“Crossing the Void” by Laurent Martin Lo at 10 Chancery Lane
Bamboo is a material that Hong Kongers are very familiar with. From scaffolding to juice, this versatile plant is a stalwart in the Hong Kong lifestyle. French-born sculptor, Laurent Martin “Lo”, has unveiled a solo exhibition of 12 new bamboo works, including seven mobiles and five standing works. Establishing an intimate dialogue with bamboo, “Lo” experiments with its flexibility, resistance, density, lightness, mathematics and poetry.

A new exhibition by Szabotage features 12 large canvas pieces. Titled “Spraycation”, it’s a welcome break from reality, which has become increasingly important this year. Portraits of women and iconic Hong Kong symbols are layered to create a collage of narratives, while the vibrant colours and striking symbolism mean these pieces will look different to every eye.

“Cold Mountain Clay” by Edmund De Waal at Gagosian
A famed sculptor and writer who’s best known for his large-scale installations of porcelain vessels, Edmund De Waal is exhibiting his latest works at Gagosian. “Cold Mountain Clay” takes its title from the infamous cold mountain poems written by a Chinese monk, Hanshan, who (legend has it) resided in a cave during the Tang Dynasty (618-907CE). De Waal took inspiration from nature eroding the human experience over time.
