Leung Lok Hei Giraffe: Utopia in Solitude at Parallel Space

  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Three years ago, several friends shared their ’immigration‘ stories, mentioning the similarities between their new homes and Hong Kong. One of the most memorable comments was, ’I’m going to a northern city in England that resembles Ma On Shan; it should be easy to adapt.‘

I guess everyone actually wants to go to a place that feels like Hong Kong but is not Hong Kong, creating a ’familiar yet foreign‘ landscape. Starting with a complete map of Hong Kong, it is reassembled into an imagined utopia.

This is an invitation; everyone who sees this is invited to visit the utopia.

Rolland Cheung: Settle : Wind, Tenderness, and Speed at Parallel Space

Rolland Cheung: Settle : Wind, Tenderness, and Speed at Parallel Space

Parallel Space is happy to announce the new exhibition “Settle : wind, tenderness, and speed” by Hong Kong Artist Rolland Cheung.

Rolland Cheung has devoted years to the craft of resin art, and is one of the few young artists in Hong Kong who have chosen this medium as his main creative outlet. Parallel Space is delighted to present Cheung’s solo exhibition, titled "settle: wind, tender & speed".

The exhibition is the first comprehensive showcase of Cheung's creative output - featuring works in a myriad of sizes and video vignettes - meticulously put together to create an immersive experience. The walkthrough is not solely a visual feast, and not simply a multi-sensory experience guided by visual stimuli. Instead, this series of abstract works is an interplay between space, time, and the viewers' perception.

By applying his distinctive technique and aesthetic of captivating boldness, it sheds light on the inspiration of wind, tenderness, and speed in his creative process. Through the natural flow of resin, the works portray a moment in time, that inspires the viewers to pause, feel and re-contemplate the essence of time. Or simply be entranced by the dreamy hues in Cheung's pieces, and settle into the luminosity of the movement captured.

The exhibition encourages visitors to unfold this moment and dissolve into time itself. Or rather, to let go of the concept of time entirely, using art to open up the door to a new realm of nothingness.
As the world returns to normalcy after the pandemic and picks up its pace this exhibition will take you on a journey of mindfulness, we invite everyone to come and embark on this voyage for themselves.

HOTPINK at Parallel Space with Wangsim

to Apr 1

HOTPINK at Parallel Space with Wangsim

Parallel Space is pleased to present HOTPINK, a duo exhibition showcasing over twenty recent works by two female artists, Judy Gee and Ling-Li Tseng. Through a presentation of painting, sculpture and installation, Gee and Tseng collectively explore the fragile human condition and the uncontrollable nature of its evolution. 

An award-winning architectural designer based in Taiwan; Ling-Li Tseng started creating the wall-mounted sculpture series Seasons of Lupus in 2016. Composed of colorful self-expanding foam and layers of hand-dyed Spandex nest regulating the foam’s movement, the body of work offers subtle gradations of colors and reflectivity. Neatly arranged in oval and rectangular shapes, the pieces also remind the viewer of tribal ritual masks or miniature landscapes, sequentially leaving us in an awed fascination with the world of wonder, myth, and irregular energies. Tseng’s creations, whose material is drawn from a multitude of architectural traditions, have an explicit relationship to the body, exploring how the perceptual individual experiences are shaped by societal, economic, and geographical structures that are particular to a certain time. However, Tseng’s virtuosic approach is more than an extension of her professional achievement. It is a complete submission into her internal experience and an ordered expression of objects and space.

With an intentionally naïve quality, Temptation (2018 - ) and Addiction (2022 - ) series by Taiwanese-American artist Judy Gee stand one meter tall and one meter wide each—audaciously scaled for her voluptuous subject matter in sweet everydayness. Inspired by her time in Shanghai, Judy began depicting simple everyday indulgences but quickly dived into blunt seduction—power, wealth, and violence. With meticulous brushwork and vivid color palette, the artist presents hyper-realistic sweet treats with the magnificent glaze and darker sprinkles—sometimes your normal confetti, sometimes golden bullets. Confronted by the giant donuts perhaps looked at first luminous and plain as day, the viewer, on a closer investigation, awakens to the sheer density brought out by the pictures, of the myopic obsessions and the long-runningaddictions Gee—while making sense of her own desires and bicultural identity—conducts a sharp interrogation on addictive behaviors and investigates the mastery of willpower.

HOTPINK’s month-long program will feature private and public art tours, and one print and object signing event led by the artists. The exhibition is in collaboration with WANGSIM.

Yeung & Laura Zhang: Wild Things at Parallel Space

Parallel Space is proud to present duo exhibition Wild Things from Feb 3 – Feb 17 2022.

Two Hong Kong artists, Kanny Yeung and Laura Zhang, pair recent abstract oil paintings to explore the relationship between human and nature in all its infinite variability. The artists entwine a raw yet refined body of work, supporting one another through reverberating themes and processes while having distinctly unique styles. Growing up in the space between “foreign” and “local”, Yeung and Zhang live the complex non-binaries of; East and West; self and other; people and place; which intuitively feeds into their painting practice.

Life and death are inevitable, both appear instantaneously.
How does the tangible environment overlap with the intangible world?

Chino Ng: Story of Stone at Parallel Space

  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Art; a unique process where you can immerse yourself being self-healing, it helps artists get through chaotic life. Chino Ng, the artist, fuses his fantasies with the photorealist technique encompassed in 1600 gravels and stones, unfolding his gentle resistance during the past years. The artist's first solo exhibition "Until u r safe" will be held at Parallel Space at Sham Shui Po in November.

The exhibition showcases Chino's latest painting works from 2015, including the works created during political crises and the pandemic. The artist tried to repress the emotion from disturbing and irritating new normal by a tedious long painting process. The artist once expressed his subject stone "The stones are small, unremarkable but seductive by their uniqueness. It relates to aesthetics, history, national territory and the universe. The physical properties of stones are so captivated. I pursue the painting on paper just as humble as stones, revealing the characters of each unnamed stone in peaceful harmony."

Selected works of Giraffe Leung Lok Hei at Parallel Space

Selected works of Giraffe Leung Lok Hei at Parallel Space

n the year, post-90s local artist Giraffe Leung Lok Hei has been observing and documenting the uncertainties and anomalies arising from the development of the protest movement to present.
A series of street documentary work named “Paper over the cracks “was published on the internet, which led to a series of media coverage and attention as they collectively documented "vanished protest propaganda and graffiti". Furthermore, the "chilling effect" in Hong Kong society after the post-conflict period and the strong implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong has also stimulated Leung to think and create.

In this exhibition, in Parallel Space, we would like to take a dive into Leung's creative process over the past year, to observe and reflect on the absurdity of the Hong Kong society after the fierce anti-government protest, and whether it can become the new normal in Hong Kong. And do we accept and participate in it?

Dear Dong — Group Exhibition at Parallel Space

Dear Dong — Group Exhibition at Parallel Space

Wishing to see snow is the desire of many locals, however, from the bottom of our heart, we are so used to the warm winter. The uniqueness of our winter is more than temperature and numbers, it is more about our living experience there in this season, which is a solid and profound sense of place.

Until 2016, red flowers and green leaves of local Kapoks bloom simultaneously, the abnormal behaviour reminds us of the climate imbalances. At that time, the climate of four seasons had changed silently. Winter days are getting less and less, it feels like an good old friend is about to leave us. The exhibition gathers our perceptions, memories, descriptions and imaginations of her, to generate the dialogue with paintings, installations and sculptures. Maybe, the winter days will end in history, but we hope to convey our experience to the next generation, continuing her in another way.
