The Trivial Sublime at SC Gallery

SC Gallery is honoured to present the duo solo exhibition ”The Trivial Sublime” by Adrian Wong and Doris Wong curated by independent curator Zoie Yung in the coming March . Both artists will showcase a new series of works that reflect on the existential meaning of life and sacred moments stemming from care.
Adrian Wong, trained in psychology, combines his deadpan humour with his works, revealing subconscious desires that remain unspoken in our daily lives. His colour choices and stylistic references intentionally mix the mundane with the aesthetic of plastic stage props, presenting a dislocated version of the mundane. Doris‘s exhibited works are created after her “Pastel Nagomi Art” classes. This therapeutic mindfulness art emphasizes that no prior painting skills are necessary.
Participants apply dry pastels to various stencil plates using fingertips or cotton swabs, combining images and colours to express internal emotional fluctuations through a slow and focused “creation” process. They experience the power of meditation to calm the mind.

Cocktail opening: 3/6 4-7:30 pm

The West is the Direction for Academic Achievements," ideal for displaying Wen Chang Pagodas and couplets.

This December, SC Gallery is delighted to present “Melancholy” featuring three artists, Oscar Chan Yik Long, Joshua Hon and Rico Lau, each of them represents part of the shared framework of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

The artists came together as a perfect balance while exploring the repression and melancholy emerging from the changing world.

Through their distinct yet interwoven perspectives, these artists invite viewers to confront the melancholic beauty of our world in flux. Each artist brings a unique perspective to the shared theme, allowing viewers to confront the shifting dynamics of repression, melancholy, and struggle in an ever-evolving world, and to reflect on the interconnected fate of nature, society, and the self.

SC Gallery is delighted to present Wong Shun Yu “Bulliform Maternity”, an exhibition showcasing 19 artworks from the artist.

In Wong’s previous exhibition, he explore Hong Kong through a macro historical lens, where his personal experiences are remain understated. This time, inspired by “Dream of the Red Mansion”, Wong reflects on how migration in intertwining personal fate with with larger environmental forces. He shifted to on a more intimate, personal narrative and inspect the changing relationships between people and places in the process of family migration from his own experience. For him, the notion of “place” becomes less a physical location and more of an abstract concept, a spiritual landscape. His family's migration story is intrinsically linked to women—from his grandmother to his mother, aside from himself.

In Chapter 59 of Dream of the Red Mansion, the metaphor of “pearls and fish eyes” is used to describe young girls and their mothers. Pearls are often associated with women in both Eastern and Western mythology, appears as a symbol of purity, sacredness, and beauty. Wong recalls his grandmother speaking of the memories of arriving in Hong Kong from Shanghai and how she see herself as a clam carrying few smaller clams, as well as describing his mother’s relationship with Hong Kong with a line from the Cantonese opera, “A Lin sister dropped from the sky.”

Jacky Tao: Have A Nice Day at SC Gallery

The upcoming exhibition “Have A Nice Day” at SC Gallery will showcase 14 brand-new Gongbi paintings by Jacky Tao. After a year of reflexivity and preparation, Tao, filled with ambition and passion, attempts to develop a pictorial narrative that intertwines reality and fantasy through the compositions in his paintings, while establishing a connection with the current social phenomena and context.

The artist uses advertising display screens as a medium to weave together the daily lives of Hong Kong people and iconic scenes from pop culture. Through his solid line drawing skills, Tao connects a wide range of themes, including classic literature and films, horse racing stories, pop culture and public spaces. They span across from personal to societal level, and from micro view to macro view. In those paintings, he creates a perspective that resembles reality, but feels different from what we see in our everyday lives, and uses calligraphy brush to present his unique “worldview” of his keen observations of the local community in Hong Kong.

In this summer, SC Gallery presents a joint exhibition “ Anomalous Gloaming” featuring three artists Doris Chui, Hilarie Hon, and Stanley Shum. The three artists depict the familiar landscapes of their homeland using vibrant colours with strong contrasts. Whether it’s the iconic Lion Rock tunnel or the common storefronts on the streets, these familiar scenes take on a sense of unfamiliarity, a distance of being both in and out of this place, under the strange twilight.

