On view as of yesterday, Galerie Perrotin is exhibiting Japanese artist Makoto Aida’s first major exhibition in Hong Kong. The show presents some of his most well-known artwork, in addition to experimental new pieces with the loose theme of metamorphosis. There are different interpretations of the world’s changes in recent years, from politics to global warming. At the center of it all is his new sculpture “Space Tripper 1455″ (lovingly called “Comet-chan”). According to Aida, she is an alien relieving herself while passing over Earth, while transforming into a beautiful human girl. In her hands is the Bible which she uses for toilet paper. Aida is no stranger to pushing buttons; some of his most controversial paintings are on display, such as “A Picture of an Air Raid on New York City (War Picture Returns)” and “Jumble of 100 Flowers”, made in various styles.
