Leo Gallery proudly presents In Between, Hong Kong artist Kevin Fung’s first solo exhibition in Mainland China. Please join us for cocktails on Saturday, April 16th, 2011 from 5 to 7pm to celebrate the new show.
It is through the ordinary duties and labors of life that the fabric of society is woven. Buying groceries, toting luggage, climbing a tree, or even just standing still – these are the banal activities that Hong Kong-based artist Kevin Fung uses to ask the essential questions in life. So commonplace are these visual cues that one can accuse him of startling people when the universal truths his works embody become apparent.
In Summation of Choices, a lone figure stands on a branch that is long and crooked, the main branch splitting into smaller branches. Through this physical representation of convergence and divergence, the work eloquently illustrates how each choice we make can influence our paths.
Public and private appreciation for Fung’s work has continued to grow since his first public art installation in Hong Kong; his works are regularly exhibited at the Hong Kong Art Center and real estate development companies commission his work for their buildings.
