Here are four outstanding art shows to see right now. Highlights include legendary artist Al Taylor’s first Asian exhibition, visual art that speaks to the relationship between humans and trees, whimsical work by Bianca Namelc and the provocative spectacle on the M+ facade by video artist Nalini Malani.
CHASING COLOURS
Playing with Colour, the first Asian exhibition by visionary American artist Al Taylor, is showing at David Zwirner gallery. Widely known for the three-dimensional works he began making in 1985, Taylor is highly regarded for his multi-layered investigations on perception. His creations shift fluidly between media, offering a glimpse into his idiosyncratic thinking, methodology and playful sense of humour. The show also highlights Taylor’s ingenious use of colour across media, as well as his transition from painting on canvas to multi-media constructions between the mid-1970s and the late ’80s.

Creative pieces by contemporary artists add volume to this important conversation about our planet.

Hidden in Plain Sight
Newly commissioned work by video artist Nalini Malani is on display on the M+ Facade. Inspired by the 1983 novel Cassandra by German writer and critic Christa Wolf, In Search of Vanished Blood recalls the story of the fall of Troy from the perspective of the woman whose visionary powers were met with contempt and scorn. Comprising live-action performance, animation, drawing, painting and found footage, this silent video was designed for the M+ Facade as a bold visual dialogue with the Hong Kong skyline.
