10 Not-To-Be-Missed Art Galleries In Central, Hong Kong
As the embodiment of history and sophistication, financial buoyancy and cultural vibrancy, Central never fails to impress. Notwithstanding the successive branching out of international gallery giants into the territory, Hong Kong’s art ecosystem remains an open chessboard upholding diversity and vitality. Amidst the narrow and steep streets stand quality local galleries endeavoring to establish their increasingly recognized presence, keeping a delicate balance between the high-end market and the community.
White Cube
Art Gallery
In 2012, as the first overseas branch stretched from England, White Cube simply stunned the crowd by its luxurious occupation of the two-storey space extending over 2,000 square feet. Prodigiously spacious and ambitious, the gallery made a glamorous debut showcasing the London Pictures by the famed London’s duo, Gilbert & George. Since then it has never ceased to be a leading gallery giant in Hong Kong, bringing buzz-stirring exhibits from weighty artists. Currently the gallery presents the esteemed Mexican artist Gabriel Orozc’s solo exhibition, whose artworks center on form, geometrics and fluidity.

Well-established as a contemporary art leader in Tokyo, Whitestone Gallery expanded into Hong Kong in 2015, setting up two galleries in Wong Chuk Hong and Central respectively. The gallery comes to Hong Kong with a mission of lifting avant-garde Gutai art to an international context, ultimately bridging the distance between Japanese and international art communities. Postwar East Asian art has indeed been receiving increasing acclaim worldwide – Gutai being no exception. The current Yume Asobi exhibition by Nobuko Watabiki would unveil how the experimental Gutai art has been far ahead of times.
