Marking Ryman’s first solo presentation in Greater China, this exhibition will feature a range of works from the early 1960s through the 2000s, offering a concise survey of the materials, supports, painterly treatments, and ways of engaging with the wall that Ryman utilized over the course of his six-decade-long career. Ryman is widely celebrated for his tactile works using white paint in all its many permutations, which he executed using a range of painterly mediums on various supports including paper, canvas, linen, aluminum, vinyl, and newsprint. Emerging in the 1960s, Ryman eschewed self-contained representational and abstract imagery, instead giving precedence to the physical gesture of applying paint to a support. His works …

Marking the first ever presentation of the artist’s works in Asia, the exhibition follows a solo show at White Cube Paris in 2024. Spanning a 30-year period of works made between the 1960s and 1990s, the Hong Kong exhibition includes Emblema’s signature paintings made with raw pigments on jute canvas, as well as Untitled / Ricerca sul paesaggio (1972), a suspended sculpture comprising a metal net hung across the gallery’s walls. Born in 1929 in Terzigno, Naples, Emblema’s practice, with its singular focus on the qualities of light, space and transparency, diverged from that of his contemporaries in Italy’s post-war avant-garde. Inspired by the landscape of his upbringing – a volcanic red zone on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius – Emblema worked predominantly with natural materials, utilising soils, …

Hong Kong Sinfonietta 香港小交響樂團

Published by Artomity Magazine

Concert Hall, Hong Kong City Hall /Hong Kong / May 17, 2025 /Ernest Wan / Among the offerings of this year’s French May Arts Festival was a concert from the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, Trio Wanderer Plays Beethoven Triple Concerto. It was memorable, however, neither for the acclaimed chamber ensemble from France nor for the great German composer’s work but for the Czech guest conductor Tomáš Netopil’s rendition of the other, equally buoyant works on the programme, both written by his countrymen. Like the Beethoven work it preceded, Bohuslav Martinů’s seven-minute Overture H 345 (1953) is in bright C major and is sometimes redolent of a baroque concerto grosso. Under Netopil’s assured baton, the orchestra filled the auditorium with a warm glow of sound from the first bars, and the music, with its insistent succession of 16th notes and chains of syncopated string figures, chugged its way at a healthy clip to a firm conclusion. The Sinfonietta was joined in the Beethoven concerto (1804) by Trio Wanderer, whose members, says the official bio, are known for …

Douglas Bland 道格拉斯·布蘭德

Published by Artomity Magazine

Fionnuala McHugh In 1976, the Hong Kong Museum of Art held an exhibition called The World of Douglas Bland. Nigel Cameron, the South China Morning Post’s respected art critic, gave the show a stellar review. He praised Bland’s “astonishing energy”, “emotional intensity”, profoundly imaginative quality” and “great estuarine areas of lucid paint”. He believed that Bland had finally discovered what he wanted to do with paint in 1971 and he particularly referred to his “great” Reflections series, in which he was “trying to compose forms which contain ideas about places and things reflected in spaces”. Cameron, who could be annihilating in his opinions, described Bland as “the most accomplished western painter to work in the Orient since George Chinnery died in Macau”. By then, Bland himself was dead: he’d never regained consciousness after stomach surgery the previous year, at the age of 52. For almost three decades, he’d been striving to express his artistic response to China – its landscape, its culture, its mystic energies. He’d found inspiration in Chinese seals, calligraphy and, ultimately, oracle …
