Galerie Taménaga Presents Exclusive Pop-Up Exhibition in Celebration of Hong Kong Art Week

Galerie Taménaga, in conjunction with Hong Kong Art Week and Art Basel Hong Kong, proudly presents an exclusive pop-up exhibition in a historic building on Des Voeux Road Central from March 19 to March 30. Showcasing contemporary paintings by seven internationally acclaimed artists – Takehiko Sugawara, Kyosuke Tchinai, Lorenzo Fernandez, Chen Jiang-Hong, Tamihito Yoshikawa, Tom Christopher, and Kayoko Kimura – the exhibition creates a dynamic dialogue that bridges Eastern and Western sensibilities, tradition and innovation, spanning the spectrum from realism to abstraction. We aim to highlight a wide range of artistic styles, techniques, and materials,with each artist representing a distinct narrative shaped by their own cultural heritage and lived experience.

Takehiko Sugawara presents dynamic, expressive compositions that capture the raw vitality of nature. His work marries distinctive materiality with techniques that both honour and transcend traditional Nihonga (Japanese-style painting), offering his contemporary reinterpretation of nature’s life force.

Kyosuke Tchinai interweaves classical Japanese motifs with a mesmerising visual narrative. His paintings span the mystical, the imaginary, and the tangible realms, resulting in works that evoke poetic resonance and beauty.

Lorenzo Fernandez channels contemporary realism through symbolic iconography rendered with exceptional precision. His work deftly exposes the paradox between reality and illusion, inviting viewers to reexamine the nature of perception.

Chen Jiang-Hong masterfully fuses the expressive dynamism of traditional Chinese ink paintingwith modern abstraction, crafting works of profound philosophical depth that exude visceral energy whilst bridging Eastern and Western artistic traditions.

Tamihito Yoshikawa crafts abstract compositions that reflect his profound reverence for the natural world. His sensitive use of varying hues and brushstrokes crafts layered narratives imbued with deep emotional connection.

Tom Christopher imbues his canvases with vibrant urban energy, capturing the dynamic pulse of contemporary cityscapes through bold, expressive brushwork and colour palettes. He tries to capture both moments of stillness as well as the chaos of a frenetic, pulsing city.

Kayoko Kimura infuses her imaginative interpretations of floral motifs with a vital force that engages universal themes of time and the eternal cycle of life. Her paintings culminate in an entrancing allure, that blossoms like her vividly detailed flowers.

Set in the heart of Hong Kong, a city that hosts the highest echelons of artistic expression each year,Galerie Taménaga seeks to capture and celebrate this artistic innovation. We invite art enthusiasts and collectors alike to engage with these evocative works that we are proud to present.
