The Mayor Gallery is pleased to present Celebrating 100 Years – Part 3: Asia and Central Europe, the final instalment in its three-part exhibition series marking the gallery’s centenary. This exhibition brings together artists from Eastern Europe and Asia whose practices, often developed under conditions of political constraint, cultural transition, and rapid modernisation, redefined abstraction, conceptualism, and material experimentation in the second half of the twentieth century.
Spanning post-war to contemporary practices, the exhibition highlights how artists working across China, Hungary, Japan, Slovakia forged innovative visual languages that challenged dominant Western narratives of modernism. Artists include Imre Bak, Jiang Dahai, Braco Dimitrijević, Stano Filko, Key Hiraga, Li Huasheng, Li Jin, György Jovánovics, Július Koller, Attila Kovács, Tadaaki Kuwayama, Luo Brothers, Vera Molnár, Aiko Miyawaki.
