Two galleries will be dedicated to Hong Kong's art landscape: Hong Kong Contemporary Art and the New Ink art movements. These will feature immersive, site-specific installations developed in collaboration with renowned Hong Kong artists exclusively for the Fair, with details to be announced soon. Visitors can expect an accessible, interactive, and photogenic experience that redefines how art is explored and enjoyed.

International Art Movements Presented in a Bold New Way

The "Pop It!" gallery, inspired by the Neo-Pop movement, is an installation delightfully decorated with reflective bubble shapes in different sizes. A jelly balloon dog confection is retrieved from a giant claw machine that dominates the space. "Roll With It", inspired by Modernism, features colour block light boxes and panels. An attendant serves guests with a colourful piece of savoury and sweet edible ribbon – available in an assortment of block colours.

Expressionism is the inspiration for "Drip", featuring floor and walls decorated in the expressionist style and a drink experience offering flavoured drinks through coloured tubes, which are served to visitors. "Go Bananas!" represents the Conceptual Art movement through a playful display of replica fruits taped to the wall. Extending the sensory journey, a delicious miniature edible banana taped to a board is offered for visitors to take.

The Surrealism movement is represented in "Feast Your Eyes", with a fully laid table inside a veil of curtains. Visitors put their heads behind the veil to discover the vivid setting. A tin of edible pearls offers an unexpected Dali-esque element of surprise. "Blue-tiful" is an optical illusion focused on perspective that highlights Optical Illusion Artand plays with the shape of an egg to form a perfect round shape within an immersive, blue-lit backdrop. In this gallery, visitor will receive an 'Op-art egg', an egg-shaped puff pastry filled with egg custard, presented in a classic egg carton, extending the Optical Illusion Art experience into a perfect multi-sensory indulgence.

The Impressionism movement is showcased in "Bloomin' Marvellous", an installation in two parts. First, a garden of giant flowers followed by a floral animation gallery with bean bags. 'Focaccia flowers' are blooming throughout the gallery, each delicate paper blossom cradling a piece of focaccia at its centre, filling the space with the rich aroma of olive oil and rosemary that entices every visitor to take a bite. A study in Spatialism is presented in "Cabinet of Curiosities", where guests are invited to pick a ball from a colourful central display before opening a matching cabinet. Inside, a chocolate bonbon awaits – igniting the taste buds in a sweet cocoon.
