Obscuring the boundary between art and literature, Little Fables take on different forms of storytelling through art. Whitestone Gallery Hong Kong’s recent group exhibition Little Fables have the power to captivate the child in you.

身為印象派的代表人物及其中一位創始人，克洛德 ·莫奈 (Claude Monet) 是一位極具影響力的畫家。甚至，連印象派這個稱呼也是源自莫奈1872年作的油畫，《日出 · 印象》。但是，當時「印象派」這個名字並非讚美或認同，而是藝術評論家路易·樂華帶有諷刺意圖的稱謂。   

相信現在沒有一個人會不認識「梵高」(Vincent Van Gogh) 這個名字。梵高被視為表現主義的先驅，或許是全世界最知名的藝術家。被稱為偉大藝術家的他，在世時竟是一直得不到世人的賞識，一直籍籍無名。

While most galleries and art fairs move their exhibitions online amidst the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the launch of the brick-and-mortar gallery at the heart of the city is a bold move by father-and-son duo, Dominique and Arthur de Villepin. Following the cancellation of Art Basel Hong Kong’s 2020 edition, all eyes are on Art Basel’s online viewing rooms launched this week, as well as an online initiative called ART Power HK, which is backed by major art world players in the Hong Kong art scene, Villepin included. Against the backdrop of tremendous changes in the global arena as countries around the world shut their borders, leaving populations in isolation, the gallery’s inaugural exhibition in Hong Kong, “Friendship and Reconciliation,” of the late artist Zao Wou-Ki, is a timely reminder of the interconnectedness of cross-cultural artistic practices.
