Art in Resonance 2025 Showcases Contemporary Art

A Milestone in Artistic Commitment

Gareth Roberts, Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of The Peninsula's parent company, The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited, stated, "This exhibition marks a significant milestone in our ongoing dedication to fostering artistic creativity and cultural exchange. We are thrilled to collaborate with the V&A to bring these works, along with future pieces, to the museum's presentation. Our partnership will expand the audience for these incredibly talented artists."

Celestial Installation by Phoebe Hui

The first artwork to welcome visitors is Lunar Rainbow, a massive 56-square-metre celestial-themed piece on the hotel's exterior by multimedia artist Phoebe Hui. This installation features fragmented images of the moon laser-printed on 49 aluminum plates. The creation uses a custom program to track the evolution of lunar imagery from 17th-century scientific drawings to modern open-source archives, merging the past with the present through a contemporary perspective.

Celebrating Feminine Strength with Lin Fanglu

In The Lobby, textile artist Lin Fanglu presents She's Bestowed Love, curated by Dr. Xiaoxin Li from the V&A's Asia Department. This large work showcases vibrant red sculptural forms celebrating feminine strength. Smaller forms orbiting the central piece represent individual stories, symbolizing the myriad moments that shape a woman's life. Drawing from Yunnan's Bai minorities' ancient textile traditions and the nurturing spirit of Greek goddess Gaia, the work links cultural heritage with modern expression. Following its display in Hong Kong, the installation will travel to London's V&A South Kensington.

Innovative Installation by Chris Cheung

At The Verandah, new media artist Chris Cheung presents The Flow Pavilion, an immersive installation in partnership with Tai Ping. This one-way mirror structure, inspired by a modern tea house, serves as the centrepiece of a Zen Garden in the café area. Visitors can experience the 'Flow State', a meditative exploration of self-connection, observing a kinetic sphere move across a hand-tufted silk carpet, echoing designs typical of a Zen Garden.

Peninsula's Commitment to Art

The Peninsula has long been committed to celebrating the cultural aspects of its destination cities.
