Lee Kuang-yu's inaugural Hong Kong exhibition
Often referred to as a "sculptural poet," Lee is celebrated for his signature "openwork" technique. His pieces, deeply informed by the Buddhist principles of "emptiness and form," evoke a transcendent aesthetic where subject and object dissolve.
While grounded in Eastern philosophy and landscape aesthetics, his work displays a strong affinity for Cubism and Surrealism.
This exhibition, titled "Sculpting the Void," marks his first Hong Kong showing and will run from March to December this year at Asia Society Hong Kong Center (formerly a British explosives magazine).
The star of the show? Her 2000s monumental sculpture Spider, making its Asian debut. Inspired by an ostrich egg, the piece symbolizes the weight of motherhood and Bourgeois’ own artistic journey.
