Wish You Were Here: Hong Kong Summer Exhibition 2025

Ben Brown Fine Arts is pleased to present Wish You Were Here, a group exhibition that captures the seductive pull of summer: the heat, the haze, the promise of elsewhere. Bringing together works by leading postwar and contemporary artists – both from the gallery’s programme and beyond – the exhibition explores the iconography of travel, the sea, and the rituals of seasonal escape, interrogated with varying degrees of irony, longing, and lucidity.

Wish You Were Here is a meditation on how we construct and consume paradise – through postcards, advertisements, snapshots, and stylised memories. The beach is explored as a mirage of freedom, mythologised in oil paint, photography, and glossy idealism.
