Check out works by Henry Moore at the British Council, Ailsa Wong at De Sarthe, Robert Ryman at David Zwirner and Salvatore Emblema at White Cube
Ailsa Wong: 1
In her solo exhibition “1”, Hong Kong-based artist Ailsa Wong imagines a shared sentient body – a single organism made up of many, not unlike an ant colony where every role is vital to the whole. This idea takes form in an immersive, cave-like environment filled with moving sculptures, interactive video games, a mechanical sound installation and mixed-media works that speak to the diversity of her practice.
De Sarthe, 26/F, M Place, 54 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Wong Chuk Hang, until July 26.

Robert Ryman
The late American artist’s first solo show in China presents works from the 1960s to the 2000s across two floors of
David Zwirner
. Known for his use of white paint, Robert Ryman treated the medium not as absence but as inquiry as he tested how surface, scale, material and even fasteners shape a painting’s relationship to its space.
David Zwirner, 5-6/F, H Queen’s, 80 Queen’s Road Central, until August 1.

Salvatore Emblema
This retrospective traces four decades of work by the late Italian artist Salvatore Emblema, known for his exploration of light and evolving relationship with site, surface and material. The show spans his early use of natural pigments and modest materials, through his development of open-structure canvases designed to engage natural light, to later works that move from pure abstraction towards representation.

Moore’s Visions. More Revisions
This debut exhibition at the British Council’s new Bookshop Gallery pairs seven rarely seen lithographs by British
sculptor Henry Moore
with works by four contemporary artists – Zheng Bo, Chihoi, Wilson Shieh Ka-ho and Liao Wen – whose responses open a dialogue across generations. Curated by Hong Kong’s Jims Lam Chi-hang, the show revisits Moore’s influence in the city while challenging conventional hierarchies in the visual arts.
British Council Bookshop Gallery, G/F, 3 Supreme Court Road, Admiralty, until October 5.
