Five Gallery Shows to Watch, From Hong Kong to Mallorca
A cluster of exhibitions across Hong Kong, London, New York, and Mallorca is drawing attention this week, with each presentation offering a distinct way of thinking about image, memory, and form. From abstract painting shaped by light to figurative work rooted in personal recollection, the shows reflect the range of current gallery programming while keeping the focus on close looking.
At Leo Gallery in Hong Kong, Dylan Doe’s “The Raft” is on view through June 26. In London, Alison Jacques is presenting “Eileen Agar” through July 25, while Anita Rogers Gallery in New York is showing Mark Webber’s “Keep Moving Forward While Waiting” through June 20. Two additional exhibitions extend the picture further: Angel Baldovino’s “La Luz Viene de Arriba (The Light Comes from Above)” at Cansalas Gallery in Mallorca through August 31, and Jiab Prachakul’s “Welcome Back” at Timothy Taylor Gallery in London through July 11.
Baldovino’s new paintings, made between 2023 and 2026, are organized around light as both subject and force. Color moves across abstract forms that seem to press inward and expand outward at once, creating a sense of depth and direction. The artist treats light as a way of revealing truth, not only in the visible world but in a more spiritual register as well.
Prachakul’s solo exhibition takes a quieter route. “Welcome Back” looks at memory, distance, and presence through scenes of family, friends, and the artist herself in places that feel intimate and lived-in. Many of the works return to Berlin, where Prachakul spent eight years before moving to Vannes, Brittany. After revisiting the city in May 2025, she gathered images with friends that became the basis for the series.
The result is a group of paintings with a calm, inward pull. Rather than announcing themselves loudly, they invite sustained attention, rewarding viewers who linger over the details of place, gesture, and atmosphere. Together, these exhibitions suggest how much contemporary gallery programming still depends on the tension between what is seen and what is remembered.