Each of the three artists injects their profound emotions into the pigments from both personal and third-person perspectives, expressing their vulnerabilities, hopes, and tranquillity. Through this joint exhibition, viewers can catch a glimpse of the artists’ creative journeys and experience their diligent exploration in search of self.

SC Gallery is embracing the dawn of the new year with our upcoming show, Chui Pui Chee’s Solo Exhibition, “Master Chui’s Study”.

In ancient China, decorating the house with carefully selected flowers and using flowers as offerings were forms of entertainment for the literati. On the first day of the Lunar New year, the literati would fill their tables with flowers and fruits so that they can start the new year with a clean slate, and welcome its arrival. This time, in Chui Pui-Chee’s solo exhibition, he takes on the theme of New Year Qinggong, and turns the gallery space into his personal study. In continuing the literati culture with a personal touch, Chui reinterprets the traditional Qinggong paintings and presents a series entirely composed of new works.

Wong Shun Yu: Stamen Or Pistil, Are Semi-Permanent at SC Gallery

  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

In the title of this exhibition, Wong used the words “stamen” and “pistil” in lieu of the commonly seen “flower”, deliberately chosen to serve as a metaphor for Hong Kong. “Stamen” and “pistil” refer to the male and female reproductive part of a flower respectively, highlighting the complexity of its nature. To Wong, the word “semi-permanent” is an embellished version of “temporary”, representing its intrinsic vulnerability and fragility. Thus, Wong utilises its characteristic as his personal reflection on the constitutional principle of “One Country, Two Systems”.

Wong’s last solo exhibition, “Whispers From the South”, sheds light on the communal memories and stories of ShenZhen drifters. This time however, Wong shifts his focus back to “Hong Kong”, which to him, is deemed as his eternal proposition. By actively avoiding falling into sentimentalism and its practices in depicting this issue, Wong employs the study of plant ecology and its changes to represent, or even uncover Hong Kong’s hidden histories. In comparison to consolidated and long-established stereotypes of Hong Kong, Wong goes through the process of disentangling local histories and way of life in the past, to investigate the origin and construction of the “Hong Kong identity”.  From the surface, Wong’s works depict plant ecology and its evolution. Meanwhile, underneath are wider implications of the development of Hong Kong from colonial times to post-colonial period, and how Hong Kong history is being constructed.

Duo exhibition: Before Arrival at SC Gallery

  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Does 2023 has any special meaning to you?

Most of the time, our lives are like plain water, it is colorless and tasteless, yet we cannot do without it. Days pass by in this mundane and repetitive manner, day after day, year after year.

In this duo exhibition, the two artists Cheng Ting Ting and Lau Yin Yeung have revealed their current status: a state of waiting for something to happen in an unknown future. The state of waiting can be calm or filled with loneliness and solitude. This state can be anxious or agonizing. Nevertheless waiting can also be sort of beauty that fills us with tenderness and longing. The act of waiting also gives us a wonderful anticipation of the future.

A year ago, Cheng finished her study in Europe and returned to Hong Kong. She feels that both she and Hong Kong, where she resides, are in a state of waiting. After the massive social movements a few years ago, Hong Kong has now settled down and people are continuing with their daily lives as if nothing has happened. But what are these phenomena? Are they settling or fermenting?

Everyone’s life is a process of waiting, during which we experience ups and downs, happiness and hardships. Perhaps what we are waiting for will quietly arrive on a morning when we wake up from a dream.

Before arrival, let us all keep waiting with a calm and fearless heart.

SC Gallery is proud to bring you an exciting duo exhibition with a strong sense of local Hong Kong , called “Market-go-around”. Artists Jacky Tao and Rosanna Li will take you on a journey to explore the local flavours of Hong Kong’s wet markets and public housing estates!

