Fang Zhaoling

In Pursuit of Naïveté

Mar 16 – May 16, 2026
Opening: Tuesday, Mar 16, 5pm – 7pm

The gallery is honoured to present our second solo exhibition of Fang Zhaoling (1914–2006), one of the most important Chinese female artists of the twentieth century, as part of the gallery’s 45th anniversary celebration highlighting the “Then and Now”. Fang studied under Zhang Daqian (1899-1983), a towering master of modern ink art, and also apprenticed with Zhao Shao-ang (1905-1998), a leading representative of the second generation of the Lingnan School. Inspired by these predecessors, Fang developed a highly individual freehand language—approaching Abstract Expressionism in its vigour—across a wide range of subjects.
