Quirky Characters

When: Until April 6

Opera Gallery Hong Kong is showcasing masterpieces, created between 1970 and 2000, by self-taught French American artist Niki de Saint Phalle, who gained recognition through daring performances involving firearms and explosions that transformed objects into vibrant assemblage paintings. She later captivated the art world with her “Nanas” – whimsical sculptures made from unconventional materials that depict a range of characters from Animals to female figures, symbolising an idealised and lively vision of womanhood.

Korean artist Eddie Kang’s solo exhibition Like a Guiding Star at Lucie Chang Contemporary, invites us to witness his personal odyssey through vibrant and hopeful artworks.
