In the midst of global uncertainty and economic slowdown, Zhao Fang's oeuvre seems ever more frank and emotionally revealing. His confrontational canvases unveil the truths about power struggle, the intricate relationships between humans, as well as the opposing contradictions we face in life. His work evokes conflict of emotions through the portrayal of silent yet graceful violence in contrast to the delicate harmony, beauty and integrated equilibrium of the work. Zhao's unusual maturity for his age is reflected in his choice of subject matter and his patience in depicting the very essence of the human anatomy and its respective movements into an almost photographic representation. Schoeni Art Gallery is privileged to present Zhao Fang's second solo exhibition Blossoming Fists, as a continuation to his much acclaimed first solo, Fist Power in 2006.

Following the tradition for the past 8 years, Schoeni Art Gallery will once again participate in Hong Kong's best known art charity event, Hong Kong ArtWalk 2009. It is a once in a year opportunity in which one could contribute to charity while at the same time viewing a plethora of art, along with fine wine and canapés within an extended area from Soho to Aberdeen. With up to 64 galleries participating this year, all Hong Kong ArtWalk 2009 raised donations will benefit the Society for Community Organisation (SoCO). Proceeds raised will be used in SoCO's proactive community work, original social policy research and advocacy role.
