The German artist enjoys modifying historic oil paintings and blurring distinctions between high and low cultures to create humourous and absurd outcomes. For instance, in A Story, he places three found paintings together where viewers can reinterpret the originally irrelevant subjects as a fable. This third solo exhibition in the Hong Kong space displays sculpture, photography, installation, collage, the appropriated image and found object from across Feldmann’s nearly five-decade career.

New York-based artist Michael Kagan’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong presents the portraits of six F1 drivers: Prost, Senna, Lauda, Hamilton, Vettel and Schumacher. They are the top 10 in the world based on win statistics. Kagan toys with the concept of time and the idea of how newcomers to the race can still defeat record breakers of previous generations. In his paintings, Kagan references the drivers’ personal lives and inspires thoughts on how legends are remembered through images.

Hong Kong-based French multidisciplinary artist Ophelia Jacarini, who herself is a ballerina, has always been captivated by body movements. In her new solo show Manifest Ephemeral, she captures choreography and the faltering movement of a dance performance by a culmination of printed photography, sculptural and video installation. The outcome is the images of her floating dress and her dancing self at different moments weaved together as one lasting moment or sequence. Jacarini won the Hong Kong Human Rights Arts Prize 2018 and is the Inaugural Eaton HK Award Winner. “I don’t have the technology yet, but I’m hoping to create sculptures out of a moment in time for the next step. Imagine if moments can be presented as tangible sculptures,” Jacarini says of her photography artwork.

February 5 to March 18. 4/F Eaton HK, 380 Nathan Road, Jordan, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Find out more at tomorrowmaybe.hk

Hong Kong-based American Chinese multi-discipinlary artist Ernest Chang was diagnosed with red-green colour-blindness, but this doesn’t stop him from exploring art. In his exhibition Bling Dynasty, his new works are created with techniques from Western and Chinese art and handicraft traditions, including silkscreen prints on plexiglass, resin and bronze sculptures, embroidery as well as calligraphy. Known for confronting contemporary mass culture and consumerism, Chang combines pop art with Tang and Han Dynasty painting iconography. One can find visual references from animations and games such as South Park, Rick and Morty and Family Guy. The resulting visual juxtaposition offers a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the domination of Chinese consumerism on the global marketplace.

From February 20 to April 4, 2021. G/F, 82A Stone Nullah Lane, Wan Chai, Hong Kong. Find out more at thestallery.com
