Art is never static. Neither is the way we experience it. Across seventeen international contemporary practices, States of Becoming explores how materials evolve, forms take on new meanings, and perception shifts through the act of looking. From experimentation to transformation, the exhibition invites visitors to reconsider the relationship between what an artwork is and what it can become. States of Becoming | Material, Perception and the Art of Transformation On view 15–19 OCT HOFA Gallery, London

Now open at HOFA London. Staged in dialogue with Frieze London 2026, States of Becoming brings together seventeen international contemporary artists exploring the possibilities of material, form and perception. An exploration of transformation, where familiar boundaries are challenged, reimagined and reshaped. States of Becoming | Material, Perception and the Art of Transformation 15–19 October 2026 HOFA Gallery, London

Don’t miss out on the new solo show by Ilhwa Kim at HOFA London. What happens when a surface becomes more than something we see? In A History of Surfaces: Violation, Adaptation and Sudden Growth, Ilhwa Kim challenges our perception of depth, movement and space, inviting viewers to discover something new with every change in perspective. Only 4 days remain to experience the exhibition in person. On view until 14 October 2026 HOFA London

Thousands of seeds. One evolving surface. Ilhwa Kim transforms hand-dyed Hanji paper into intricate fields of colour, texture and form, building each work from thousands of individually crafted seed units. Through accumulation and repetition, these small elements grow into complex surfaces that blur the boundaries between painting and sculpture. Now on view at HOFA London, A History of Surfaces: Violation, Adaptation and Sudden Growth explores a world shaped by transformation, adaptation and continuous change. 01–14 October 2026 HOFA London

Jade Ching-yuk Ng — An Odyssey of the Kaleidoscopic Lovers Through surreal forms and symbolic imagery, Ng explores the fragile space between intimacy and separation, self and other, reality and imagination. The butterfly-like composition heightens this sense of transformation, while the figures resist a fixed reading of identity or relationship, a recurring concern throughout the artist’s practice. Painted in oil on canvas, the work will form part of HOFA’s presentation at Untitled Art Houston. Untitled Art Houston 2–4 October 2026 George R. Brown Convention Center

A closer look at Li Jie. In From to Elsewhere, layers of oil form a shifting visual language, moving between figuration and abstraction, perception and memory. Li Jie’s practice continually explores the space between the recognisable and the imagined. This September, his work comes to New York as part of HOFA’s presentation at The Armory Show.

This autumn, HOFA crosses America’s art capitals. New York → Houston → Miami.

Upcoming: The Armory Show A cornerstone of New York’s cultural landscape since 1994, The Armory Show opens New York’s fall art season by bringing the world’s leading international contemporary and modern art galleries to the Javits Center each year. In 2023, The Armory Show was acquired by Frieze, one of the world’s leading organizations for modern and contemporary art. Through energetic brushwork and palette knife textures, Li Jie’s works portray faceless human figures in moments of togetherness, their forms shifting between abstraction and figuration depending on the viewer’s perspective. Suspended in a dreamlike space, these figures highlight the tension between materiality and ephemerality, individuality and collectivity, and reality and imagination. The Armory Show Javits Center, New York 24–27 September 2026 – at New York, USA

HOFA highlights: Zhuang Hong Yi Born in Sichuan in 1962, Zhuang studied at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute before moving to the Netherlands in 1992 and continuing his education at the Minerva Art Academy. His practice has developed between China and Europe, bringing traditional Chinese materials and philosophies into dialogue with the colour and formal experimentation of Western abstraction. At the centre of his work is the flower: a symbol of prosperity, renewal, beauty and impermanence across cultures. Yet Zhuang rarely depicts a botanical specimen. Each folded flower becomes a unit within a larger field. Repetition becomes rhythm; rhythm becomes landscape. Composed from thousands of hand-folded and painted pieces of rice paper, the works shift in colour, depth and atmosphere as the viewer moves around them. They are paintings that behave like sculptures, and sculptures activated by light. The fold is Zhuang’s organising principle: a modest gesture through which paper becomes volume, colour becomes movement and the image becomes an event. Fragile material takes on an architectural presence. A flower becomes a field. A surface appears to breathe.

'The Glitched Sublime', Maja Petrić Presented during SXSW London 2026, Specimens of Time: The Glitched Sublime enters into conversation with the festival's focus on artificial intelligence, automation, and the future of human experience. In contrast to much of today's generative AI culture, the exhibition proposes a different trajectory for technology, one centred on ecological memory, embodied experience, and reconnection with the living world. Alongside the exhibition, Petrić will present Art, Tech & Nature: The Glitched Sublime at SXSW London on Wednesday, 3 June, from 11:40 to 12:10 at Protein Studios (Stage 2). She will also appear on the panel Worldbuilding for the Senses: When Art Meets Experience Meets Brand on Thursday, 4 June, from 16:10 to 16:50 at Truman Brewery (Truman Stage 1). 02 - 11 June Private View Opening: 02 June, 6 - 9 PM HOFA Gallery London
