About

PODIUM presents Phantom('s) Presence — the first solo exhibition by Rotterdam-based Japanese artist Shimon Kamada, and his first at the gallery. Drawn from childhood and teenage photo albums back home in Japan, the new works stage memory as something that floats, overlaps, and refuses to sit still: hometown streets, domestic interiors, landscapes, and dream logic held together by warped light and a quiet, uneasy shadow. The title works both ways. Memory hangs around like a ghost that never quite leaves the room; it also nods to phantom limb — the strange sense that what is gone can still feel present. Kamada leans into that instability. Partway through the run, some pieces will be rearranged and remade, so the show itself keeps shifting while you are looking. Exhibition details: Dates: 13 June – 29 August 2026 Hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM (closed Sundays, Mondays, and public holidays) Venue: PODIUM Gallery, Unit 9D, E Tat Factory Building, 4 Heung Yip Road, Wong Chuk Hang A slow afternoon in Wong Chuk Hang for anyone who likes painting that feels half-remembered — and half still happening.
