November
At the turn of October,
the rising wind carries a trace of autumn,
and every brushstroke upon the canvas
seems like a gentle signal delivered by time.
In the depths of November,
the morning light glimmers with a quiet chill,
while golden hues flicker between the leaves,
as if echoing an art that flows in silence.

SATORI
The “SATORI” exhibition was held at the Fringe Club in Hong Kong from August 27 to 30, 2025. When art is no longer a piling up of knowledge but a sincere dialogue with the inner self, the exhibition—guided by the philosophy of Zhuangzi—invited visitors to release the constraints of reason and step into a realm of pure perception. Across these four days, art was not a fixed definition but a living flow; not mere images, but resonances. Each gaze became an act of free participation in creation. Visitors wandered among the works, encountering echoes of the soul within light and color, while opening new reflections through interaction and exchange. This exhibition at the Fringe Club was more than a showcase of artistic expression—it was a collective exploration of existence and freedom. We sincerely thank everyone who joined us; your presence made “SATORI” a complete and profound journey.

In Chinese bronze script, the character jian resembles the imagery of a figure bending over water, gazing at its reflection in a bronze basin. Over time, the word has taken on a metaphorical meaning—to reflect one’s character. An object that serves only a practical purpose, devoid of deeper meaning, remains merely an ordinary vessel. But when a ware is crafted with meticulous care—balancing utility with symbolic significance—it becomes an embodiment of the Dao that transcends verbal expression. The forms and decorations of ancient artefacts not only reflect our ancestors’ reverence for nature and their quest for cosmic harmony but also bear witness to cultural exchange. In their silhouettes, we discern the essence of the universe; in their patterns, the laws of creation. Each vessel is a cipher to antiquity’s intellectual world, and only by retracing this path can we decipher the past to illuminate the present.
The distinguished members of the Min Chiu Society have long upheld the aspiration to “revere antiquity while diligently seeking knowledge”. Their practice transcends mere collecting, embracing instead a tradition of meticulous study and has gained international acclaim. In celebration of the 65th anniversary of the Society, this exhibition features over 400 sets of precious Chinese artefacts from their collections, including Chinese painting and calligraphy, ceramics, bronzes, lacquerware, jades, bamboo carvings, furniture and snuff bottles, for the enjoyment, appreciation and enlightenment for all.

The Musée Picasso in Paris is set to undergo an expansion
Following the Musée d’Orsay and the Louvre, France’s cultural and artistic sector is embarking on another major undertaking. Forty years after its opening, the Musée Picasso in Paris is launching a large-scale renovation project expected to last until 2030. The plan includes the construction of a new wing dedicated to seasonal exhibitions, as well as a complete redesign of the garden. The cost of the project is estimated at 50 million euros.
Located in the heart of Paris, the Musée Picasso is the French — and indeed global — public institution that holds the largest collection of Picasso’s works, with more than 5,000 pieces and 200,000 archival documents. The ambitious renovation will merge the museum with the adjoining Salé–Leonor Fini mansion park and add a new exhibition hall specifically designed for seasonal shows. Throughout the renovation process, and especially during the comprehensive works scheduled between 2028 and 2030, the museum will remain open to the public.

Art Explorer: The Diverse Artistic World of Wong Shun Yu
In the vast realm of art, Wong Shun Yu shines like a rising star radiating a unique brilliance. With unwavering dedication and a distinctive understanding of art, Wong continues to explore and forge new paths in the artistic domain.
Wong Shun Yu's academic journey is remarkable. In 2018, he earned a BA degree majoring in Visual Arts from the Hong Kong Baptist University. Later, in 2023, he obtained a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree from the School of Experimental Art at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. This solid professional education has laid a profound foundation for his artistic creations.
Reflecting on his exhibition history, Wong Shun Yu has an impressively rich portfolio. Recent solo exhibitions include"Acclimated Difference” (Hexagon Gallery Shen Zhen 2023), "Nam Nan" (2022, AMSpace, Hong Kong), and "The 333rd Day Since I Left Home" (2021, AMSpace, Hong Kong). Each exhibition reflects his artistic contemplation and expression. In addition to solo shows, he actively participates in numerous group exhibitions, such as CAFA Graduation Exhibition (CAFA Art Museum Beijing 2023), Ink & Fluidity (Galarie Koo Hong Kong 2021), and "Shining Moment"(TANG Art Foundation Hong Kong 2021). Wong's dynamic presence on diverse artistic stages has allowed him to shine brightly, culminating in him being awarded the "Future Artist Award" by the Central Academy of Fine Arts this year—an esteemed recognition of his artistic accomplishments.
Wong Shun Yu demonstrates a diverse range of artistic expressions in his creations. His solo exhibitions, such as "Bulliform Maternityl" (October 19–November 30, 2024) and "Stamen Or Pistil, Are Semi-Permanent" (November 30, 2023–January 19, 2024), offer glimpses into his multifaceted approach. Wong's works seem to encapsulate delicate reflections on life or artistic reinterpretations of past experiences. Fragmented yet authentic moments of everyday life are skillfully woven into his creations, imbued with a unique perspective and expressive techniques. These elements invite viewers to experience a distinct artistic resonance, as if stepping into a poetic and contemplative world that Wong has meticulously crafted.
Wong Shun Yu is steadily forging his unique path in the art world, continually exploring new possibilities. With his unwavering dedication and innovative spirit, we can look forward to him delivering more remarkable and inspiring works in the future.

Background & Installation: In the Post-Normal Times, painting should coexist with AI rather than be replaced. Echoing James Lovelock’s Novacene, this installation stages human–AI parallelism: from hand sketches to tablet painting to AI generation, and from a micro island critical zone, through a meso solar-system view, to a macro cosmic mandala—mapping energy cycles and symbiosis among life, Gaia, and the cosmos. Not an end but a reflective new beginning; the most heartfelt emotions still require human guidance.
Extension (Four Paintings): As an affective extension, the quartet brings the macro narrative back to everyday life and the inner self, mirroring the installation’s micro–meso–macro arc.
-
Object 佑: Objects become vessels of feeling and faith—turning “thing” into blessing.
-
Youth 青: Inspired by Tadao Ando, a guarded mindset that turns pain into possibility.
-
Verde 绿: Serendipitous sparks that renew the ordinary.
-
GAIAN: Resonance maturing into symbiosis—a collective co-adapting with Gaia.
Together they shift from human×AI collaboration to the bond of heart and object, from individual sensing to cosmic resonance.
