Shape of Water

Edouard Malingue Gallery presents the group exhibition, Shape of Water, showcasing works by Chou Yu-Cheng, Ko Sin Tung, Kwan Sheung Chi, Lai Chih-Sheng and Wang Wei. The exhibition is part of the‘Galleries Curate: RHE’ programme, initiated as an expression of unity and presenting a total of 21 exhibitions concurrently on the online platform and the exhibition spaces of the participating galleries from January until May 2021, in order to express the dynamic dialogue between the galleries’ individual programmes.

Responding to the overarching theme, Edouard Malingue presents the exhibition ‘Shape of Water’, interpreting the water from different perspectives that are equally pertinent: water has for long been a unique subject in the history of Chinese art, as both an essential artistic material, and a subject matter of cardinal importance. Five artists from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan regions of China participate in the ‘Shape of Water’ exhibition; attentive to the geographical, political, historical and cultural backgrounds of the gallery’s locus, they present artworks that deal directly with the flowing, rolling theme of water.
