Wallace Chan has unveiled a large-scale exhibition at Shanghai’s Long Museum, bringing his sci-fi-inspired visual universe to one of China’s major art spaces. The Hong Kong-based, self-trained Chinese artist, who is also known for high jewelry creation, is presenting a sculpture-focused show built around a striking central concept.
At the heart of the exhibition are two colossal vessels that anchor the display. According to the exhibition description, the works explore recurring ideas including the cycles of life, transformation and spirituality, giving the show a philosophical dimension alongside its monumental scale.
The Shanghai presentation follows Chan’s parallel exhibition during the Venice Biennale in June, extending a period of heightened international visibility for the artist. The new show also highlights the crossover between his artistic practice and his reputation in high jewelry, underscoring the breadth of his creative identity.
With its emphasis on large-form sculpture and cosmic, reflective themes, the exhibition frames Chan’s work as both immersive and contemplative. At Long Museum, his latest project presents a dramatic encounter with ideas of change, continuity and the unknown.
