Marking his first solo exhibition in Asia, Peter Howson’s ‘Lacrimae Rerum’ opens at our Hong Kong gallery on 18 November 2022. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This exhibition of new paintings and drawings borrows its name from the Latin phrase from Book 1 of Virgil's ‘Aeneid’, ‘Lacrimae Rerum’, which translates as 'the tears of things', and addresses themes of crisis, violence, collectivity, technology and its impact on contemporary experience. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Images: O Miseras Hominum Mentes Pectora Caeca (Oh Wretched Minds of Men OhTheir Blind Hearts), 2022, oil on canvas, 183 x 244 cm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #PeterHowson #FlowersGalleryHK #LacrimaeRerum #TungStreet #ScottishArtist
