Over the Influence is pleased to present Flagrant Foul, a major new exhibition of Los Angeles-based artist Devin Troy Strother in Hong Kong. Flagrant Foul will open on May 23 and runs until June 28, 2019. An opening reception for the artist will be held at the gallery from 6 to 8pm on May 23, 2019.

Curated by Sara Raza, this presentation marks the artist’s third solo exhibition with Rossi & Rossi as well as the ten-year anniversary of the gallery’s engagement with both Meldibekov and Raza.
