The question is of course a bit silly, but it follows the visitor around Oscar Chan’s exhibition They always look from an imagined above, just like the synaesthesia of images and the smell of Chinese ink that settles over the exhibition rooms. Maybe the colours were there before and then evaporated, little by little, and maybe they’re now releasing that smell? Perhaps all those thorny, threatening, self-contained beings flying around absorbed all the colours, or they were devoured by the King of Ghosts from the work of the same name in the fourth room? I visited the exhibition at the Radvila Palace Museum of Art in January, one of the least colourful months in Lithuania. It could be described as naked or even skinless, like many of Chan’s drawn or painted beings – because why would these dream images of skeletons and personifications of quasi-mythological characters need clothes?

Exploring time, space and the subconscious, Whyte’s imagined environments evoke a sense of mystery and introspection, using loose brushstrokes and expansive compositions. Through a non-linear narrative, his recurring motifs and staged figures lend a theatrical quality, as if his canvases were scenes from an unfolding play. Though devoid of self-portraiture, Whyte’s paintings reflect his inner life, inviting viewers to interpret his surreal, dreamlike worlds as reflections of their own. Visit the exhibition page.

The Vancouver Art Gallery Receives Transformative Donation of Art from Hong Kong

Published by Artomity Magazine

The Vancouver Art Gallery is pleased to announce the landmark donation of Art Continuum Hong Kong (ACHK), a significant collection comprising 131 artworks by 78 artists. Representing the largest contribution of Hong Kong art in the Gallery’s history, this remarkable gift brings an unprecedented breadth of voices, practices and perspectives into the permanent collection, and marks a transformative expansion of the Gallery’s Asian art holdings. Assembled over three decades, the ACHK collection reflects the extraordinary breadth of Hong Kong’s modern and contemporary art history. Beginning with a passion for photography that chronicled the city’s shifting ideological and natural landscape, the collection grew to encompass painting, sculpture, printmaking, film, installation and lens-based media by artists who have shaped Hong Kong’s cultural identity from the 1950s to today.  To commemorate this landmark gift, the Vancouver Art Gallery will present a major exhibition of art from ACHK and the Gallery’s permanent collection in 2027. The exhibition coincides with the thirtieth anniversary of the transfer of Hong Kong sovereignty from the United Kingdom to China. As a marker of time, the Handover provides an opportunity to consider themes in the artwork and exhibition that reveal complex narratives surrounding Hong Kong emigration, cultural assimilation and national …

His paintings and drawings are mostly based on motifs from East Asian mythology or other esoteric traditions. This is his first solo exhibition in a museum, and it contains both new and existing works. Its title, They always look from an imagined above, also names a temporary ink mural (2025) on the vaulted ceiling of the a seventeenth-century Radvila Palace. Who are ‘they’? What is the ‘above’ and why is it ‘imagined’? Chan is not telling us. He has placed Cosmic egg (2021), a woollen rug, under the mural. The rug alludes to a creation myth, but again without explanation. In an adjacent space, the walls and ceilings receive the projected work Patrol (2025), where ‘they’ …
