Summary

  • The Rule of Three exhibition is currently on view at otherthings by THE SHOPHOUSE in Hong Kong
  • A multi-sensory exhibition, it features new ceramics by Karena Lam, paintings by Hilarie Hon and music by Olivier Cong

The Rule of Three, presented by otherthings by THE SHOPHOUSE, explores the symbolic and structural significance of the number three in art. Featuring new works by Karena Lam, Hilarie Hon and Olivier Cong, the exhibition examines how triadic principles manifest across different artistic mediums. Each artist contributes a distinct perspective, expressed through ceramics, paintings and music, yet their works intertwine in a unified dialogue, highlighting the interplay between form, material and perception.

Throughout history, the number three holds deep cultural, religious as well as artistic significance. From the Holy Trinity in Christianity to the three unities in classical drama, triadic structures serve as foundational principles of balance and progression. In The Rule of Three, this fundamental principle is reflected in the exhibition’s very structure: it features three artists, exploring three distinct mediums, and engaging three modes of sensory interaction. This triadic framework serves as a foundational element, allowing for both individual artistic expression and a cohesive collective harmony within the presented works.

Karena Lam’s ceramic works embrace the intrinsic qualities of clay, treating it as an active participant in the creative process. Her method is conversational, allowing the material to develop organically, rather than shaping it through strict control. This aligns with the theme of balance, as her pieces reflect a dialogue between artist and medium, intention and organic form. Meanwhile, Hilarie Hon’s vibrant canvases delve into the complexities of color and abstraction that directly challenge viewers to navigate the nuances of perception. Like Lam, Hon emphasizes responsiveness to her medium, engaging in an ongoing exchange with the imagery she creates.

Olivier Cong’s contributions introduce a vital auditory dimension to the exhibition. His compositions create “made-up folklores” that accompany the totemic sculptures, with urban and folk-inspired melodies complementing Lam’s moon jars. Meanwhile, Cong’s rhythmic, emotive soundscapes mirror the contrast of noise and silence, akin to the invisible crowds juxtaposed with the solitary traveler figures in Hon’s works.

The Rule of Three is currently on view by appointment until June 29, 2025 at otherthings by THE SHOPHOUSE.
