From Stardust to Pollen

The project.

Volery Gallery is pleased to present From Stardust to Pollen , the first solo exhibition in the Middle East by Hong Kong artist Ticko Liu . Bringing together paintings developed over the past three years, the exhibition marks a significant expansion of Liu’s practice and introduces his distinctive visual language to audiences in Dubai.

Moving between microscopic observation and cosmic scale, Liu reflects on the individual’s place within the vast continuum of time and amid forces beyond human control. His paintings suggest a world governed by cycles, repetition and déjà vu, where sustained attention transforms familiar surroundings into something intricate, strange and uncanny. For Liu, looking is neither neutral nor passive: once perception becomes attuned to these hidden correspondences, the everyday opens onto an inexhaustible field of discovery.
