Field Signs | Neo Rauch Solo Exhibition
Location: David Zwirner 5–6/F, H Queen’s, 80 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong
Dates: 16 November 2023 – 24 February 2024
Opening Hours: 11:00-19:00 (Tuesday to Saturday)
Widely celebrated as one of the most influential figurative painters working today, Rauch is known for richly colored and elaborate paintings that contain a repertoire of invented characters, settings, objects, and motifs. At once realistic and familiar, enigmatic and inscrutable, his paintings often hint at broader narratives and histories—seemingly reconnecting with the artistic traditions of realism—yet they are dreamlike and frequently contain disparate and overlapping spaces and forms.
This presentation follows his 2021 solo exhibition The Signpost at David Zwirner New York and marks his second solo show at the Hong Kong gallery, following his 2019 exhibition Propaganda. His work is the subject of the 2023 solo exhibition The Dream of Reason at Montpellier Contemporain, France, and Neo Rauch: Die Mitte, which was on view at Museum de Fundatie, Zwolle, in the Netherlands, in 2022.

Marisol, an artist with an exceptionally creative and unique artistic perspective, cleverly combines woodwork with drawing, oil painting, and found objects to create works that are both bizarre and satirical. With ingenious skill in wood carving, she transforms wood into lifelike artistic representations, resulting in a distinctive artistic style. In her series of works, Marisol delves into the roles and positions of women in society, drawing inspiration from this exploration to showcase profound insights into real-life experiences.
In her artworks, one can observe rich details and elements from contemporary life. Sculptural patterns and elements of attire are skillfully integrated into the surroundings and sides of her works, rendering them more three-dimensional and vibrant. While Marisol's works may not be considered exceptionally outstanding in today's art market, they undoubtedly possess a high degree of modernity within the context of their time.
I once had the opportunity to visit an exhibition at the Montreal Museum in Canada, which was centered around Marisol's art. It left a deep impression on me, underscoring that her artistic achievements deserve broader recognition. The exhibition presented Marisol's artistic journey and creative philosophy, providing us with a chance to gain a deeper understanding of this exceptionally talented artist.
In this exhibition characterized by its satirical and eccentric style, Marisol's works not only offer us artistic enjoyment but also encourage deeper contemplation of the real world while appreciating beauty. This exhibition serves as a window, allowing us to glimpse Marisol's unique insights into societal phenomena and her profound analysis of human nature.In this exhibition characterized by its satirical and eccentric style, Marisol's works not only offer us artistic enjoyment but also encourage deeper contemplation of the real world while appreciating beauty.
