The Chosen Ones: Ocula’s Pick of Art for August
Save to My OculaWhat are the artworks that have caught our attention this August? Among them are Robert Feintuch’s lucid, candyfloss-coloured vision of masculinity (Rabble II, 2010); Wan Chaoqian’s painted still-life assemblages that fuse Pop Minimalism with internet culture (Clean #08, 2025); and Shafei Xia’s ceramic piece that cuts ornamentation and refinement with irreverence and eroticism (La montagna, 2023).
Explore more of our standout works and exhibitions from Ocula’s member galleries this month. Ocula’s gallery membership is by invitation-only, and overseen by an international panel of industry peers.