Jacky grew up in Wah Fu Estate, which was built in the 1960s, that not only nurtured his growth but also served as inspiration for his art. The scenes of old housing estates, wet markets, market hawkers, street signs, bus stops, Wah Fu Estate playgrounds, and residents like to dry their cotton quilts under the sun , all have a strong local Hong Kong characteristic. Wah Fu Estate will soon be demolished and redeveloped; memories of the past have become even more precious. Jacky has the inspiration to record his feelings about his community and these records of grassroots life in Hong Kong, which will soon disappeared. In this exhibition. Lets see how many of these old communities you can recognize in this duo exhibition!

Jay Lau and Gumb Cheng: Gone with the Wind at SC Gallery

Jay Lau and Gumb Cheng: Gone with the Wind at SC Gallery

Gum and Jay Lau belong to two generations of Hong Kong people: one was born and raised in Hong Kong, and the other was born in mainland China in 1997. When Jay was at the age of five, he moved to Hong Kong following his father, who fled from Shenzhen and settled in Hong Kong before the abolition of the touch base policy in late 70’s. The touch base policy was the immigration policy of the British HK government started in 1974, it allowed illegal immigrants from China to get a new life in HK if they could reach the Boundary Street in Kowloon. The two artists spent their growth in Hong Kong.

There is a saying that Hong Kong is “a borrowed place on borrowed time”. Because of the instability of politics in the mainland, the number of immigrants from China to Hong Kong increased drastically, and the population coming from the mainland to Hong Kong has gradually become the mainstream of Hong Kong residents. Under the political tranquillity and the stability of the rule of law, people living here can show their talents under equal opportunities, thus creating the Hong Kong economic miracle. The political movement and the poverty of socialism from mainland have had no real impact on Hong Kong people. Later, people here gradually changed from their original mentality as a passer-by and regarded Hong Kong as a springboard, a place to jump to foreign countries, to the mentality of Hong Kong has become their home.

Jeremy Fung: Fibrillation at SC Gallery

“Sketching and speedwriting are all about immediacy. Our feelings will be different and irregular in every moment, and the act of sketching is to grasp the irregular rhythm and unpredictable emotions at that moment.”  Jeremy Fung said. 

Jeremy begins the habit of speedwriting and taking notes and recording intriguing things in sketches since his secondary school period. Most of Jeremy’s subsequent works are based on his notes, especially the random doodles on them. Words or those unconscious pencil traces and sketches are the unique and secret codes of the artist, he transfers them onto the wooden board, and then reinterpreted them on the woodcut with the intuition of the immediate perception forthwith.

Compared to painting on canvas, Jeremy is much fascinated by wood carving, especially the sharp edges shown by knives when carving on the surface of wood boards, and the natural layering of wooden clothes. The delicate picture of the thick and thin lines intertwined on the wood appeals to Jeremy a lot. The artist carved/painted his emotions and memories on the wooden board in an abstract form, and this has become his unique personal emotional diary.

Doris Chui x Rico Lau x Ken Chan

Ken Chan graduated from the Hong Kong Art School in 2022. His works reflects Chan’s subconscious awareness and reality at the same time. He describes his works as “feeling real and abstract; disturbed and confused.”
The artist himself has always been attracted by broken, damaged, withered and old subjects, the unique broken/incomplete beauty reflects a kind of emotional fragility, and records the traces of existence.

Lau Cheng-hei graduated from the arts department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2021. Lau’s main creative medium covers sketching, quick-sketching and painting. His works concerns drawing-lines’ impact on the structure of the appearance of the human-body and the creative process of images. Lau tells the truth to his audience through paintings that are obscure, twisted, coupled with restlessness and disturbance. His current list of creation originates from his observation of the human posture and the transformed reappearance of the postures.

Dony Cheng and Li Ning: Meet You There at SC Gallery

  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

This time SCG brings together two artists, Dony Cheng and Li Ning, for a joint exhibition.
Cheng and Li are good friends.


