Pearl Lam Galleries is delighted to present Alchemist(s), a group exhibition featuring five artists, including Alan Kwan (b. 1990), Thukral and Tagra (b. 1976 & b. 1979), Peter Peri (b. 1971), Ni Zhiqi (b. 1957), and Sara Tse (b. 1974).

As an ancient branch of natural philosophy and proto-scientific tradition with over 2,500 years of history, alchemy has been perceived as a form of pseudoscience. It originated in Egypt and was practiced throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia before the emergence of modern science. Similar to contemporary artists, alchemists spent years in their laboratories, conducting experiments through trial and error on the appearance of materials in non-qualitative ways.

Gallery address: 6/F, Pedder Building, Central
