WKM Gallery

Founded by William Kayne Mukai in 2023, WKM Gallery is a vibrant and innovative art space in Hong Kong.

With a unique background combining French and Japanese heritage, William is committed to fostering cultural connections and promoting artists globally. The gallery serves as a platform for both emerging and established artists, encouraging creativity and cultural exchange. Initially focusing on connecting Japan and Hong Kong, William now aims to weave art from around the world into the dynamic Hon

g Kong art scene. The design of the gallery seamlessly merges Japanese architectural elements with the industrial ambiance of Wong Chuk Hang. Embracing the concept of "ma" (間), which represents the space between elements and serves as a threshold between viewer and art, the gallery aspires to provide viewers with a richer aesthetic experience and a personal connection with the artwork.

Now on view at WKM Gallery, My tender passion, tender patience presents a wide-ranging overview of Soh Souen’s ongoing enquiries into life through painting, performance and video.

At the centre of the exhibition is Again and again, an evolving series of pastel works created during moments of respite and anguish. The works emerge through an attentiveness to touch, as the artist’s skin meets the ‘skin’ of the painted surface, painting becomes a reciprocal exchange rather than a one-directional act.

The exhibition also includes two paintings from A Whole Painting Filled With Holes, whose pointillist close-ups of bodily fragments appear like vivid yet incomplete memories. Alongside these works, Eggsercise and N: 20.04.26-04.05.26 extend Souen’s exploration of vulnerability, protection, memory and human connection through moving image.

Before ‘BETWEEN’ opened at WKM Gallery, Iori Nagashima developed the new body of work during his residency at SIDE SPACE. The Open Studio on 7 May invited visitors into his working environment, where the works were still taking shape in real time. The exhibition’s paintings continue that sense of encounter, moving between everyday objects, urban fragments, photographs, videos, visual memory, and the layered surfaces of Hong Kong.

A journey through five decades of urban transformation. Greg Girard’s first-ever career survey is currently on view at The Polygon Gallery in Vancouver. Having presented his work in Hong Kong earlier this year, it is a privilege to see his tenacious documentation brought together in this comprehensive retrospective, tracing his lens across cities and decades from the early 1970s to the present day. The exhibition presents a cinematic and intimate record of places caught between eras; a masterful tribute to an artist who has continually captured the vulnerability and vitality of the modern metropolis.

In Iori Nagashima’s ‘BETWEEN’, everyday objects and urban fragments become quietly charged with presence. Clothes, shoes, a clock, a dragon fruit, ladders and other familiar forms appear as signs of use, memory, and a specific time. Created following the artist’s extended residency at SIDE SPACE, the exhibition reflects on how relationships become newly visible when one’s environment changes.

Born in Osaka in 1997 and based in Tokyo, Iori Nagashima received his BA in Oil Painting from Musashino Art University in 2020. His practice observes the unconscious beauty hidden within everyday life, drawing out moments of stillness from the bustle of the city and the routines of those around him. Working through oil painting while also drawing on photography, video, and personal visual memory, he reconstructs fragments of daily life into images that seem to hover between the ordinary and the extraordinary, the present and the past.

Opening this Saturday, BETWEEN, is the artist’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong and presents new oil paintings developed following his extended residency at SIDE SPACE. These Open Studio photographs offer a glimpse of the works while they were still taking shape before moving into the gallery.

BETWEEN opens on 6 June 2026, with an Opening Reception from 4 - 8 pm in the presence of the artist.

Two weeks left to see ‘HKG-TYO 1974-2023’ before it closes on 23 May 2026.

Greg Girard spent over four decades photographing Hong Kong and Tokyo during some of their most transformative years. Arriving in Hong Kong at eighteen, he found himself in cities that were changing faster than anyone could document, walking the streets at night with no particular agenda, just a camera and a genuine curiosity about the world in front of him.

These images are quiet, intimate, and surprisingly hard to forget. The back alleys, the late-night bars, the faces of people going about their lives in places that no longer exist. There is no nostalgia being performed here, only an honest record of what two extraordinary cities looked and felt like at a particular moment in time.
