Hong Kong · Home Kong II｜Exhibition Introduction

Galerie Koo is delighted to announce a group exhibition "Hong Kong ・ Home Kong II" of four Hong Kong artists – Joshua Leung, Kwong Kwok Wai, Pen So and WM Li.

Through their distinct perspectives and sensory experiences, coupled with their preferred mediums and techniques, these four artists bring a personal touch to the cityscapes of Hong Kong, each renowned for their individual styles. Every artwork offers viewers a chance to immerse themselves in a unique sense of excitement and evoke personal emotions, allowing their imagination to flourish.

Momento 2023, Oil on canvas, H92x W61 cm

Joshua believes that art is a powerful tool for communicating values and perspectives - a glue that binds communities together. His works are not only narratives rooted in reality but also, retain a sense of self- conscious spirituality that is intertwined with the abstraction of the subject matter.

The Map of A Myth XXV (2023), Oil on canvas, H61x W51cm

For Kwok Wai finding 'Elysium' is a universal desire, he expressed it in a contemporary approach using abstractions to push the boundaries of interpretation. Using old local maps as a reference in his painting process, he transformed them into organic marks and shapes of a new imaginary land. For him, it’s a process of rebirth and reconciliation with the unknown self.

Flying Over the City (2017), Ink Pen Drawing, H29.7 x W42 cm

Pen So, on the other hand, likes to pay attention to what is happening around him, and with his detailed style of drawing, he reflects the real side of society and the rapid changes in the city, hence he wants to use his drawings to remind people to look up more often at what is around them on the streets, as anything can suddenly disappear without one’s acknowledgment.

On the Lion Rock (2023), Ink and colour on paper, H53.5 x W39cm

"We should be surrounded by the positivity in the world while seeking happiness. I love having the opportunity to see and feel the beauty of the world with my own attendance. That's why I preserved my memories through my artworks and share them with everyone." – WM Li
