LOSt Chix | CEET Fouad Solo Exhibition Introduction

Wei Gallery is honored to announce the opening of Lost Chix, the latest solo show of our global exclusive presented artist CEET Fouad. His latest works made during the turbulent post-epidemic era will be exhibited, to bring friends hope and optimism.

Like many people and artists overseas, CEET has not returned to Hong Kong in three years. It is such a long wait for him who has integrated into the Hong Kong community. This is the first time that CEET has returned to Hong Kong after the pandemic. The exhibition is also a mark for his re-beginning to create glocalized art for Home Kong.

"LOSt Chix" embodies the childhood of CEET as well as his observation of contemporary society. The real and virtual world collides, making reality unpredictable. The feeling of being trapped in the labyrinth of life today recalls CEET the feeling of being lost in his youth. Being in this era makes us feel like being in a maze full of locked doors and long for the correct keys to move forward.

The correct keys are not untraceable. In fact, CEET believes that a creator exists in both real and virtual world, who is by no means a dominant dictator, but an inspirer. He prompts us to explore freely, and to break away from so-called truths.

As social animals, we are not alone even in the maze. Relationships, warmth, support, and belief are vitality clues from the Creator, to lead us to the doors of peace, happiness, and belonging. Through this exhibition, CEET wishes to connect people together and inspire us the spirit of community.

In CEET’s works, his subjects maintain the state of looking up. They are telling us that we need not be afraid when we feel lost. Let's move optimistically and play freely in this maze.

The exhibition will be open from 1 September 2022 to 7 November 2022. Please stay tuned for the release of CEET's new book《LOS》, art talks, and other following activities!

About CEET Fouad

• 1971 born in Oran, Algeria
• Moroccan French-Hong Kong Artist
• Currently lives and works in France and Hong Kong SAR

CEET’s humanized chickens portray emotions and personalities. Through the colorful and humorous approach, he criticizes modern society as bringing up ‘followers’, afraid to stand out as individuals and to ‘chicken-out’. When CEET landed in China, he took scribbling visual images as a way of communication. These initial sketches soon evolved into means of experience, which also made him relate the experience of living in densely populated China to the feeling of being one of the chickens in the masses. The small bubbly chickens of various colors and shapes serve as a parody of humans living in this modern, overcrowded world.
