Art Basel Hong Kong 2025

Dan Zhu, solo  
Booth 1C44, Discoveries
27–30 March 2025

This March, Tabula Rasa Gallery returns to Art Basel Hong Kong with a solo presentation of artist Dan ZHU in Discoveries Section, Booth 1C44. This solo presentation showcases Zhu's versatility and philosophical inquiries through a rich collection of works ranging from intricate paper pieces to expansive canvases, both on the walls and on the floor, with additional floor mural to create a highly immersive experience. The ensemble can be read as an imagined hunting ground, an allegory for finding artistic inspiration.
