Hsiao Chin Archives - The Light of Hope Exhibition

7 November - 31 December 2025 Hong Kong

Overview

3812 Gallery is honoured to announce the launch of the Hsiao Chin Archives, a significant milestone in the legacy of Hsiao Chin, the revered post-war Chinese abstract master.

The vision of the Hsiao Chin Archives is to establish a leading global resource for understanding and celebrating Hsiao Chin's contributions to abstract art, fostering a deeper appreciation for his unique blend of Eastern philosophy and Western artistic practices. The Archives will focus on preserving, documenting, researching, and promoting Hsiao Chin’s artistic heritage, achieving this through comprehensive documentation of his works, supporting scholarly research, and producing a definitive catalogue raisonné of his oeuvre.

As we embark on this new chapter, 3812 Gallery Hong Kong proudly presents the inaugural exhibition - The Light of Hope - which offers a profound exploration of the pivotal years in Hsiao Chin's artistic journey, focusing on his Spanish period (1956-1959). This era laid the groundwork for his subsequent endeavours and is a defining moment in the evolution of modern Chinese art.

Special thanks to Hsiao Chin Art Foundation for providing and authorising the use of archival materials related to Hsiao Chin by the Hsiao Chin Archives and 3812 Gallery.
