Press Release

David Zwirner is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by New Zealand–born and Los Angeles–based artist Emma McIntyre (b. 1990) at the gallery’s Hong Kong location. This is the artist’s first solo show in Asia and her second exhibition with David Zwirner, following An echo, a stain (2023), a solo presentation of her work at the gallery’s East 69th Street location in New York. McIntyre creates vivid abstractions imbued with chromatic and gestural energy. Made with oils and unconventional substances like oxidized iron, her instinctual yet deeply considered works explore the alchemical possibilities of the painted medium and expand traditional understandings of landscape and the natural world.

McIntyre’s practice is protean and rhizomatic; each painting shares its roots with the ones before and after it, enacting an endlessly transformative system of generation and discovery. Building on her investigations into process, material, and divergent lineages of art history, the paintings on view in Hong Kong open new avenues of dialogue between the creative drive of the artist’s hand and the forces of physics and nature. McIntyre has been represented by David Zwirner since February 2024.

Spotlights
With paint, it feels like you're working through stages where it's like mud, and then you're turning it back into something meaningful. I think of how something two dimensional can take on a three dimensionality. I think of all these things as alchemy.
