Dennis Scholl: Like a Thief in the Night
Dennis Scholl
29 November 2025 - 28 February 2026
PODIUM is proud to present ‘Like a Thief in the Night’, Berlin-based artist Dennis Scholl’s first solo exhibition in Asia and with the gallery. Known for his lush and phantasmagorical paintings and drawings, Scholl has been creating enigmatic worldviews where human and non-human beings oscillate between brutality and beauty, violence and tenderness. In this ambitious body of work, spanning 16 new paintings and a collection of drawings, the artist draws upon the pastoral as both a locus of sentimentality and a theatre of profound spiritual allegory. Centring on the recurring image of the shepherd—a guide of flocks—Scholl reimagines it as a sacred figure that commands cultivation and sacrifice across human and non-human life. Through his enchanting visual language and storytelling, Scholl invites the viewers to inhabit the crux of tension between comfort and foreboding, belonging and exile, nurture and disruption; reminding one that vigilance is not merely a stance of fear but also of attention and tenderness—that to live in anticipation of the unknown is to remain awake to care for oneself.
The exhibition opens on 29 November 2025 (Saturday) from 2 to 7 pm and is on view until 28 February 2026 (Saturday).

Amour Aquatique
Fran Chang, Omyo Cho, Soyoung Chung, Minouk Lim, Luis Xertu
21 March - 30 May 2026
Foretold by classical feng shui and Asian astrology, this new era marks a cosmic shift from the element of Earth to Fire—symbols of volatility and upheaval—signaling an urgent call to restore water as a vital counterbalance: an agent of care, adaptability, and healing. In this spirit, during Hong Kong Arts Month, PODIUM is delighted to present 'Amour Aquatique'—a group exhibition that pulses with the tensions of presence and absence, attachment and release, drawing viewers into the ebb and flow of aquatic love—at once universal and deeply intimate. Drifting through the protean forms of water as metaphors for the fluidity of love, grief, nostalgia, and memory, this exhibition brings together five artists, including Fran Chang, Omyo Cho, Soyoung Chung, Minouk Lim, and Luis Xertu, whose works are inspired by the continuous cycles of looping, evaporating, pooling, eroding, and flowing, wading into the liminal spaces where personal and political waters entangle.
The exhibition opens on 21 March (Sat) from 2 to 7 PM and is on view till 30 May (Sat).
