Exhibitions

This week, contemporary Chinese painter, Kang Haoxian will unveil his solo exhibition, In Motion at WOAW Gallery in Hong Kong.

Drawing inspiration from mythology and his personal travels, Kang is known for his large canvas paintings that blend pop culture elements with magical realism. Through In Motion, the artist reflects on human emotions and desires as well as capturing intimate moments in the form of car tires.

From Kang’s standpoint, car tires have always been an integral part of modern society that served as a physical driving force for humans every day. While several pieces boast a two-dimensional interpretation of tires of luxury cars, the artist also explores urban scenarios that emerge from vehicles in artworks such as “Brave Action,” “Live Free or Die,” and “I enjoy my own tranquility.” According to WOAW Gallery, “the world is like a huge garage, filled not only with ‘cars’ but also a myriad of complex human emotions” in the artist’s eyes.

Kang Haoxian’s In Motion will be open this weekend on August 31 at WOAW Gallery’s Hong Kong branch. Preview some of the artwork above, the exhibition will remain on view until October 14.
