WILD: WOMEN ABSTRACTIONISTS ON NATURE
21 MARCH 2024 - 22 JUNE 2024
3F NORTH GALLERY
Curated by Kathy Huang, the Wild exhibition features some of the most exciting women abstract artists of our times who draw their inspiration from nature, encompassing environment, cosmos, and body. With their unique perspectives, the artists raise questions about the visual similarities and conceptual differences that exist between a group of artists whose practices span East, West, and the diasporic in-between.

It starts by tracing the trajectory of his art from its rebellious roots in Bristol, progressing to his iconic works in London, Los Angeles, and New York City. The (unauthorized) exhibition offers a comprehensive view of Banksy's impact on the street art movement, showcasing his thought-provoking pieces that address social and political issues such as inequality, injustice, capitalism, and commercialism.
