Blue Lotus Gallery will be hosting a group exhibition "Hong Kong Dimensions” featuring the incredible work of award winning French and Hong Kong artists.The new and fascinating group exhibition at the gallery’s Hong Kong venue will present works of artists Alexis Ip, Daphné Mandel, Pete Ross, and Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze. The exhibition has been selected for the official program of Le French May 2018. It will take the audience on a deeper and unique journey through the iconic city in terms of space, time, the ultra real, the imagined, and the point where they intersect."Hong Kong Dimensions” explores Hong Kong in all its dimensions from above and under, its back alleys, its everyday moments in old neighborhoods, and its collision with nature. The exhibit is driven by curiosity or a desire for preserving its cultural heritage. Here, each artist expresses his personal testimonial of their beloved city in their own special way from descriptive to fantastical and whimsical.The featured photographs break through the “Hong Kong Dimensions” with works that play with layers in space and time, where still life comes to life. In these pictures, the real looks fake and the manipulated looks natural. The artists final form varies in distinctive ways from 2D, expanding to 3D work, hand drawings, and even moving collages resulting in unique pieces that reveal talent beyond photography. Almost all the featured works are unique pieces, ranging from the the extreme handmade to the hyper digital.Alexis Ip is secondary school Visual Arts teacher and practiced pottery and sculpture under the guidance of Eric Chan, Chan Chung Kong, and Chu Tat Shing. Popular works include “The Blue House” and his pottery work “The Old Memories,” which were selected in the Hong Kong Arts Biennial 2005.Daphné Mandel (b.1975, Lausanne) grew up in Paris.
