WOAW Gallery is pleased to present Chinese artist Kang Haoxian’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, In Montion, which will be held at the gallery’s Wan Chai space from August 31 to October 14, 2024. Kang Haoxian is known for his grand and atmospheric paintings. His past works are known for combining magical realism elements with pop culture, but in In Montion he will change his style and bring a new artistic creation. Art attempts to start from the subtle moments in life and more specific objects, so in this series of artworks, the brushstrokes are transferred to "wheels". 
People drive vehicles and make tires move. For Kang Haoxian, "wheels" have always been an indispensable part of society since their appearance. And based on the increasingly progressive needs of development, humans began to produce and use tires in large quantities. He noticed that tires are a special tool, but human love makes them more diverse. The craftsmanship and performance are a reflection of the driver's ultimate pursuit, and human emotional involvement is reflected here like a mirror. On the other hand, in this series of works, he emphasizes a unique perception of the friction between tires, the environment and the road, and transforms it into a philosophical and poetic metaphor - tires take people far away, and also take people to an unexpected and farther future. 
The artist explores the emotions wandering in private spaces through the subtle portrayal of the interaction between people and cars. The woman reflected by the reflection of the car window in "Live Free or Die" (2023), the arm hanging outside the car window in "Brave Action" (2024), and the sharp contrast between the breath-holding car interior and the blood-like red outside the car window in "I enjoy my own tranquility" (2024) all demonstrate the artist's great interest in the emotional depiction in private spaces. For the artist, the world is like a big garage. In addition to "cars", it is also filled with the emotions that humans express all the time. "Wheels" may not be a regular theme in paintings, but they are an important component of vehicles and an indispensable part of people's daily lives. "Motion" emphasizes the permeability of art in our daily lives, trying to capture the complexity of human emotions through the reliable existence of car tires.

Hong Kong Disneyland is one of the popular theme parks in Asia, attracting tourists with its unique fairy tale atmosphere and family-friendly entertainment projects. Although the park is smaller than other Disneylands, it has compact facilities and reasonable routes for day trips. Classic projects such as &quot;Grizzly Bear Valley Speed Mining Car&quot; and &quot;Lost Manor&quot; are full of creativity, and the night light show &quot;Disney Star Dream Light and Shadow Tour&quot; is an audio-visual feast. However, some tourists believe that the price of dining in the park is high, and the traffic is large on holidays and the queue time is long. In addition, Hong Kong Disneyland&#39;s IP linkage and update speed is slightly insufficient compared to Shanghai or Tokyo Disneyland. Overall, it is still a good choice for parent-child travel and Disney fans, but it is recommended to avoid peak hours and plan your trip in advance to enhance the experience.

The Peak
No one comes to Hong Kong without visiting Victoria Peak, but the few times I went there before I took the cable car up and down. This time I followed a few friends to do a night hike from Central. Hike the mountains and walk on the moon in search of immortals, swim in the sea and chase the waves and play with dragons. The approximate route is Central Garden Road and Mid-Levels Escalator - Old Peak Road - Victoria Peak - down to Central. I have to say that Hong Kong is really suitable for hiking. This route is not difficult and it takes about 40 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. The happiness of climbing up by yourself and looking at the night view is something you can never experience by taking the cable car. Then I saw a wild boar 🐗 crossing the road.

amazing view going up the peak on the tram! it can be a bit packed depending on the time you head there and the seats require some strategic planning if you intend to catch good view of the scenery. there are a handful of eateries and shops to browse as well as opportunities to capture the skyline of the city.

Museum masters must punch in the museum wherever they go! There are few people. It&rsquo;s good to take pictures. Unlike other places, I don&rsquo;t know whether to take exhibits or shoot people! There are also a lot of things. The gold jewelry donated by well-known big men are beautiful.