Dony Cheng is well-versed in observing all types of shapes and lights in the city structure. She falls into deep thoughts about the neighborhood, and the relationships between “light” and “space”. She loves to find inspirations in her daily life. Whenever she walks the streets and alleys she would photograph whatever that touches her heart. She deliberately cleans her surroundings and allows her spectators to enter a certain place or space when they enter her works. They will see shiny objects, one after another. The objects might be the lights of the city or perhaps lights from the nature. It is an unknown space.
Dony describes her creation as “deduction”. She loves to cut off extra scenes from what she sees. What she sees is a perhaps bland-new but unreal picture/space that allows time and peace to stop.

Opposite to Dony, Li Ning’s works inherits strong sense of story-telling. His creations and compositions are full of metaphors and symbols. His style of works carries his personal life and elements of mythologies and legends. The artist’s works, since his graduation exhibition in 2019, depends on this invented world of his. The works of his exhibition emphasizes on the narratives among his creations. The creatures and roles in this exhibition express themselves in solid forms.


Li Ning and Dony Cheng build their space with the style of plus and minus. They believe that these spaces are closely linked. “Meet you there” allows these two artists to date their audiences and meet one another in their own interchangeable spaces.

Ann Ng and Lewis Lau: Once Upon a Time at SC Gallery

SC Gallery is happy to have Ann Ng and Lewis Lau‘s duo exhibition on Nov 7-Dec 10, titled “ 好耐好耐以前…..”

“Once upon a time“ that’s how most stories began when we listened to tales while we were kids, as if what happened in the past was the most beautiful. What happens today doesn’t appear to be as beautiful as those happening in the past.
Long Long time ago: indeed how long ago? When we were kids, our moms always said: “Yes, it was long long time ago.” When we grow up, we then understand that most things can change within a minute. “Long Long time ago” might mean “split-seconds” ago. What has been beautiful has all faded.
Changes are quick and it’s easy to lose: that’s our generation’s common experience.
Artists Ann Ng and Lewis Lau, one lives in Hong Kong and the other has self-exiled to some place far far away. Both, invariably, are intoxicated in their memories of the good old days. When things near them are drifting away like sands in an hourglass and slowly disappearing, they have tried hard to stop them. However, their efforts are in vain and they fail to restore what has been lost.

Stanley Shum: Love is all you need at SC Gallery

SC Gallery is proud to present Stanley Shu ‘s solo exhibition “Love is all you need!” from 26/9-29/10.
Stanley is one of Hong Kong’s newly-bred visual artists. He is adept in applying bright-coloured bands, hues, shadows and construction to create an overall atmosphere. Through a virtual scene and natural overlapping of sights of mountains and plains, Mr Shum leads spectators into a resplendent and yet vast new world.
From his family background, Stanley Shum looks at the changes in social development. He presents a combined visual story of himself and his social groups. He uses his father’s swimming from China to Hong Kong, his childhood memories and his family’s emigration as his creation background and the breadth of this exhibition. He hopes that, in this confusing and scary social situation, people will reshape their genuine identities, reflect on their personal and social relationships, and explore a new picture of life in the new world.
The light and yet extremely heavy exhibition slogan “Love is all you need” is the core of this exhibition. It is a new understanding and introspection of “love”, which is simple and yet complex. It touches on the struggle of where affection should heed in the new era.
”Love is all you need” are lyrics of a single of the Beatles of the U.K. <All You Need Is Love>. The song exhibits how people treat one another with optimism, positivism and simplicity in the new hippies’ era. It emphasizes the human strength of mutual-care and supporting one another unconditionally.
The exhibition will disambiguate this song’s lyrics and introduce another perspective. It will argue that love is necessary in a restrained society and query whether the affection is genuine and whether there is room for choosing love and affection.

