Kasing Lung Presents the First Large-Scale Solo Exhibition in Hong Kong. In tandem with Art Basel Hong Kong this week, Belgium-based artist Kasing Lung has unveiled EVERYBODY KNOWS, his first large-scale solo exhibition in the city.
This year, Art Month begins with an exclusive exhibition featuring celebrated contemporary artist Kasing Lung, presented by LANDMARK, BELOWGROUND & HOW2WORK.
Showcasing his first large-scale solo exhibition, “EVERYBODY KNOWS’ is a curation of works inspired by the song of the same name and documents real–world happenings and the growing discourse surrounding them. Within the exhibition, admire the Hong Kong-born and Belgium-based painter’s fantastical vision, showcasing his beloved creation, Labubu, a whimsical character with a toothy grin and dynamic expressions, along with “The Monsters Family,” embodies a larger mythical universe, capturing emotions.

The exhibition is spread across the mall’s Atrium and BELOWGROUND areas, offering three entirely different experiences that invite visitors into the artist’s vibrant and playful world.
At the Atrium, 25 new paintings are displayed in a podium, where its walls are fitted with cut-out silhouettes of Kasing Lung’s iconic characters from “The Monsters” series. In BELOWGROUND, the artist invites visitors to a more intimate setting in the form of a drawing/archival room. The room also serves as a retrospect to Lung’s working process, where almost every available surface has been plastered with an array of his sketches, drafts and prototypal artwork.

A few steps away from this space is a mirror room decked with over 700 figurines the artist has conceived over the years with HOW2WORK. Connecting the two BELOWGROUND exhibiting spaces is a short passage and retail concept, where a selection of collaborative goods by Lung and brands such as Vans and Hidden NY are available for purchase.
‘EVERYBODY KNOWS’ by Kasing Lung is open for public viewing from 26 March 2024 until 17 April 2024.
