10 Chancery Lane Gallery presents “WHISPER”, a group exhibition uniting ten artists — Chung Sanghwa, Ho Fan, Huang Rui, Lewis Lee, Eilly Li, Laurent Martin “Lo”, Christine Nguyen, Pan Jian, Wang Keping, and John Young. Conceived as an oasis of calm in a frenetic world, 

“WHISPER” creates an immersive environment where tranquility, reflection, and connection quietly unfold. Each participating artist interprets serenity in distinct ways, using varied media to explore inner stillness and the shared harmony between humans and nature.

 Nature as Meditation Christine Nguyen, Ho Fan, Pan Jian, and Wang Keping channel their search for stillness through the natural world. 

Vietnamese-American artist Christine Nguyen merges science, nature, and cosmic imagination in her luminous photo-based works.

 Her layered imagery envisions the ocean’s depths as extensions of the cosmos — meditative, fluid, and interconnected. Hong Kong master Ho Fan, renowned for his mid-20th-century photographs of the city, captures poetic dialogues between man and nature. In his iconic sailboat image, the vessel becomes both metaphor and memory — a fleeting whisper between sea and sky. 

Chinese painter Pan Jian evokes emotional landscapes through shadowy forests and waterscapes. His swirling brushwork and shifting light suggest the pulse of inner emotion — the quiet rhythm between melancholy and renewal. For sculptor Wang Keping, the tree itself is collaborator and muse.

 His tactile wooden forms preserve the organic essence of the material, revealing strength and vulnerability in equal measure — a meditation on creation as communion. Minimalism and Contemplation Korean Dansaekhwa pioneer Chung Sanghwa and French artist Laurent Martin “Lo” approach silence through restraint and material clarity. 

Chung’s methodical repetition and earthy tones create a meditative experience of painting-as-practice — a slow ritual of mindfulness through form and texture. 

Laurent Martin “Lo” explores the sensual geometry of bamboo, transforming its natural balance and flexibility into sculptural poetry suspended in air. Abstraction as Resonance For Huang Rui and John Young, abstraction becomes a whisper between sound and silence. 

Huang Rui’s works draw on Taoist philosophy and the emotive resonance of music, notably Dvořák’s Rusalka, to reflect on impermanence and harmony within chaos. Hong Kong–Australian artist John Young explores memory and belonging through deep, melancholic hues. 

His painterly abstractions, imbued with environmental and emotional undertones, serve as meditations on identity and the fragility of nature. 

Emerging Voices Young Hong Kong artists Eilly Li and Lewis Lee bring a contemporary softness to the exhibition.

 Eilly Li captures fleeting emotions and transient light through photography-inspired oil paintings, where literary ambiguity and emotional subtlety intertwine. Lewis Lee’s forthcoming work, created especially for WHISPER, will debut on opening day — a fresh interpretation of stillness and dialogue. 

A Sanctuary for Reflection More than an exhibition, “WHISPER” offers a contemplative refuge — a moment of pause within the relentless rhythm of modern life.

 Through the diverse visions of ten artists, visitors are invited to rediscover calm, connection, and the quiet resonance between self and world.
