Qi Lei Solo Exhibition 'Echoes of Day and Night' at Ben Brown Fine Arts Hong Kong
Ben Brown Fine Arts is set to showcase 'Echoes of Day and Night,' a solo exhibition featuring the works of Shanghai artist Qi Lei. This marks the gallery's inaugural partnership with him. Opening on 12 September 2026 and continuing until 24 October 2026 at the Hong Kong venue, the exhibition will display thirteen paintings created from 2020 to 2026. This event represents Qi Lei's first solo show in Hong Kong since his initial presentation in the city in 2014. The exhibition delves into his recent contemplations on music, painting, and the concept of time, inspired by his experience of attending a live performance by the post-rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor last year.
