His work is a testament to the simple pleasures of feeling alive.

Fan Ho’s new exhibition plus his latest publication “Photography. My Passion. My Life.”, bundling the best of his work, intertwining his internationally renowned works with those that have yet to be released. The book contains an essay “My Quest”, written by Fan Ho himself in the 70’s, explaining his own practice and his stylistic journey as he was influenced by different movements in photography occurring at that time. Through his essay, we learn about his interpretations of aesthetics, poetics, philosophy and synergy, as seen in his photographs.
As per the Fan Ho family, “Fan Ho will always have a special place in our hearts, and we feel closer to him through the lasting legacy of his work. We know we will continue to discover something refreshing every time we look at his unforgettable images, be they portrayals of a bygone era or of the endurance of the human spirit.”

To celebrate the opening of HK UNSEEN by photographer Greg Girard we thought - what better way than around good food and drink? Join us for an artisanal tasting of products by small businesses such as fresh bread by local baker Wallace of Cheung Chau Sourdough, home-baked keto cupcakes by Sne Epstein, paired with wine, coffee and tea by our neighbours.
The 1980s are widely considered Hong Kong's “Golden Age", the decade when the city came into its own, seemingly full of promise and infinite possibilities. A young Greg Girard, growing up in Vancouver, was deeply struck by a 1962 photograph of Hong Kong harbour, by Eliot Elisofon, and he made it his life's mission to get here and see it for himself. He first arrived by boat in 1974 and in 1982 decided to settle down in this bustling city. Drawn by Hong Kong’s dynamic blend of east and west, Girard spent the 1980s roaming its streets, capturing Hong Kong as he saw it, especially at night, raw and very much alive. This key period helped Girard define his path as a photographer and artist.
我們誠邀您參加一趟重遊八十年代香港的旅程，重溫那段醉人的時光，那個一切皆有可能發生的年代。故事始於加拿大一位年少十八的青年 Greg Girard 於 1974 年初訪香港，後於 1982 年在此定居。被中西合壁的文化所吸引，Girard 於整個八十年代穿梭香港的不同大街小巷，懷著一份純粹拍攝他所居住的繁華城市。這段期間的創作為 Girard 的攝影生涯奠下基石，及後成為了國際知名的攝影藝術家。
‘The Labyrinth’, with a book soon to be published under the same title, is a series captured by rising photographer Christopher Button on his many late nights spent in the underground stations of Hong Kong, where he transforms some of the city’s most crowded locations into a quiet, dystopian world. Shooting with analogue in an age dominated by digital media, he presents a horror film reminiscent of Kubrick’s cinema that is perhaps relatable to those who also feel trapped during these times of uncertainty.
《迷宮》為新晉攝影師 Christopher Button 多次於傍晚到訪地下鐵路站所拍下的系列，他將白天總是熙來攘往的一帶轉化成一個寂靜、反烏托邦的世界。當今一切都似乎被數碼化，唯獨 Christopher 仍熱衷於菲林攝影，其作品集結起來仿如一齣驚悚片，流露一絲絲名導演 Stanley Kubrick 的影像風格，而照片所湧現的無力感，或許能反映同樣處於未知境地的大家。另外，同名攝影書亦會於展覽期間出售。
‘NUDE STUDIES 裸體研究’ explores the age-old fixation by artists to represent the human body specifically through the lens of three current photographers. All practice within the analog domain and yet their work manifests in unique forms. From the Grand Master of the minimal black & white aesthetic, Michael Kenna breaks new ground by photographing the human figure for the first time but not without his signature style. For colour and the vital female gaze we turn to Au Tze Long whose intimate and deeply personal works move between stories, dreams, ritual and reality, whispering of life’s inherent messiness and pain. Ben Felten’s project on photosynthesis marriages content and technique as his double exposures of plants on nudes come to life through cyanotype printing which are developed in sunlight.
Blue Lotus Gallery proudly presents Japanese photographer Yasuhiro Ogawa’s debut exhibition in Hong Kong: ‘The Dreaming’. The exhibition will feature a selection of about 20 handmade dark room prints.
‘The Dreaming’ is Ogawa’s latest photo-book (published February 2020) comprising a collection of black and white photographs, shot during his travels throughout Asia over the past 30 years. Ogawa visited China (including Tibet), Myanmar, India, Cambodia and other countries. As per publisher Mark Pearson: ‘Ogawa’s photographs succeed in a difficult task: capturing the world as otherworldly and fascinating as it can truly be.’
For the artist, revisiting his negatives felt like reliving an old dream.
But for many of us, these images will echo the feeling of care free travel: the sensation of freedom, andwaiting… simply feeling alive… something we, for now, can only just but dream about.
A friendly 'Meet the Artist' session where people can have books, prints and tiles signed by Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze in person.

Back to nature is a photographic journey through Mongolia, with Marc Progin, that bypasses the walls of societies and the cities to enlarge our horizon and reconnect with the 3 worlds that are the sky, the earth and nature. It is at the same time while travelling in open space, to enter your inner self; to discover the beauties of nature and awaken those who sleep in you. It is to find the human essence, from where we came from and to give a reason to our life, learn for what else we are on earth than to live.

This exhibition showcases the last body of work of prominent photographer Fan Ho as embodied in the book project ‘Portrait of Hong Kong’. For this final endeavour the celebrated and much-loved photographer and film director, Fan Ho, went through his extensive archive of negatives to compile a of series of work that had not previously been published. In 2015 Fan Ho selected about 500 old negatives from his own archive which he then cropped in his signature style. After the deeply unfortunate event of his passing, it took another year for the project to be completed with the help of his family and Sarah Greene. The flow of images takes you on a journey travelling from West to East of Hong Kong Island, starting with the boat people, moving through construction and modernisation, across the harbour to Kowloon side, ending in the New Territories and the quiet waters of Hong Kong.
