Description
Opera Gallery Hong Kong is proud to present
Abstraction Athwart Worlds: Ties Between
Modern Worlds, a showcase of renowned
Chinese artists including Zao Wou-Ki, Chu
Teh-Chun and Feng Xiao-Min, along with
their Western cognates, Pierre Soulages,
Hans Hartung and Jean-Paul Riopelle in
a compendium of works to provoke and
stimulate your imagination and interpretation.
The curated exhibition of Post-War and
contemporary art offers a cultural exchange,
traditional techniques and exploration of
ideas. The exhibition ties together abstract
works that set out to uncover the rich interplay
among culture, location and historic moments,
allowing one to navigate and discover the
artistic conversation that has developed
between Eastern and Western abstract art
during the artists’ time spent in France. It is
one of the pillars of abstract art: away from
constraints and conventions, artists paint
journeys of the soul where places of origin
do not matter, but where marvels lie in the
adventure itself.
With Abstraction Athwart Worlds: Ties
Between Modern Worlds, a showcase to
honour the life’s works of transnational artists
whose legacies will continue to influence and
inspire for generations to come. Come delve
into the works, and be part of this modern
chapter of the conversation that links the
Eastern and Westerns worlds.
