3812 Gallery is excited to present “Dreamscape”, our summer show featuring young, talented Hong Kong artists. This captivating group exhibition explores a dreamlike realm of floral and natural landscapes in abstract forms, inviting tranquil contemplation during the summer season. The exhibition features four young artists, each with a distinctive abstract visual language, weaving a liminal space between reality and mirage, consciousness and the subconscious, past, present, and future. “Dreamscape” will run from 12 June to 29 August, 2025 at the gallery’s Hong Kong location.

“Dreamscape”, as it is collectively crafted by a host of new blood, seeks to invite viewers on a visually dynamic, lively, and trippy sojourn—one grounded in each individual’s inner space and unfolding into the conscious sphere for introspection, retrospection, nostalgia, as well as a pure appreciation of nature’s simple beauty. Viewers may well find themselves pleasantly lost in contemplation within the kaleidoscopic dream oases affectionately rendered by the four emerging artists.

Thomas Ngan (b. 1995), with his duality of both realism and abstraction, delivers a misty, demure, subtly hypnotic dreamscape. Each piece, as its title suggests, is steeped in a unique yet coherent narrative arc. His envisioned dream world evokes echoes of Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, reimagined through a contemporary lens. The dreamscape orchestrated by Joanne Chan (b. 1992) emanates a fluid, kinetic rhythm, brought to life through her gestural spraying and oil painting techniques. Her dream world—reminiscent of an underwater teeming with vibrant blooms—invites viewers on an intoxicating journey that oscillates between vitality, renewal, and deep reflection on life. Kwan Yung Yee (b. 1991), with her clean lines and pastel-hued digital aesthetics, escorts viewers through a therapeutic sanctuary—one seemingly insulated by the divine—where solace and inner peace abound. Staying within the inner space between memory and reverie, the dream interface created by Curtis Chan (b. 1989) extends into a utopia where viewers may lacquer their past with fairytale ideals.

All rendered on the unifying canvas of “flora” and “landscape”, each artist’s nuanced “Dreamscape” reflects a distinct facet of their creative process. Thomas Ngan harnesses the brilliance of illumination, casting light on flora and natural scenes to create a bright-shadowed, eclectic vista that hints at life’s dualities of uncertainty and hope. Joanne Chan’s exuberant blooms, painted in vivid flourishes, transport audiences to the height of spring and summer, inviting them to reconnect with nature’s vitality. Subtle and ornate smatterings of flowers in Kwan Yung Yee’s works contribute to a garden-like sanctuary, soothing and introspective. Curtis Chan’s delicately rendered, minimalist flowers—set against a dreamlike soliloquy—offer a utopian and hopeful coda to the exhibition.

Folded between reality and illusion and shrouded in captivating mystery, the exhibition is curated to transport viewers into a shared, coherent, and multi-layered dreamscape. Through masterful technique and bold artistic license, these young artists collectively construct a dream world that transcends surface aesthetics, drawing visitors into profound reflection, both inward and outward.

We cordially invite you to the “Dreamscape” at 3812 Gallery Hong Kong — a journey into dialogue with the artists, the dream weavers, and with your own inner selves: past, present, and future.
