Zhang Kechun: Yellow Land
La Galerie, Hong Kong, 20 November 2025 to 24 January 2026
La Galerie Paris 1839 presented “Yellow Land and The Sky Garden” from November 20, 2025 through January 24, 2026 at 74 Hollywood Road, Central. The exhibition marked Zhang’s first Hong Kong outing since 2017 and paired recent work from two series. “Yellow Land” extends his long engagement with northern China’s loess plateau and the afterimage of industry. “The Sky Garden” shifts the gaze to engineered green spaces that hover over new urban fabric. In his Yellow River project, Zhang uses a large-format, high-key palette and broad, atmospheric compositions to position small human figures and infrastructure inside vast, muted landscapes. The effect is cool and unsentimental. You read the pictures for evidence of modernization and urban geometry. The gallery anchored the run with bilingual artist talks at the opening.

Yayoi Kusama, “I Spend Each Day Embracing Flowers”
David Zwirner Gallery, New York, May 11 – Friday, July 21, 2023
Yayoi Kusama is one of Japanese Pop-Art’s leading lights, combining monumental works with a minimal, feminist, and conceptual blend of sculpture and painting. Her signature gesture is a field of dots, in the case of this show applied to monumental abstracted squash / biomorphic shapes. The effects range from bland to transcendent.
The New York Times comments on her instagram-perfect immersive scenarios:
“It’s a beautiful effect. (Or it was for me, alone in the room; you’ll be sharing the experience with up to three other visitors at a time.) But you needn’t be Dr. Freud to diagnose that the narcissism of a new selfie-devoted public has canceled, utterly, the goals of self-obliteration that Ms. Kusama intends her infinite installations to achieve. The self cannot dissolve when the selfie is the goal.”
