ian Lambot, Greg Girard, Bianca Tse and Keeping Lee. The exhibition runs from 17 October to 1 December 2024, providing a rich visual history of a controversial and peculiar community. Photographs are an important medium for collective memory and preservation of heritage, especially in the Walled City, a place that will disappear. Few people are willing to venture into the Walled City to document it. However, Ian Lambot and Greg Girard did so in the years leading up to its demolition, culminating in the publication of the book City of Darkness, which has sold over 20,000 copies to date. The series not only preserves the cultural heritage of the walled city through photos and stories, but also provides inspiration for contemporary artists, such as Bianca Tse, who showcases a series of artificial intelligence digital art works, and the latest hit movie "Kowloon Walled City: The Besieged City".

Their efforts include artificial intelligence, world-building, performance art, archive-diving, and model-making, culminating in takes of home that skew towards either literally imaginary or imaginatively literal. Chan Oi Yan collaborated with her family to prompt AI to produce images of their dream house, printed on 'instant' film as if they were real, fleeting moments. Justin Hui used family photos as a research tool for recapturing images and models related to his grandmother's life, fashioning himself into an architect of family memory. Kevin Ling inserted himself into the frame as performance artist, using a drone to document his act of 'washing out' the ground beneath our constructed landscapes. Almond Chu created a world of his own, merging the mediums of photography with sci-fi, landscape, performance, and paint. Enjoy their stories, experience, and expertise on the notion of 'hybrid' photographic art-making in this second of a series of four artist talks at the 2024 HKIPF. 活動詳情講者 ｜陳靄欣、朱德華、許慕義、凌中雲 時間 ｜2024/11/24 2:30pm - 4:30pm 地點 ｜香港藝術中心包氏畫廊5樓 語言 ｜粵語 無論是媒材運用或實際行動，參加《萬象有光—家園想像》攝影展的藝術家作品都遠遠超越了攝影印刷和相框展示的傳統元素。他們致力創作的作品由人工智慧、奇幻概念、表演藝術、舊檔案尋源、立體模型製作，還有介乎真實的想像和想像成真實的家園影像。 陳靄欣與家人合作，以人工智慧指令，製作出他們夢想中的家園圖像，再打印成以即影即有相片，猶如真實的即逝轉瞬；許慕義以家庭照片為研究工具，重新建構與祖母生活相關的影像和模型，將自己塑造成家庭記憶的建築師；凌中雲在無人機的鏡頭下是一名行為藝術家，他記錄自身「洗涮」人造景觀的行為。朱德華創造了一個專屬於自己的世界，將攝影媒材與科幻、風景、表演和繪畫元素融為一體。 請參與攝影節2024的四場藝術家講座系列之二，傾聽他們關於混合攝影藝術創作的故事、經驗和專業知識。 The Hong Kong Photographic Culture Association is financially supported by the Art Development Matching Grants Scheme of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Kwai Fung Hin Gallery is pleased to announce that it will represent the Italian emerging painter Paola Angelini in Asia. The gallery will also host the artist's first exhibition in Asia, "Original Image", and an art lecture in November to explore her artistic creation in depth. Angelini is famous for her symbolic language. Her canvases are full of the atmosphere of interlaced time and space. Her aesthetics exude a discordant silence, stagnating space but subverting the audience's vision. Her dreamlike images use ancient symbols and metaphors to examine our image-dominated information culture, prompting us to find the original image of life. The exhibition advocates a view and imagination that transcends the constraints of time and framework thinking through the artist's tense works.
