About the event
As the art world gathers for the renowned Art021, a captivatingly playful group exhibition emerges from the gallery of New Art Est-Ouest Auctions at H Queen's. This summer showcase presents a cadre of the most promising young talents the contemporary art scene has to offer, and promises transports viewers beyond the confines of the present and familiar, delving into the whispers of the future.
Building upon the previous exhibition, "Present Tense - Tomorrow Odyssey" illuminates a warren of possibilities and the pressing exigencies of our time, showcasing the unparalleled capacity of art through a fantastical array of works from seasoned and emerging contemporary artists, including Emi Kuraya, KYNE, Cheung Tsz Hin, and Izumi Kato, and many more. This exhibition invites viewers to undergo a playful and vibrant journey, finding beauty amidst the sensory onslaught.
Here, the viewer is confronted with works by the rising new generation of artists that challenge, provoke, and enchant, compelling a whimsical perspective where the familiar is rendered unfamiliar, the prosaic is elevated to the profound, and the mind is liberated to explore the vast untapped potential of the human experience and the artistic invention of a time that sheds the shackles of present normality and immerses itself in the boundless possibilities that contemplate the divergent trajectories that lie ahead.
A portion of the proceeds from this exhibition will be donated to Mind HK (Mind Mental Health Hong Kong Limited), a local mental health charity, subsequent to the deduction of operational costs, with the hope of contributing modestly to local mental health efforts.
