2024 ART021 HONG KONG: Booth 1F-09｜Victoria Park

Asia Art Center will feature an exciting array of exhibitions at the fair. Among the highlights is Li Chen’s 2013 sculpture, Ephemeral Beauty, standing 198 cm tall, showcased in the SCULPTURE section at Victoria Park, the largest park on Hong Kong Island. Set against this expansive backdrop, the piece evokes the vibrant life of cherry blossoms and the dazzling effect of fireworks. Li Chen captures the delicate and intense bloom of flowers, with a petal gently resting on the figure’s nose, creating a blend of enjoyment and subtle regret. The display of the SCULPTURE section will be on view from August 28th through September 8th.

Other notable works in the SCULPTURE section include those from MENNOUR Gallery featuring French artist Camille Henrot; Mao Space brings four sculptures of varied forms by American artist Joy Brown, as well as works by Chinese artists Lu Pingyuan and Shang Liang; Pace Gallery will exhibit Robert Indiana’s iconic “LOVE” letter sculpture; additionally, a public artwork titled Cheese, integrating the history of the Fringe Club, created by Korean artist Gwon Osang, will be displayed on the rooftop of the Fringe Club.

Asia Art Center will also highlight the work of three key Taiwanese sculptors who have made a massive impact on Taiwan’s contemporary art scene over the past half century. This includes Yuyu Yang’s sculpture from 1970, Ju Ming’s pieces from 1995 and 1996, and Li Chen’s works from 2002 to 2015, all featured in the GALLERIES section at the Philips Asia headquarters in the WKCDA Tower, booth 1F-09. These bronze/copper sculptures, with their unique forms and lines, showcase diverse cultural influences and artists’ personal experiences. Additionally, Dong Shaw-hwei’s paintings of black and white tables adorned with floral still lifes reflect her inner world and a sense of tranquility with her surroundings.
