International art gallery David Zwirner has unveiled a seminal exhibition of American minimalist master Dan Flavin, titled “Grids,” at its Hong Kong location.
Spanning the artist’s iconic light-based sculptures, the exhibition highlights Flavin’s radical use of commercially available fluorescent light tubes as a primary artistic medium. Arranged in precise geometric grid configurations across gallery walls and corners, the installations transform surrounding architectural spaces into luminous fields of color. The compositions explore optical color theory and spatial perception, projecting vivid hues ranging from warm daybreak tones to cool industrial gradients.
By turning standard industrial fixtures into immersive environmental art, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience Flavin’s historic contribution to 20th-century Light and Space movements.
