Nestled in the vibrant Wong Chuk Hang neighbourhood, this innovative art space promises to be a captivating destination for art enthusiasts, collectors, and creatives alike. Dedicated to bringing exceptional art experiences to our community, the gallery’s inaugural exhibition, “Metamorphosis: Japan’s Evolving Society”, invites viewers to embark on a journey through contemporary Japanese art.

This transformative showcase features an ensemble of twelve exceptional contemporary Japanese artists, including Yuichi Hirako, Tatsuhito Horikoshi, Ei Kaneko, Takumi Kokubo, Akitsuna Komori, Hiroya Kurata, Tomona Matsukawa, Ryo Matsuoka, Minori Oga, Hiro Sugiyama, Ichi Tashiro and TIDE, whose works beautifully encapsulate the spirit of adaptation, resilience, and creative expression.

These artworks envelop the viewer in a world of emotions and creativity, using vibrant colours and familiar objects to provoke questions that challenge preconceived notions and encourage a deeper exploration of informed and learned perceptions.
