The Arts Intel Report

House of the Rising Light

July 30 – Sept 18, 2020
35 Connaught St, St George's Fields, London W2 2AZ, UK

Asian art is rooted in visions and dreams. Manga and anime drawings, for instance, see the future through adolescent eyes. In the past six months the world has changed a great deal, and the Asian artists gathered here are inspired as much by German Expressionism and French Surrealism as by their own cultural traditions. Glowing elephants fly in a night sky. There’s a three-eyed geisha, a magical lavender goddess, and girls of fairylike refinement. The future seems to be female. This otherworldly exhibition spans both London and Rome galleries. —E.C.

Simultaneously on view at the Rome gallery.
