Purely Passion
In this exhibition artists Darius Ma and Oscar Law have created work
based on images from Hong Kong’s collective memory and culture.
Ma presents moody, vibrant shots of the Star Ferry in a collage with
other iconic landmarks and images. These are juxtaposed against Law’s
intricate black-and-white charcoal sketches of Chinese opera singers
and people. The only thing missing? Probably all the people taking
photos of their own food. Through Aug 21. Galerie Koo, 7/F, Vogue
Building, 67 Wyndham St., Central, 2525-0331.
Old Master Q:
What The @#$% Is Going On?
The slapstick comic book adventures of Old
Master Q were a staple of every Hong Kong
childhood. Sotheby’s is holding a sale of classic
“Old Master Q” comics, with over 120 original
works by Hong Kong’s favorite comic artist,
Alfonso Wong (also known by his pen name,
Wong Chak). See a whole bunch of original
comic covers, as well as some classic strips
from the 60s to the 80s. Kung fu, pretty girls
in cheongsams and a whole lot of surrealism:
don’t miss it. Through Aug 29. Sotheby’s Hong
Kong Gallery, 5/F, One Pacific Place,
88 Queensway, Admiralty, 2524-8121.

Transformation
Karin Weber Gallery brings a selection of emerging and mid-career
Indian artists to this group show. Abstract art lovers will adore the
work of Ravi Mandlik, who’s one of India’s leading abstractionists—he
draws a lot of inspiration from nature and cosmic energies. Contrast it
with Seema Kohli’s bold and intricate paintings and colorful, detailed
brushwork. If you like your art a little grittier, don’t miss Phaneendra Nath
Chaturvedi’s paintings of robotic humans, meant to be a metaphor for
modern society. Ooh, so gritty. Through Sep 7. Karin Weber Gallery, G/F,
20 Aberdeen St., Central, 2544-5004.
The Game is Killing the Game
The Salt Yard’s latest exhibition features photographer
David Chancellor’s work documenting safari hunting in South
Africa. From showing the hunters to the hunted, the works
by the three-time Nikon photographer of the year are equally
disturbing and profound, bringing to light the brutality of this
bloodthirsty sport. Through Aug 24. The Salt Yard, Unit B1,
4/F, Jone Mult Industrial Building, 169 Wai Yip St.,
Kwun Tong, 3563-8003.
