New Zealand-born, Los Angeles-based artist Emma McIntyre presents 'Among My Swan', her first solo show in Asia. Known for vivid, chromatic abstractions, McIntyre's paintings blend oils with unconventional materials such as oxidised iron to create deeply textured, transformative works. This series explores the alchemical possibilities of painting, drawing connections between the artist's instincts, the forces of nature and art history. Each piece is part of an evolving network of discovery, reflecting her protean and experimental approach to the medium.

White Cube presents the first Asian exhibition of works by the late American painter affiliated with the second-generation abstract expressionist movement. 'Lynne Drexler: The Seventies' features never-before-seen chromatic landscapes created during a transformative decade in her career. Influenced by impressionism, fauvism and classical music, Drexler's tessellated compositions radiate kinetic energy and reflect her deep connection to the natural world. This exhibition follows her solo show at White Cube's Mason's Yard in London, marking a continuation of the gallery's representation of her archive.
