Art Cologne + NEW POSITIONS

For 20 years, 120 exhibitions, and 95 art fair presentations, the gallery has served as a vital site for the presentation and discourse of contemporary art. To mark this occasion, Galerie Christian Lethert will open a group exhibition on September 5 featuring works by all of the gallery’s artists, celebrating its anniversary.

Day01.Gallery brings together new work by Marisa Purcell, Vita Cochran and Szelit Cheung.

ay01. is pleased to present  Vanishing Point, the first Sydney exhibition by Szelit Cheung, an artist based between Melbourne and Hong Kong, whose cross-disciplinary practice spans painting, drawing, photography and installation.

On the forthcoming edition of Artissima 2025 opening on 31 October to 2 November, Rossi & Rossi is pleased to present works by Szelit Cheung (b. 1988, Huidong) and Mit Jai Inn (b. 1960, Thailand), two artists recently selected for the 11th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT) in Brisbane. Alongside Cheung and Mit, works of the Turin-based Elisa Sighicelli are also on view.

Meditating on the realms of light and space, their mediums range from painting, pressed pigments and photography.

Art has often been understood as something to be viewed from a respectful distance. The history of exhibition spaces, from the grand halls of Renaissance palaces to the white rooms of the modern gallery, has frequently emphasised the ability of the viewer to take in an entire composition with a single glance. The distant gaze privileges proportion, symmetry, and the overall unity of form, shaping art into an image that can be grasped at once. Yet "MICROCOSM: Intimacies Beyond Distance" proposes another way of looking, one that begins not with distance but with closeness. It asks the viewer to step forward and to dwell in the nearness where hidden worlds slowly unfold, much like words whispered too softly to be heard from across the room.

“From Points to Lines — The Micro Art Biennale”, initiated and curated by Blunt Society over the past year, will be presented at our Shanghai space from June 6 to August 10, 2025. As one of the smallest biennales in the world, this exhibition will showcase over sixty works by 31 artists and collectives from various regions across the globe, all within a space of less than 150 square meters. More than half of the works are newly created specifically for this exhibition, with most pieces measuring under 20 centimeters.

For the 2025 edition of Art Basel Hong Kong, Rossi & Rossi is pleased to present a solo booth dedicated to the visionary Iranian American artist Siah Armajani (1939–2020), with a Kabinett featuring a new series of paintings by Szelit Cheung (b. 1988).

The next chapter in QAGOMA’s flagship exhibition series will feature 70 projects from across Australia, Asia and the Pacific, encompassing work by over 200 artists, makers and thinkers.

Across QAG and GOMA, ‘The 11th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art’ will reflect the region’s social and cultural diversity, drawing on a wealth of cultural expression and including artists not previously exhibited in Australia. APT11 artists consider knowledge in its many forms, following thematic threads such as care for natural and urban environments, intergenerational experiences of migration and labour, and nuanced approaches to storytelling, materials and technique. First Nations, minority and diaspora cultures are crucial to APT11, and the exhibition highlights the collective, performative and community-driven artmaking that thrives in the region.

Rossi & Rossi is excited to return to this edition of Abu Dhabi Art featuring works by Janine Antoni, Bertozzi & Casoni, Matthew Brandt, Faiza Butt, Szelit Cheung, Erbossyn Meldibekov & Shubigi Rao.

From 1–3 November, Rossi & Rossi will be presenting Maurizio Vetrugno and Szelit Cheung at Artissima. Red Hall Booth 7 is a mini survey of Italian artist Vetrugno’s career, with works spanning from 1987 to 2023. Alongside his embroidery, paintings and sculptures, a selection of works on canvas by Cheung will also be showcased. Ethereal and contemplative, Cheung’s paintings engage with architectural compositions and their interaction with light and shadow.

Schoeni Projects participates in the 27th edition of Asian Art In London. This annual even unites London’s Asian art dealers, major auction houses and societies in a series of selling exhibitions, auctions, receptions, and seminars.

Schoeni Projects Showcase: Heritage, Dialogue and Collaboration offers a unique opportunity to view the diverse and captivating works created by the most recent MLS artist-in-residence Sophie Hing Yee Cheung; as well as works from previous projects by artists such as Kensuke Koike, Olga Grotova, Szelit Cheung and Tanabe Chikuunsai IV & Sawako Kaijima.

The exhibition »Mado« shows paintings by Hong Kong-based artist Szelit Cheung. The Japanese word Mado means window, Szelit Cheung regards it as a source of light in his paintings and develops complex studies of space and light in his works.

[Abu Dhabi Art 2023] [Hong Kong Focus]

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.
