Connoisseur Art Gallery

Connoisseur Art Gallery Review

This well-known gallery represents a small batch of modern, mostly figurative Chinese artists, though it also showcases the dreamlike work of Swedish painter Dorina Mocan and dabbles in photography. Recent exhibitions have featured farflung talents, from eastern Asia to South America. The gallery started to push out of its—and Hong Kong's—comfort zone with the opening of Connoisseur Contemporary a few doors down in 2008; it features the often controversial creative output of the sociopolitical group referred to as the "eighties generation"—mainland Chinese emerging artists born in the 1980s under the one-child policy and known for subversive works.
