THESE ARE PAINTINGS

These Are Paintings

Touch Gallery is thrilled to announce a group exhibition with five exceptional contemporary artists, Okumura Akifumi, Grace Mak, Steven Tang, Lin Hao-Bai and Wang Hao-Zhun.


These five skilled artists capture scenes with masterful technical precision, redefining what it means to recreate reality on canvas.

Realism is never the end, but just the beginning of an unanswerable question.


When Plato's "theory of mimesis" begins to conflict with the virtual realities created from the digital age, and as AI learns to replicate our physical world, we can’t help but ask: Why do artists still continue to approach realism through the labor of hand, eye, and soul?


The answer lies in that liminal space between precision and imperfection, between objective and subjective, between our world and the artist’s vision. In Okumura Akifumi’s works, traditional

Japanese painting techniques capture the relationship between animals, humans and nature. Lin Hao-Bai’s contemplations of urban light and shadow beautifully depict architecture and still life.

Wang Hao-Zhun’s paintings of Hong Kong dollars reveal a deeper critique on money and culture.


Hong Kong artist Steven Tang pushes the limits of colored pencils, elevating humble food with hyperrealistic drawings. Grace Mak, meanwhile, captures objects with a microscopic precision, blurring reality and fiction.


These five artists from Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, each with a unique artistic style, respond to the same eternal question: In a world where technology can replicate reality, for an artist, what is the meaning of "truth”? We invite you into this exhibition space — wander among these philosophical reveries, witness the moment when familiar objects become strange, and seek the most fundamental power of art: its existence, its essence, its truth.
