Abu Dhabi Art opens on 22 November. Besides Rossi & Rossi’s presentation at Booth G11, visit Hong Kong Focus section at G5 to see works by Szelit Cheung, Mark Chung and Nicole Wong.

Light is the basic element that makes up the human visual perception of dimensions. Diverting from meticulously structured spaces, Szelit Cheung fixates on the transformative power of light in his second solo exhibition at Rossi & Rossi. Titled 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸, the exhibition presents a new body of paintings on linen and wood, all depictions of spaces illuminated by a single light source. The perpetual ray of light often beams through a window, a skylight or an opening in a wall, halting our sense of time. The abstraction of structural features detaches Cheung’s works from symbolic or narrative representation – leaving viewers to decide what they see.

Schoeni Projects is pleased to co-present with THE SHOPHOUSE, ‘Door to Door’, a residency programme developed as a cultural exchange programme between artists based in Hong Kong and the UK. Over the summer of 2023, this dual residency involves an exchange of artistic ideas, creating dialogue between participating artists Szelit Cheung and Olga Grotova, and their audience.

Spirituality is a broad, etymologically ever-evolving concept. Humans turn to it for a multitude of reasons: to seek divinity, to reach transcendence from within, to foster kinship. 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, opening at Rossi & Rossi Hong Kong on 23 September, outlines interpretations and expressions of the intangible and elusive matter of spirituality. The works on view, including paintings, drawings and sculptures, are idiosyncratic visual expressions stemming from personal queries on spirituality and the introspection that follows.

A Collection in Two Acts
From the collection of Yuri van der Leest, curated by Chris Wan
Rossi & Rossi Wong Chuk Hang

A Collection in Two Acts opens on July 16 through September 16 at Rossi & Rossi Hong Kong. Curated by Chris Wan, the exhibition utilises the private collection of Yuri van der Leest to present two frameworks of collectorship: one is institutional, such as museums and archives — treating artworks as files to be dealt with under a given context of art history; the other is personal, like a private collection built with artworks as repositories of memories and personal encounters. Through the use of critical fabulation, the two modes of art collecting are juxtaposed to raise question about the structure and agency in the art system.

Touch Gallery is pleased to announce our participation at Art Central 2022, featuring five artists from Hong Kong and Japan: Kamio Ogata, Satoshi Kino, Sara Tse, Cheung Sze Lit and William Lim. Through exhibiting a mixture of ceramics and paintings, it shows how each artist’s creative background affects and changes the visual presentation to the work. Also, it constructs a close relationship between the artist and the work, creates a dialogue between each of us, bringing a new visual experience to the audience.

“Void is full, full is void”.

Void is a concept, a kind of metaphysics, and it can also be a kind of aesthetics.

There are small changes between the voids, not only the invisible state. The artwork presents the void in the space through simple structure, lines, light and shadow.

Let’s join us on a journey of discovery in the void and solid.

Whitestone Gallery H Queen’s is delighted to present “Space and Memory,” a group exhibition showcasing works by three local emerging artists — Kwong San Tang, Szelit Cheung, and Tap Chan — as part of the HKAGA Summer Programme.

The concept of space has been fundamental to shaping our lived experiences and widely explored by artists and writers across time; from Gaston Bachelard’s monumental work that changed our thoughts and memories of domestic spheres; to Michel Foucault’s heterotopias which refer to ‘places outside of all places’; to the Light and Space movement’s rigorous investigation of perceptual phenomena in the 1960s and 1970s. Similarly, these three Hong Kong artists investigate the ways in which spaces are represented, perceived, and imagined in relation to identities, dreams, and memories, opening up gateways for reflection and contemplation.

ARTISTRY MOMENTS with Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong presented by Tang Contemporary Art.

“Sushi – A World in a Grain of Sand” featuring works of eleven artists from Japan, China, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Iran. The exhibition is curated by Xn Office, a young Chinese curator team founded by art historian Penny Dan Xu and artist Ni Youyu. Displaying artworks of exceptionally small size, this exhibition celebrates the exquisite, and calls our attention to the power of the minute.

The title of the exhibition references the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2012). Jiro Ono, the main character of the film, is more than a master chef, he is an artist chasing perfection in something very small. In the same fashion, the exhibition centers on a set of keywords, such as ‘minuteness’, ‘delicacy’, ‘ordinariness’, and ‘craftsmanship’, displaying works in different media, all of which invite the viewer to “see the large in the small”.

Upon the completion of the two-month artist-in-residence project, Rossi & Rossi will revert to a gallery space for the solo show of Szelit Cheung from July 3rd to 31st, 2021. Pursuing his expedition in the concept of void, Cheung amplifies the characteristics of our gallery space by portraying light and colour in an exquisite manner. His canvases have brought the gallery out of its ordinary presence, enabling it to undergo a metamorphosis from being an exhibition venue to becoming an exhibition’s theme. Titled Space, the show comprises a series of paintings that depict the semi-fictional interior based on the actual structures of the gallery. Space will mark itself as the final show at this gallery space which Rossi & Rossi has inhabited since 2013, and we look forward to presenting more exciting exhibitions at our future address.

Light, as the origin of vision, brings along shadows and space. The various wavelengths of light constitute the spectrum and thus colour and reflection. If an artist can express light freely, there will be great sense of colour, light and shadow and spatial arrangement. In this exhibition, numerous Hong Kong artists apply their own twist on the theme “shining moment”.

An art gallery is a space where artworks are presented; at the same time, it can become the subject matter of the works, themselves. This summer, Rossi & Rossi will open up its Wong Chuk Hang gallery to artist Szelit Cheung (b. 1988), who will experiment with the interplay of display space and works of art for a residency that runs from 8 May to 31 July 2021.

We are honoured to invite Hong Kong contemporary artist Szelit Cheung, to be the artist of Highlight of the Month in January 2021, presenting his latest oil paintings - Shimmer.

The recent art creation of Szelit Cheung, is aware of different kinds of spaces, such as blank spaces or neglected corners, lead him to contemplate the fascinating imagination derived from space, and further think about the concept of "emptiness". For him, "emptiness" is not literally equal to emptiness or nothingness, but a transitional state between viewing "emptiness" and before generating any imagination and feeling. He often studies the relationship between space and the concept of emptiness, and meanwhile, he is also thinking about how space is remembered. We can understand more about how he considers another aspect of "emptiness" - the relationship between space and emptiness by appreciating his paintings.

XX sparks off an array of thoughts and interpretations, from Roman numerals signifying 20, to the idea of crossover, which brings together different disciplines, and the concept of variables, which germinates and gives rise to new hybrids and surprising outcomes.

Presented by Hong Kong Arts Centre and curated by Hong Kong Art School, the exhibition is featuring works by 33 artists / units. All participating artists are dear friends of the School, they include alumni of the School, former and current academic staff members, as well as founding staff members of the School.

The works are deriving from and at the same time bridging four major artistic disciplines, namely Ceramics, Painting, Photography and Sculpture. The exhibition guides visitors through a visual journey which vividly depicts the artistic accomplishments of the School over the past two decades.

The exhibition showcases Cheung’s ingenuity on the theme of “void”. In Zen Buddhism, it is believed that all things come from Śūnyatā (emptiness or voidness). For Cheung, “void” is not a concept, but something that can be understood through experience. His work explores the relationship between space, chiaroscuro, and hues through a minimal setting, reflecting on the interactions between one's self and environment.
