'States of Becoming'

Coinciding with Frieze London 2026, HOFA Gallery presents 'States of Becoming', a compelling group exhibition bringing together seventeen international contemporary artists whose practices challenge the boundaries of material, form and perception.

Bringing together seventeen international artists, the exhibition investigates the space between what we see and what we feel. Through intricate processes of construction, layering, fragmentation and transformation, each artist challenges the boundaries of their chosen medium, revealing new dimensions of meaning beneath the visible surface.

The exhibition also introduces Bernardo Peruta and Jane Puylagarde within HOFA's evolving artistic programme, placing their practices in dialogue with established gallery artists and creating fresh connections across disciplines, cultures and artistic languages.

At its heart, 'States of Becoming' asks a simple question: What lies beyond what the eye can see?

After studying law and political science, Jane Puylagarde turned to fashion design and created her own ready-to-wear brand, becoming one of the promising young designers of the 1980s. In the early 90s, on a trip to Mexico, she made a decisive encounter with an Indian ceramist who painted small drops of paint forming circles. The miracle of the drops had just acted on Jane who, for years, appropriated this gesture and reinvented it by developing a unique technique and monochromatic art. Since the 2000s, her works have been noticed in exhibitions in Paris, Barcelona and Geneva. A few years later, a decisive turning point came with social media and brought her visibility on the international scene. Her works were then purchased and promoted all around the world by major collectors, designers and institutions, notably in the United States, Japan and Canada. Today, the independent artist pursues her artistic path in her studios, located in Paris and Formentera, while her work continues to adorn the best places in the private and public collections of her international clientele. Naturally one would expect to find her work shown in many countries around the world as it is about liberty without frontiers. With her latest monumental works, Jane Puylagarde continues to develop her technique and prove that the ultimate challenge for an artist is the power of reinvention.

Art Miami

As Miami’s original and longest running contemporary art fair and second most attended fair globally, Art Miami is consistently recognized as a leading destination for the acquisition of the most important works from the 20th and 21st centuries in collaboration with the world's most respected galleries.

Zak’s practice examines the intelligence of material forms, specifically how matter can register motion, hold memory, and generate structure. Working with fabric as both medium and collaborator, she creates sculptural paintings that investigate the tension between control, release, repetition and variation. Each work begins as a pliable surface, then evolves through folding, expansion and compression into a dense topography.

Anne von Freyburg’s aim is to supersede the tightly controlled boundaries placed on female attributes. With her body of work, that is both visceral and seductive, she manipulates forms with the desire to denounce deeply rooted aversion towards feminine aesthetics and societal observations placed on women throughout history.

Bernardo Peruta (b. 1973, Bergamo, Italy) creates works on micro-perforated aluminium panels, built up through multiple layers of colour in mixed media. From the texture emerge suspended human figures, increasingly blurred, of indefinite identity and gender. For Peruta, the subject is merely a pretext: these presences become universal symbols of humanity, constantly evolving and shaped by time, emotions and society.

The artist does not seek to create a portrait, but a sensation: a state of meditation, a slowing down of time. Painted on a micro-perforated support, the image never reveals itself in full. The eye is called upon to work with its own imagination, to process what is not there. It is the viewer who completes what they see.

Ilhwa Kim, 'A History of Surfaces'

“I create my own version of seeds, gathering all the materials from scratch.
Using my tiny seeds, I bring a lifelike creature into being. It generates unique surfaces that are simultaneously young and old, physical and emotional, geographic and spiritual.
These surfaces begin to quarrel, betray, grow, and create their own history. Once they thicken into layers of wild timelines, an unexpected real-world reality plays out and grows upon the geographic surface. ” - Ilhwa Kim

Li Jie, ‘Emotional Residue’
20 October - 03 November

For his second solo exhibition at HOFA, titled ‘Emotional Residue’, Li Jie presents a body of recent works. He asks how time leaves its mark on us, how memory takes shape in relation to space, and how emotion moves through what we see. In Li Jie’s paintings, recurring groups of people are captured in moments of togetherness. In some works, the depicted crowds are composed of people moving in similar ways who happen to be together by chance, brought together by a place or an event. In other works, human figures momentarily lose themselves in the celebrations around them: the scale of the crowd throws the smallness of the individual into relief, while the collective experience of shared presence brings a sense of release and dissolution.

"Historically, flower painting was dismissed by male critics as a decorative, female craft lacking intellectual depth. In my latest work, I confront this legacy through contemporary reinterpretations of 18th-century floral still-life painter Anne Vallayer-Coster.

Rather than idolising traditional femininity, I look to dissect, subvert, and poke fun at the rigid social structures that historically restricted female artists to this genre. By titling the work Floral Arrangement, I directly challenge the 19th-century bourgeois assumption that women are suited only for order and decoration, rather than invention and creation.

To uncover these clichés, I combine classical floral imagery with seductive materials drawn from fashion - such as fake fur, lace and animal prints. While fashion design uses eroticised dress to experiment with female empowerment, it simultaneously reinforces a new anxiety centred on restrictive body sizes. By mixing these textures with traditional paintings, I challenge historical and modern stereotypes, transforming them into a visual statement of strength that questions the objectification of femininity and female sexuality." - Anne von Freyburg
