CONCRETE COLOUR
EXHIBITION | 17 SEPTEMBER 2025 - 18 OCTOBER 2025
ORA-ORA PRESENTS CONCRETE COLOUR, THE THIRD SOLO EXHIBITION BY HONG KONG-BASED ARTIST SOPHIE CHEUNG. EXPLORING MEMORY AND FEELINGS OF LOSS, CHEUNG HARNESSES THE GRADUAL EROSION OF FAMILIAR SIGHTS IN A QUEST TO FIND THE PERMANENT LANDMARKS OF BELONGING.
CONCRETE COLOUR INTRODUCES THE NEW CMYK SERIES AND FURTHER DEVELOPS HER ERASING NEWS SERIES. IN THE FORMER, CHEUNG REINTERPRETS THE INDUSTRIAL PRINTING PROCESS THROUGH AN ASIAN LENS, MANIPULATING PRINTER INK ON PLASTIC-COATED PAPER TO PRODUCE VIBRANT, TENSION-FILLED COMPOSITIONS THAT ECHO HONG KONG’S HYBRID CULTURAL SPIRIT. IN THE ERASING NEWS SERIES, THE ARTIST SUBTRACTS NEWSPRINT THROUGH THE ACT OF ERASING, CREATING TEXTURED CONTEMPLATIONS. ANCHORED IN SPECIFIC HONG KONG LOCATIONS, THEY ADDRESS UNIVERSAL THEMES OF TIME, RESILIENCE, AND REBIRTH.
