After a brief period in London, he moved to Hong Kong where the local art scene and energy of the city injected new vitality into his artworks.

This is Gianluca Crudele’s second solo exhibition in Hong Kong, featuring a series of new canvas works inspired by the fictional character Zhi from the renowned Taoist text Zhuangzi.
