Hong Hao

PACE Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Reflection. This exhibition will go beyond the artist's print, collage and video installation art to present works on canvas. These works continue the artist's creative concept of scanning, which breaks the boundaries of medium through a process of collection, scanning and output followed by hand painting.


comunicato stampa

Pace presents Reflection, the first Hong Kong solo exhibition of Chinese contemporary artist Hong Hao. This solo exhibition features the artist’s latest works, including the Reciprocating and Reflection series. The exhibition will begin on July 3 and continue to August 6. A public opening reception will be held on July 3 from 6:00 to 8:00pm.

To follow the artist’s large-scale retrospective exhibition held at Pace Beijing in 2013, this exhibition will go beyond the artist’s print, collage and video installation art to present works on canvas. These works continue the artist’s creative concept of scanning, which breaks the boundaries of medium through a process of collection, scanning and output followed by hand painting, reaching a “dematerializing” process, a process of refinement that is completed by the intervention of the act of painting.

In his creations, Hong Hao has never consciously laid out image patterns, but the final results of his process present a powerful sense of inner order. This order reveals the artist’s self-restraint, while also making both the creative process and resulting artworks equally important. This constantly growing creation series now stretches out, unbroken, over more than a decade. Each day, the artist records the traces of his own life, consciously avoiding selection of the details, and regularly summarizing this information. In this process, so reliant on endurance and self-control, what the artist is refining is not technique, but his own mind. As it is embodied in the artworks, we see the visual content of the picture gradually shifting from specific material to more essential profiles or even simply lines. Through a decade-long process, we see this manifesting as the artist engaging in inner contemplation in works such as Development.

Like the scan collages that attracted so much attention in the art world, the canvas works featured in Hong Hao’s Hong Kong solo exhibition bring us thoughts about purer aestheticism. The artist dilutes and strips away the essences of things to indicate their rootù
