Square Illusion: Colour and Black - Alexander James Exhibition

An Exploration of Geometry and Emotion

We are pleased to invite you to the Square Illusion: Colour and Black exhibition, featuring the latest works by acclaimed British multimedia artist Alexander James. This profound exhibition, hosted at the prestigious PHILLIPS Asia, serves as a testament to the artist's ongoing fascination with the geometry of the square.

By deconstructing the square into a site of fragmentation, repetition, and structure, Alexander James challenges viewers to reconsider their perception of space and color. The collection moves between vibrant, saturated hues and the stark, grounding influence of black, creating a visual dialogue that is both intellectually stimulating and aesthetically arresting.

Exhibition Details

The exhibition is open to the public from April 27, 2026, to May 31, 2026. Visitors are encouraged to visit the PHILLIPS Asia Headquarters at the West Kowloon Cultural District to experience these pieces in person. Admission is free, offering a unique opportunity for both art enthusiasts and casual visitors to engage with contemporary multimedia art in a world-class environment.

A Dialogue of Colour and Black

In this series, James utilizes his signature technique to layer light, texture, and form. The juxtaposition of intense chromatic expressions against deep, void-like blacks creates a sense of infinite possibility. As James himself explores, the square is not merely a shape—it is a language. By iterating these forms, the artist invites us to find rhythm in repetition and meaning in the void. Whether you are a collector or a student of contemporary art, this exhibition at Phillips offers a rare glimpse into a disciplined yet emotive creative process.
