Parenthèses and Latitude 22N are pleased to present Hong Kong: Between Mountains and Sea, a solo exhibition of drawings paired with written works by French artist Gérard Henry. This presentation is timed to coincide with the launch of Henry’s second book Hong Kong : Entre Montagnes et Mer, published by TANDE&M Editions for the account of Continental Books Limited (ISBN : 978-988-70478-0-3)
“I am simultaneously a stroller, walking back alleys and small streets night and day, a writer, and an artist portraying Hong Kong through my words and drawings. To me, Hong Kong transpires its beauty as much from the inside as from the surface. A city does not exist without living things – living things being people, animals, and plants. They shape this city and give it it’s unique personality.”
A black ink pen and paper always at hand, Gérard Henry explores, observes, and captures the essence of Hong Kong in his intricate, delicate, and highly detailed drawings as well as his writings. Through his compositions he offers us his vision of the city – one that is both poetic and warm.
Gérard Henry is a writer and an art critic who also practices drawing and sketching. What started as a form of meditation quickly became a daily ritual in his life – an avid stroller and a quiet spectator, he puts down on paper illustrated and written reflexions, musings, and contemplations.
In his work he chronicles back alleys, old architecture, houses, flora, fauna, and scenes captured on the fringes of the city he has called home since 1981. He also draws portraits where he reveals the personality of his friends through their home or studio as well as the paraphernalia they surround themselves with – he feels that where a person lives is a projection of their inner self.
Drawing and writing are for him two complementary ways of archiving the city. Most of Henry’s sketches are reflections on Hong Kong’s intangible spirit, its festivals, and its traditions. Drawing Hong Kong is also a way of traveling through the city. He never works after photos; instead, he always draws what he sees and feels on the spot.
“Giacometti once said, “drawing makes me understand things” and I know that to be true. Drawing forces you to observe, to discern, otherwise one would not be able to draw. Whether the result is a masterpiece or not doesn’t matter, the simple action of drawing is a profound experience that expands our understanding of the world around us.”
Hong Kong: Between Mountains and Sea is an exhibition of a curated selection of Henry’s drawings coupled with excerpts from his new book. Presented like a visual diary, they reflect his involvement in the art scene and strong connection to the city – a real testament to his deep affection for Hong Kong. As viewers we get to embark on an intimate journey of Hong Kong seen through Henry’s eyes and fall in love, repeatedly, with this beautiful city.
This exhibition is an Associated Programme of Le French May Arts Festival 2024
Books and prints by the artist will be available for purchase throughout the exhibition.

Upcoming exhibition at the Pulse, Hong Kong
We are proud to be a part of Mixed Colours: rebirth, an exhibition put together in the benefit of Children of the Mekong.
MIX COLOURS: REBIRTH is a cross-cultural art exhibition featuring 22 international artists and curated by Marie-Florence Gros (La Galerie Paris 1839) and Christel Villepelet.
MIX COLOURS: REBIRTH is a burst of colours to celebrate the energy of life, the power of diversity and natural beauty, and to highlight the links between cultures.
Wrecked on our island, or stuck elsewhere, forbidden to travel, we have cherished even more the vivid beauty around us. While pollution, globalization, threaten to fade the world’s colours and contrasts, while unexpected new threats have changed our perspectives, this exhibition enhances colours as symbols of the natural and cultural diversity to save, the original beauty to admire, the source of rebirth: a positive and energetic sight to create tomorrow’s world.

We also created an interactive installation transforming part of the display into a live ceramic studio in which we produced a unique edition of our Fragment(s) project, casting discarded moulds brought directly from the factories of Jingdezhen, China.
The exhibition ran from the 13th of October to the 4th of November 2017 at the Chicago Design Museum. Here are a few images of the show.

We are proud to be a part of Confluence • 20+, a design exhibition curated by Amy Chow.
“Confluence • 20+” is a multidisciplinary exhibition that offers a perspective on Hong Kong’s creative ecologies. The show presents inspiring collaborative projects by the best design talents in Hong Kong, a city where east and west, tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and technology synergies.
Presented by the Hong Kong Design Centre, Confluence • 20+ is a multidisciplinary exhibition series that offers a perspective on Hong Kong’s creative ecologies. As the third edition of an ongoing exhibition series, Confluence • 20+ is a stage for creative collisions. The show presents twenty truly inspiring collaborative design projects by Hong Kong’s best design talents, lending insights into the co-evolving ecosystems of the city where east and west, tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and technology synergise.
Living in an ever-reinventing and culturally diverse metropolis, the creative minds in Hong Kong have never been restrained by the city’s confining urban space. Through continual collaboration with global practitioners, they add value to materials and objects, leveraging cultural influences and resources from China, Asia and beyond. The exhibits in Confluence • 20+ are coalescences of cross-boundary interactions and intertwining relationships. Deep inside the crux of every single piece is a community woven across socioeconomic and cultural silos.
Confluence • 20+ is a visual feast of creative works showcasing Hong Kong designers’ ingenuity in crossing boundaries: East, West, Heritage, Craftsmanship, Artistry, Urban Living, and Experiential Innovation. It is an exclusive visual adventure into Hong Kong’s vibrant creative ecologies that both insiders and public audience must not miss.
