Perrotin Hong Kong is pleased to present Minority Flags, the first solo exhibition in Hong Kong by the Japanese artist Yayoi Deki. Known for her mesmerizingly intricate finger-stamped paintings, Deki continues her exploration of the Flags series, transforming the geometry of various LGBTQ+ pride flags into subtly textured fields of miniature faces. The resulting works […]
In Susumu Kamijo’s latest exhibition, Table for Us, at Perrotin Hong Kong, the artist steps sideways into the realm of still life, only to transform the genre with a sleight of hand that feels at once candid and elusive. Known for his playful, abstract paintings of poodles and other sentient forms, Kamijo here shifts gears […]
The art of Kato Izumi is characterized by a series of captivating humanoid figures, their identities veiled in mystery. This recurring motif acts as an archetype revisited by Kato again and again, encapsulating “a visual anthropology of not-exactly-human-but-humanoid figuration.” These figures evoke reminiscences of Kodama, tree spirits seen in Japanese anime, bearing qualities reminiscent of […]
In the creative world of Otani Workshop, solitude pervades each individual. Subtle expressions, unwittingly revealed in solitude, encapsulate everything: smiles brought on by memories, foggy uncertainty about the future, and bewilderment in the present, all frozen in a fleeting slice of time. During his university leave, Otani embarked on a solitary journey, echoing Junzaburō Nishiwaki’s […]
The two decisive terms of Xie Qi’s exhibition title, ‘shame’ and ‘intimacy’, are worth thinking about. They are at opposite ends of each other, although the ease with which Xie Qi has joined them, suggests otherwise. Intimacy, on the one hand, is something that arrives as an effect of a close familiarity or friendship. Whether […]
In Christiane Pooley's works, waterfalls, ponds, wheat fields, and highways are recurring themes, their precise locations and temporalities unknown, and dark undercurrents hidden beneath the seemingly peaceful landscapes. The Araucanía region of Chile, where the artist was born and raised, has long been a breeding ground for complex tensions. Conflicts between indigenous people (predominantly Mapuche) […]

Perrotin Hong Kong is pleased to present the second solo exhibition by Jens Fänge in Hong Kong since 2017, featuring a body of new paintings as part of greater mise-en-scene that will transform the gallery itself into a human-scale composition. When Walter Benjamin wrote of art’s waning “aura” in his seminal 1935 essay, “The Work […]
Perrotin is pleased to announce its collaboration with San Francisco-based artist Koak with her first solo presentation in Asia, The Driver, an exhibition of new paintings and sculpture. “To project feelings into outer objects is the first way of symbolizing, and thus of conceiving those feelings,” wrote Susanne Langer in her vital philosophical treatise on […]
Perrotin Hong Kong is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Jean-Michel Othoniel, marking his second gallery presentation in Hong Kong. Oscillating between fragility and strength, the infinite and the tangible, rationality and sensuality, Othoniel’s artworks embrace and transcend opposites in order to expand our conception of reality, reconciling contradictions and opening up realms of […]
Gregor Hildebrandt’s signature media are cassette tape and vinyl, which he collages and assembles into apparently minimalist yet latently romantic paintings, sculptures, and installations. Resting in silence behind the glossy surface of his analog aesthetics, which verges on black and white monochrome, music and cinema haunt his practice. Whether pictorial or sculptural, all of his […]
