FRANK WALTER: PASTORALE
Considered a creative polymath, Frank Walter (1926-2009) was an Antiguan artist, writer, composer, philosopher, photographer and sculptor. This autumn, David Zwirner brings the first presentation of his work in Asia to Hong Kong in Pastorale. Walter's work was informed by his mixed-race heritage-which included aristocratic European slave owners-his role as the manager of a sugar plantation (a rare Black man among white peers), and an influential trip to Scotland. The exhibition is curated by the scholar and the artist's close friend Barbara Paca, and features a group of Caribbean landscape paintings alongside those depicting Scottish meadows. Other works featured use a variety of unusual materials including Polaroid film cartridge boxes, mosquito coil boxes, and fragments of sketchpad covers. From September 14 to October 28.
