Kwai Fung Hin is pleased to announce our upcoming exhibition Signifiants de l'informel 2020 at our new space in Chai Wan, from October 16 to December 15.

Signifiants de l’informel 2020 features the key representatives of Art Informel during post-war Paris, namely Serge Poliakoff (1900-1969), Nicolas de Staël (1914-1955), Hans Hartung (1904-1989), Maria Helena Vieira da Silva (1908-1992) , Zao Wou-Ki (1920-2013), Pierre Soulages (b.1919), Georges Mathieu (1921-2012), Karel Appel (1921-2006) and Lalan (1921-1995).

 Art Informel refers to an art movement from the 1940–1950s, that includes all the abstract and gestural practices developed in France and in Europe parallel to American Abstract Expressionism. In the aftermath of World War II, artists attempted to break from the traditionalism of École de Paris and the cold formalism of geometric abstraction. They sought a visual language that emphasized calligraphic brushwork and the tactile quality of the paint, giving shape to their subconscious state and sensibilities.

 Gallery address: 11/F, Asia One Tower, 8 Fung Yip Street, Chai Wan
