Sin Sin Fine Art opened a group exhibition ASSEMBLING On July 22, in which we showcase the works of four unique artists all currently based in Shenzhen. hey come from various countries, ranging from South Africa to the UK, the US and China. And yet they’ve found themselves working in the same city, linked through sometimes serendipitous connections.

In organizing the exhibit, we opted for a theme that would match the “young and fresh” artists themselves. We hope to encourage them with this, their first Hong Kong exhibit, and looks forward to see them continue to grow and develop in the future.
