Film director Ho Fan, began his career as a photographer, capturing the light and the reality of Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s, a time when the harbour was much larger and the buildings much smaller. Today, now 83, Ho Fan lives in the United States. Last week he made a rare return visit to Hong Kong.
At Galerie Perrotin you can see works by two very different artists. Makato Aida’s work consists of both manga inspired sculpture and a video piece on globalism. And we go from the global to the personal with the first solo exhibition in Hong Kong of conceptual artist Sophie Calle. Her, more intimate, work is focused on examinations of people’s relationships with money, with the idea of suicide, with other people, and even with the sea.
Painters of light such as Rembrandt, Monet, Seurat, Joseph Wright of Derby, or JMW Turner often painted on a large scale, to draw us into their work.Contemporary artist Gill Rocca takes the opposite approach. Her landscapes, painted on a more miniature scale, demand that we get close to discover their stillness and mystery. On show at the Amelia Johnson Contemporary, her works are personal explorations of impressionistic landscapes and shifting mists.
