Similarly, the three artworks by Wilson Shieh — in which the artist reimagines iconic Hong Kong structures such as the HSBC headquarters, the Bank of China Tower and Two IFC as female kung fu warriors, mixing elements from tradition, mythology and urban design — can appear light-years away from Moore's ethos. Lam points out that "Shieh's work shares Moore's interest in the body as a vessel for cultural and symbolic weight," adding that like Moore, both Shieh and Zheng "draw inspiration from their immediate environments".

"In both cases, I wanted to show how Moore's concerns with form, identity, and presence continue to resonate with contemporary practices."

Moore's Visions. More Revisions. is the inaugural exhibition of BCHK's Bookshop Gallery, which opened last week. The Hong Kong outpost of the organization responsible for showcasing British culture across the world plans to share the more than 90 works — by artists who are British or have a British connection — in its collection with the public in the form of curated experiences. Moore, being a British icon and familiar to the local audience through a number of solo exhibitions at the Hong Kong Museum of Art since 1964 — and also seeing that two of his representative sculptures, Oval with Points and Double Oval, are on permanent display in Central — was a natural first choice for Bookshop Gallery's opening show.
