During Art Basel Hong Kong 2026, which runs March 27 to 29 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the city’s galleries will enter their busiest week of the year. Across the island, global powerhouses and long-standing Asian galleries will stage exhibitions for an international crowd.
Many of these spaces are within walking distance of each other in Hong Kong’s Central neighborhood. The vertical tower H Queen’s houses Hauser & Wirth. White Cube and MASSIMODECARLO are nearby, as are long-standing spaces such as Pearl Lam and 10 Chancery Lane, fixtures of the city’s contemporary art scene since the early 2000s. Alisan Fine Arts, founded in the 1980s and one of Hong Kong’s longest-standing contemporary galleries, is also here, with Double Q Gallery just a short distance away in Sheung Wan.
“As we head toward Art Basel Hong Kong, the city is coming alive with exhibitions that show just how dynamic this global hub in Asia truly is,” Angelle Siyang-Le, director of Art Basel Hong Kong, told Artsy. “Together, these shows offer essential context for the artists, ideas, and conversations that will animate the fair this year.”
Here are seven gallery shows worth seeing right now.
Luca Sára Rózsa
“Last Trip to the Amazon”
Double Q Gallery
Through May 9
A childhood journey to the Amazon rainforest inspired Hungarian painter Luca Sára Rózsa’s new series of figurative paintings. The works, which draw on photographs taken during a family trip in 2004, depict lush tropical landscapes inhabited by semi-nude human figures. Rózsa’s paintings often draw from mythological and biblical symbolism while exploring humanity’s place within nature. At times, they suggest a return to more instinctive, animal-like states. Revisiting the journey years later, the artist connects personal memory with broader concerns about ecological fragility and the changing relationship between humans and the natural world. The paintings are spread across both floors of the gallery and accompanied by ceramics and embroideries that extend the narrative into installation