The exhibition opens next Monday to Wed for private preview , opening cocktail on Oct 1, Saturday

SC Gallery is happy to announce Sharon Cheung’ s Solo Exhibition “Our Time” on Aug 15. It is a series of 51 portraits.
Humans are like paintings, especially portraits that reflect people’s faces. The sketches or engravings of people’s faces have occupied an important place in art history.
Human faces are vital parts and positions in sending and receiving messages. The portraits’ expressions can provide us hints about the art works. These include feelings and thoughts that artists are trying to convey, human relations and even the ambience in which the artists have lived.
Sharon started her career as a journalist. She is a veteran media person. She has sharp insights about the Hong Kong society. This list of 51 portraits of hers was completed between 2020 and 2022. During this period Hong Kong and other parts of the world were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Human lives are under severe threats. Moreover, the political atmosphere worldwide has become more complex and tense, thanks to the pandemic. Hong Kong can’t stay aloof or immune from it.
Sharon takes her close friends as objects in her portrait-painting. They come from different walks of life in Hong Kong. She believes that only concretization can express the impulsiveness of one’s feelings. Through the distortion of the human faces the artist aims at presenting the true picture of moods and emotions. Therefore, these 51 portraits either distort the faces or demolish their original structures. Sharon believes that through the distorted portraits people’s emotions, anxieties, uneasiness and fears are revealed in a changing society.

Ivy Ma x Tsang Chui Mei: When will I see you again? at SC Gallery

Ivy Ma and Mei are well-known names in Hong Kong’s art circle. Ma and Tsang are colleagues in the Hong Kong Art School as well as good friends. They know each other for decades. Last year, Ivy left Hong Kong with her family. Like many other Hong Kong people, they left a place where they grew up and looked for new directions in a foreign land. Ivy migrates from city to city. Every day with her daughter she learns, takes pictures, does artwork, paints, reads and practises calligraphy. She begins a new life chapter.
Mei chose to stay in Hong Kong although many of her family members and friends have emigrated. She said now whenever she exchanges pleasantries with her friends invariably these will come up: “when will you leave?” “Have you resigned?” or simply throw down a sentence: “Just shout if you want to emigrate.”
This joint-exhibition is “showing love with paintings” from these two artists (and good friends).
Ivy Ma have painted, taken photographs and practises decorating art for many years. This is the first time she uses black and white photographs of birds in various countries where she has lived in response to Mei’s painting of four seasons. It is craved as well as blessings to a good friend.
These past two years in Hong Kong are years of departure and separation. A lyric “goodbye now; I am leaving” echoes loudly in different parts of the city. When farewells become a new normal, have you become numbed? Or, you ask yourself quietly: “When shall we meet again?”

The last two years have been a time to remember. Not perhaps for the best reasons we might want, but notable anyway as an indicator of stress on an international level.
The world has experienced a new wave of social and political instability in 2022. Wars, pandemic, sanctions, natural disasters have stirred up social and economic turmoil.
But, we are still seeing and hearing lessons in courage beyond almost anything we can comprehend in modern times. Therefore, SC Gallery presents “The Sunshine is still there”, inviting six local young and emerging artists to express their feelings and interpretations of theme.

Artists: Chan Wai Lap, Frank Tang, Ho Sin Tung, Lau Yin Yeung, Tobe Kan, Yau Kwok Keung

Curator: Chan Sai Lok

Opening ceremony: May 20, 16:00-19:00pm

Gallery address: Unit 2, 19/F, Sungib Industrial Centre, 53 Wong Chik Hang Road

Jeremy Fung x Tang Kwong San: Abnormal State at SC Gallery

It is Jeremy Fung and Tang Kwong San’s observation and feeling over the change of Hong Kong in the past two years. “Everything seems to be normal and peaceful, but in fact, it is a strong tension behind.”
The exhibition is to express the unsettled nature of the individual and the unsettled nature of what we’re living in.

Jeremy Fung believes the dialogue between personal and social knowledge happens through the different coequal forms of grasping and transformation. He is observant and critical; his inspiration of arts always comes from daily lives. Fung's creation is a self-examination as well as a way to understand himself. He believes his direction of life could be guided by self-confrontation. As Heidegger said. “There is no absolute distance between our lives and us. We are our life, and the lucidity of our life is the nature of it.”
