Hypeart and THE SHOPHOUSE revealed its first-ever Global Citizens - Asia group exhibition in Hong Kong
Hypeart, a contemporary art platform, and THE SHOPHOUSE, a lifestyle and exhibition space in a restored 1930s shophouse, have revealed its group exhibition Global Citizens – Asia, which spotlights and celebrates the works of 14 Asian emerging artists across the globe. Now open to the public, the exhibition showcases a collective forecast into the futurist implications of portraiture. Situated in a Grade III listed pre-war tong lau (low-rise tenement buildings combining commercial and residential spaces), the exhibition will open to the public from today to March 15th in Tai Hang, Hong Kong for those looking to elevate their personal journey in the ever-evolving world of art.
Global Citizens – Asia features the new, myriad forms of portraiture that reflect today’s societal attitudes. Prior to the invention of photography, portraiture is a unique record of one’s life and emotions through painted, sculpted or drawn portraits. Hypeart and THE SHOPHOUSE has co-curated a lineup of portraiture artworks from emerging Asian artists from Amsterdam, Beijing, Hangzhou, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, New York City, Seoul, Shanghai, Taipei, Tokyo and Xuzhou.
The full line up of artists at the exhibition include Auto Moai, Éi Kaneko, Gwen Hollingsworth, Lee Jaeheon, Natisa Jones, Nobody Here, Shih Yung-Chun, Wang Qingyuan, Xue Ruozhe, Yang Du, ¥ouada, Yutaka Watanabe, Zhang Haoyan and Zhou Xinyu.
