Becoming

3812 Gallery Hong Kong is excited to present “Becoming”, a solo exhibition by Chinese contemporary artist Shang Chengxiang, the artist’s first show in Hong Kong, from 15^th June to 31^th August. The exhibition will showcase a comprehensive selection of Shang’s oeuvre from the past decade. Shang specialises in organising pictorial elements in a surrealist style of wild fantasy worlds, creating distinct wonderlands between reality and imagination.

The exhibition title “Becoming”, infers uncertainty and infinite possibilities, which are important themes in Shang’s artistic practice. The artist aims to explore the relationship between personal growth and the influence of family factors, and in his paintings Shang asks questions of his audience about self and genes, consciousness and subconscious, contingency and necessity, and nature and self-awareness. These complex issues create a visual field of memory and imagination, and Shang constructs a fantasy that transcends reality and reflects his own worldview.

Address：26/F, Wyndham Place, 40 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong
