Kary Kwok：PhantasmagoriaSquare Street Gallery

Square Street Gallery is pleased to present Phantasmagoria, a solo exhibition by Kary Kwok. Marking the Hong Kong artist’s first solo presentation at a commercial gallery in over two decades, Kwok will showcase a series of black-and-white nude self-portraits from 1993.

Kwok’s series was inspired by the mystical erotic drawing The Hermaphrodite-Angel of Peladan (c. 1950s) by American artist Raymond Carrance (1921–88)—also known under his pseudonym Czanara—which references a French Occult Revivalist who found radicality in the androgyne. Here, Kwok situates himself in the corner of his studio sporting minimal makeup and costumes. His gaze unaverted, he guides his body to reach the limits of gender.
