Ben Brown Fine Arts Hong Kong is pleased to present The Inevitable, an exhibition of new paintings by renowned Hong Kong-based artist Simon Birch. This is the second solo exhibition of Birch’s works to be held at the Hong Kong gallery and it will run concurrently with Art Basel Hong Kong.

Born in 1974 in Brighton, England, Birch has lived and worked in Hong Kong for over twenty years.  He has had solo exhibitions in Beijing, Los Angeles, Miami, and Singapore and has participated in group shows at the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo.  Birch has been awarded the prestigious Louis Vuitton Asian Art Prize and the Sovereign Asian Art Prize.  Birch has organized many large-scale multimedia installation projects in Hong Kong, most notably: HOPE & GLORY: A Conceptual Circus (2010) and Daydreaming With…The Hong Kong Edition (2012) and is currently working on a multimedia installation in New York.

Simon Birch is an oil painter who is recognized for his gestural and thickly impastoed portraits that teem with raw emotions. A figurative painter who has adopted a more abstract approach to his rendition of human figures, Simon Birch has refashioned and transposed magnified details from past paintings into fractured geometric fields of colours which now manifest as intensely palpable surges of vitality and energy.
