Madsaki, one of many Japanese artists mentored by Takashi Murakami, is opening a solo exhibition at Perrotin. The pair’s influence on each other can clearly be seen in their work: Murakami has adopted spray-painting, which is Madsaki's preferred medium, and Madsaki adorns some of his canvases with Murakami-style flowers.

Madsaki’s Hong Kong exhibition features paintings of iconic moments from the city’s cinematic history, pulling scenes from In the Mood for Love, Infernal Affairs, Chungking Express, Kung Fu Hustle, and more.

July 17 to August 17. Perrotin, 17/F, 50 Connaught Rd Central, Central. perrotin.com

This summer, Asia Society is launching a new arts and culture programme titled Hidden Forests, which is focused on celebrating Hong Kong’s ecology and biodiversity. The idea for the project was sparked after Typhoon Mangkhut last year, which felled countless trees around the city and led Asia Society’s team to reflect on the greenery that we sometimes overlook in day-to-day life.

July 6 to September 8. Asia Society Hong Kong Centre, 9 Justice Dr, Admiralty. asiasociety.org

Malaysian-born, London-based artist Mandy El-Sayegh’s first solo exhibition in Asia, titled Dispersal, features drawings, paintings, sculptures and an installation.

Using written materials, scientific and biological diagrams and imagery from pop culture, El-Sayegh’s art imaginatively illustrates the way in which the human psyche captures, retains and interprets information from our environment and transforms it into personal thoughts and memories.

Continuing on from her 2005 and 2016 exhibitions of the same name, Korean artist MeeNa Park is opening her latest Scream exhibition at Over The Influence this month.

Starting with her family’s history, artist Sim Chi Yin’s exhibition at Hanart TZ tells the story of the 12-year conflict in Singapore between the British Colonial government and the Malayan resistance forces from 1948 to 1960.

Accompanying this exhibition of photography, film, sound, text, archival material and performative readings will be a series of scholarly talks around the historical ideas and ideals of the time and their resonance today.
