Figuration Dances with Abstraction: Li Hei Di Joins Pace’s Boldest Moves

A fresh current is sweeping through the art world as Pace Gallery welcomes Li Hei Di, now its youngest artist, to a roster famed for shaping contemporary taste. Born in 1997, Li crafts paintings where the boundaries between the real and the abstract blur, delving into the complexities of embodiment, intimacy, and the shifting sense of place. Their canvases pulse with translucent figures and layered colors, inviting viewers to navigate stories of gender and desire that refuse easy categorization. This isn’t just a solo leap—Li joins a wave of young artists recently embraced by global mega-galleries, signaling a generational shift in who gets to define what’s next. With a debut at Art Basel Miami Beach and a solo show set for Hong Kong, Li’s work is poised to spark conversations across continents. In the interplay of abstraction and identity, a new visual language is quietly rewriting the rules. #ContemporaryArt #LiHeiDi #PaceGallery #Culture

Alicja Kwade Bends Reality and Time in the Halls of Pace Gallery

Alicja Kwade’s sculptures rarely play by the rules—her art transforms everyday materials into riddles about the universe. When she installed planet-like stones atop the Metropolitan Museum of Art, she conjured the cosmos right above Manhattan’s bustle, inviting viewers to question what’s real and what’s imagined. Her 2019 piece, Against the Run, took the familiar face of a clock and made it uncanny: while the hands moved as expected, the numbers themselves jerked sideways, poking at the arbitrary systems we use to measure time. This playful disruption is a hallmark of Kwade’s practice, which draws on both scientific curiosity and philosophical inquiry. Now joining Pace Gallery’s global roster, Kwade continues to blur the lines between perception and reality, inviting audiences to look twice at the world—and maybe even at time itself. In her hands, the ordinary becomes a portal to the extraordinary. #AlicjaKwade #ContemporaryArt #PaceGallery #Culture
