EVENT DESCRIPTION
Karin Weber Gallery is excited to collaborate with local veteran May Fung as a curator for a captivating solo exhibition by Hong Kong artist Kensa Hung. This project marks the gallery’s inaugural collaboration with May Fung as well as the debut showcase of the artist’s paintings in our gallery.
Fung remarks, “When I first came across this batch of paintings created by Kensa Hung, I saw different animals in strange colours living in bizarre spaces. It was a mental shock to me.”
This same sense of bewilderment is set to reverberate within our transformed gallery space-turned-jungle. ‘Fables in the Wilderness’ transports viewers to fantastical, nature-inspired realms, where a lush, primordial jungle teems with vividly hued flora and fauna, while a surreal underwater world depicts sinuous ribbons of kelp intertwined with mystical, jewel-toned fish.
The paintings exude a sense of coiled energy, with undulating serpentine forms weaving through a kaleidoscope of neon greens and purples. Collectively, these imaginative works invite the viewer to explore the wonders of the natural world through a magical, dreamlike lens.
