Past exhibition
Overview
Onfinitive Art Foundation, Hong Kong, and VETA by Fer Francés, Madrid, Spain, are pleased to announce their first collaborative exhibition; ‘Traces of Life: Global Figuration’ . Curated by Fer Francés the group exhibition presents contemporary figurative painting as refracted by 14 important and emerging painters who span several generations and continents, and whose collective output both questions and reconstructs the history of figuration in painting. The exhibition runs from Monday 25 March – Saturday 30 March 2024 at H Queen’s, 9/F, 80 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong.
Inspired by a shared commitment to expanding global contemporary art discourse Fer Francés, Founder and Director, VETA by Fer Francés, and Chloe Chiu, Founder of Onfinitive Art Foundation, have collaborated to co-present an exploration of the active cross cultural dialogue and shared inspirations within this diverse showcase of figurative painters. The common thread through the exhibition is the artist’s conscious desire to inscribe themself into an ongoing art history, bay contributing their heritage and experiences to wider dialogues. The visitor’s attention is drawn to aesthetics and identities that have traditionally been left on the margins, while the continued relevance of cultural heritage and historic counter cultures are highlighted through the unique contemporary reinterpretations presented in the practice of each artist.
