Vapors

Perrotin is pleased to present Vapors, an exhibition of paintings by British-American artist Emma Webster, marking her solo debut in Hong Kong. It opens on Tuesday, March 25, 2025. The 11 canvases, painted during the Los Angeles fires this January, show ethereal, empty landscapes imbued with an unsettling, atmospheric calm. Some paintings suggest the arrival of unfathomable calamity, while others impart the cool surrender of catastrophic aftermath. In these works, Webster invents a wholly new genre of painting that blurs the boundaries between plein-air landscape, still-life, and virtual reality.
