BIOGRAPHY Hilarie HON (b.1994, Hong Kong) graduated with a BA (Hons) in Visual Arts from the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University in 2016. Specializing in oil painting, she approaches her work with deep personal introspection. Her paintings often depict intense and surreally unsettling scenes, reflecting her inner world while evoking emotions and a profound sense of alienation. Hon has participated in both solo and group exhibitions organized by Gallery EXIT in Hong Kong. Her solo exhibitions include ‘Shaping Surface into Light’ (2025), ‘Sunlight Murmur’ (2023), ‘Yesterday's Brightness’ (2020), ‘The Daily Disappearance of the Sun’ (2018), and ‘BLOOMY GLOOMY BOOM’ (2017). Group exhibitions with the gallery include ‘Art Brussels’ (2025), ‘Art Collaboration Kyoto 2021’ (Gallery EXIT / Satoko Oe Contemporary, Japan, 2021) and ‘Shek-O Sublime’ (2019). Other recent group exhibitions include ‘The Rule of Three’ (otherthings by THE SHOPHOUSE, 2025), ‘31 Women Artists Hong Kong I’ (10 Chancery Lane, Hong Kong, 2022), ‘In Search of Absence’ (Korean Cultural Center Hong Kong, 2021), and ‘Stories We Tell To Scare Ourselves With’ (MOCA Taipei, Taiwan, 2019). The artist currently lives and works in Hong Kong.
