K11 and WOAW Gallery have just announced a new upcoming group exhibition themed on Los Angeles-based artists. Bringing the West coast to Hong Kong is Hot Concrete: LA to HK, curated by LA’s Sow & Tailor and co-organized by Ouyang Art Consulting. The major showing will see 30 artists and over 55 pieces of artwork.
Names like Greg Ito (pictured above), Peter Shire, Mario Ayala, Kara Joslyn, and Darren & Candice Romanelli, to name a few, will all have works present at the showing. WOAW’s Kevin Poon comments on the exhibition, “Growing up in Hong Kong and Los Angeles, it’s been a dream come true to do a cross-cultural exhibition of Los Angeles-based artists in Hong Kong that can inspire future generations.”
The work of Hot Concrete’s artists serves as a reminder for the audience in Hong Kong to reflect on their personal histories, their relationship to the city, and the communities that shape it. Karen Galloway, Founder and Director of Sow & Tailor, elaborates on this second iteration of Sow & Tailor’s inaugural exhibition which took place in 2021: “I’m so grateful for the opportunity to bring this incredible group of Los Angeles-based artists to Hong Kong, cultivating new artistic dialogues between these two cities. Hot Concrete is a special presentation that will be talked about for years to come.”
With less than a week to go, a full list of the artists on display can be found below as well as the opening details.
