"We Paint What You Might See" Group Exhibition
Tang Contemporary Art presents a compelling group exhibition featuring three distinguished artists: Ben Ashton, Ivan Pokidyshev, and Jochen Mühlenbrink. This exhibition explores the intersection between visual perception and artistic interpretation, challenging viewers to reconsider the relationship between what we see and what truly exists. The three artists share a common philosophy: painting serves as a medium to reimagine and reshape visual reality rather than merely document it. While each demonstrates exceptional technical mastery, their work transcends simple representation. They create a dynamic tension between physical observation and psychological perception, opening up spaces where appearance and reality diverge in subtle yet profound ways. Ben Ashton's practice draws from classical portraiture traditions—incorporating confident poses, refined compositions, and historical gravitas—only to deliberately disrupt these conventions. Through his extensive study of old masters combined with digital-age aesthetics, he introduces glitches and formal ruptures that undermine the authority, confidence, and historical certainty these portraits once projected. His subjects remain recognizable, yet their projected authority becomes destabilized, creating both visual and conceptual uncertainty. Curated by Zoe Tsang and Willa Yip, this exhibition invites viewers to question their assumptions about visual truth and artistic representation. Opening reception: August 22, 2026, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Continue to Cherish: Leslie Cheung 70th Birthday Memorial Exhibition
Hong Kong Heritage Museum marks what would have been Leslie Cheung's 70th birthday with a fuller, richer sequel to the 2023 "Continue to Cherish" memorial show. Presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and curated by Florence Chan (陳淑芬), with support from LesFANmily (「哥」迷會), it looks back at the singer-actor who still defines Hong Kong pop culture for generations of fans — and for the "post-Leslie" wave discovering him online. Expect selected vinyl and albums, stage costumes, film posters and stills, awards, and pop-culture memorabilia, woven through multimedia programmes and photo spots. For the first time, parts of Leslie's former home are reconstructed on site — a quieter, more intimate chapter beside the glitter of the concert stage and the silver screen. The exhibition traces his music beyond Hong Kong — from Japan and Korea to Malaysia, the US, Canada, Australia and the UK — and the film career of over fifty titles that won him Hong Kong Film Awards and international recognition. 📅 Dates: 9 September 2026 – 10 May 2027 ⏰ Hours: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM (Tue–Fri); 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM (Sat–Sun); closed Mondays (except public holidays) 📍 Special Exhibition Gallery 5, 1/F, Hong Kong Heritage Museum, Sha Tin 🎟 Admission: check museum website for ticket details 🔗 https://hk.heritage.museum/tc/exhibitions/leslie70th.html
