Press Release

White Cube Hong Kong is pleased to present an exhibition of paintings by Salvatore Emblema (1929–2006), marking the first solo presentation in Asia of works by the Italian artist. Born in 1929 in Terzigno, Naples, Emblema, with his singular focus on the qualities of light, space and transparency, diverged from his contemporaries in Italy’s post-war avant-garde. Inspired by the landscape of his upbringing – a volcanic red-zone on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius – Emblema worked predominantly with natural materials, extracting his pigments from soils, stones and agricultural materials.

About the Gallery

An international art powerhouse, White Cube was established in 1993 in London by art dealer Jay Jopling. In its space on Duke Street, it served as the early exhibition venue for many now internationally acclaimed British artists, including Tracey Emin, Gilbert & George, Rachel Kneebone and Antony Gormley, who still show with the gallery today.
