White Cube Hong Kong is pleased to present the first exhibition in Asia by London-based artist Shaqúelle Whyte (b. 2000, Wolverhampton, UK), featuring new large-scale paintings.
Exploring time, space and the subconscious, Whyte’s imagined environments evoke a sense of mystery and introspection, using loose brushstrokes and expansive compositions. Through a non-linear narrative, his recurring motifs and staged figures lend a theatrical quality, as if his canvases were scenes from an unfolding play. Though devoid of self-portraiture, Whyte’s paintings reflect his inner life, inviting viewers to interpret his surreal, dreamlike worlds as reflections of their own.
‘Inside the White Cube’ is a series of exhibitions showcasing work by non-represented artists at the forefront of global developments in contemporary art who have not previously exhibited with the gallery.
Launched in 2011 at White Cube Bermondsey in London, the programme has since expanded to the gallery’s other locations.
