Press Release

Dreaming Rich is the first solo exhibition in Hong Kong by artist Yinka Shonibare MBE. The artist continues his exploration of colonialism and post-colonialism with a series of all new works commenting on Hong Kong’s modern day relationship with labour, power and wealth.

Dreaming Rich is a characteristically exuberant and colourful critique of wealth, which simultaneously acknowledges society’s complicity with it. Shonibare’s questioning of cultural and national definitions is a pertinent one for Hong Kong, whose identity has been affected by the conflicting influences of Chinese and British colonialism. The exhibition offers a social commentary on Hong Kong’s fascination with luxury commodities, and how those have come in part a medium for social identity.
