For local Hong Kong artist Ko Sin-tung’s second solo exhibition at Edouard Malingue Gallery, she is showing a series of new works including photographs, decorative moulds, drywall installations and sculptures.

Ko’s work investigates the process of human attunement—how we shift our bodies, emotions and mentality to survive in our given environment. Given her roots in the city, Ko is especially interested in the lives of Hongkongers.

Until August 9. Edouard Malingue Gallery, 6/F, 33 Des Voeux Road Central, +852 2810 0317; edouardmalingue.com

Shop Taka Ishii’s exhibition ±8 features eight ceramicists from Japan and the USA: Kentaro Kawabata, Kazuhito Kawai, Tony Marsh, Keita Matsunaga, Akio Niisato, William J. O’Brien, Sterling Ruby and Kouzo Takeuchi.

These eight talented sculptors tackle many ideas in their work, with themes of renewal, vulnerability, force, lonesomeness, tradition, violence and beauty running through the show. Much like the ceramics, the name of the exhibition itself, ±8, can be interpreted in multiple ways and is said to contain hidden meanings by featured potter Kentaro Kawabata, who also curated the show.

Until September 8. Shop Taka Ishii Gallery, Shop 4A & 4B, G/F Bo Fung Mansion, St. Francis Yard, Wan Chai, +852 3619 0011; takaishiigallery.com

Jang Young-Sook has been creating art since her career first took off as a print-maker in the 1970s. Since then, Jang’s work has passed through multiple phases—she launched her career with minimalist portraits, then moved on to making figurative drawings of plants, and now she’s focused on paintings that explore the force of water.

Her exhibition at Soluna Fine Art showcases nine works selected from Jang’s Wave series and Waterdrop series. Both pay close attention to the different shapes formed by water, whether it be the straight lines of pouring rain, the concentric circles formed by droplets or the rising and falling of waves crashing against the shore.

Until August 15. Soluna Fine Art, G/F, 52 Sai Street, Sheung Wan, +852 2955 5166; solunafineart.com

For his fourth solo exhibition with Rossi & Rossi, Tibetan diasporic artist Tenzing Rigdol is showcasing his latest drawings and paintings.

Rigdol’s practice is to juxtapose Buddhist images of sacred figures and deities with modern, dramatic diagonal lines and sharp angles that would never be shown in traditional Buddhist paintings. The resulting powerful images explore the tension between the old and the new.

Programmes will accompany the exhibition to further explore the cultural and political implications found in his works.

Until September 21. Rossi & Rossi, Unit C, 3/F, Yally Industrial Building, 6 Yip Fat Street, Wong Chuk Hang, +852 3575 9417; rossirossi.com

This summer, Asia Society is hosting an arts and culture programme titled Hidden Forests, which is focused on celebrating Hong Kong’s ecology and biodiversity. The idea for the project was sparked after Typhoon Mangkhut last year, which felled countless trees around the city and led Asia Society’s team to reflect on the greenery that we sometimes overlook in day-to-day life.
