WOAW Gallery is pleased to present Chinese artist Kang Haoxian’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, In Montion, which will be held at the gallery’s Wan Chai space from August 31 to October 14, 2024. Kang Haoxian is known for his grand and atmospheric paintings. His past works are known for combining magical realism elements with pop culture, but in In Montion he will change his style and bring a new artistic creation. Art attempts to start from the subtle moments in life and more specific objects, so in this series of artworks, the brushstrokes are transferred to "wheels". 
People drive vehicles and make tires move. For Kang Haoxian, "wheels" have always been an indispensable part of society since their appearance. And based on the increasingly progressive needs of development, humans began to produce and use tires in large quantities. He noticed that tires are a special tool, but human love makes them more diverse. The craftsmanship and performance are a reflection of the driver's ultimate pursuit, and human emotional involvement is reflected here like a mirror. On the other hand, in this series of works, he emphasizes a unique perception of the friction between tires, the environment and the road, and transforms it into a philosophical and poetic metaphor - tires take people far away, and also take people to an unexpected and farther future. 
The artist explores the emotions wandering in private spaces through the subtle portrayal of the interaction between people and cars. The woman reflected by the reflection of the car window in "Live Free or Die" (2023), the arm hanging outside the car window in "Brave Action" (2024), and the sharp contrast between the breath-holding car interior and the blood-like red outside the car window in "I enjoy my own tranquility" (2024) all demonstrate the artist's great interest in the emotional depiction in private spaces. For the artist, the world is like a big garage. In addition to "cars", it is also filled with the emotions that humans express all the time. "Wheels" may not be a regular theme in paintings, but they are an important component of vehicles and an indispensable part of people's daily lives. "Motion" emphasizes the permeability of art in our daily lives, trying to capture the complexity of human emotions through the reliable existence of car tires.

Because Hong Kong prices themselves are relatively high, they are more expensive to eat. Others are very good. There are not many people in the off-season in November. Almost all projects will definitely be able to play within half an hour. Good dream, and Shangdi is a different taste

Ocean Park Hong Kong

Family-Friendly Attractions

There are a lot of people in Hong Kong Ocean Park. It is very convenient to buy tickets in advance and scan the QR code directly at the gate. Every project needs to be queued but the order is very good!

The peak tram and views at the peak were great. The tram is surprisingly fast and had nice views with some optional illusions of the tall buildings.

The Peak

The service of booking this red diamond is very worthwhile to avoid a longer queue. There are many people going to the top of the mountain, and there are many people waiting for the cable car to go up the mountain, but the scenery above is really beautiful!

The Hong Kong Palace Museum of Culture is highly recommended. The exhibition classification tour route is clear and reasonable, and a large number of digital audio and video outputs are used to let people understand the history to be presented. It is great!
