Gallery Exhibition
Tesfaye Urgessa
The Lingering Departure
9 September – 20 October 2026
Tesfaye Urgessa presents ‘The Lingering Departure’, his first exhibition with the gallery since joining in August 2026. Bringing together paintings and works on paper created over the past year in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Stuttgart, Germany, the exhibition reflects on themes of migration, familial relationships and community, as reflections on an increasingly unsettled socio-political world.
Upcoming Hong Kong Exhibition
White Cube Hong Kong presents ‘When the Surface Thinks’, a solo exhibition by Paris-based Chinese artist Yunyao Zhang (b. 1985, Shanghai). With this new body of work, the artist contends that meaning can reside within a surface – proposing painting as a sentient field that registers, reflects and thinks.
