Augusta is presenting a solo show by the artist Hong Wai from October 2nd to 31st. For the occasion, the gallery is setting up in the heart of Paris, on Rue Domat, just a few steps away from Notre-Dame Cathedral.

The artist, of Chinese origin, known for her calligraphy works and her suspended lace landscapes, is presenting in October artworks never seen before in France.

You will be able to appreciate, among others, works from the Moonlight series, where the artist unfolds nocturnal landscapes in Chinese ink, with vegetation taking center stage.

Under the moonlight, these forms come alive in a silent theater, somewhere between mystery and contemplation.
