Yallay Gallery presents COME ON, LET’S GO!, an exhibition on the diverse practice of contemporary art from China and the Middle East to to mark the culmination of its four-year tenancy in Hong Kong. Featuring the work of Mohammed Elbaz, Rokni Haerizadeh, Khosrow Hassanzedeh, Mustafa Horsan, Halim Al Karim, Li Shurui, MetalKlinik, Abdullah Murad, Mahmudi Al Obaidi, Mouneer al Sharaani, Ebru Uygun, Xu Qu and Fadi Yazigi, the exhibition’s title translates the gallery’s name—Yallay—from Arabic, meaning ‘come on’ or 'let’s go'. Yallay Gallery opened in 2013 under the directive to spotlight the unsung artistic talent from China and the Middle East—regions under-represenested in the global market—from Hong Kong, the de facto centre of Asian–Western art exchange.

​Rokni Haerizadeh
Faun’s Head / In the foliage a green jewel box spotted with gold / In the uncertain foliage covered / With magnificent flowers where sleeps the kiss, / Alive and breaking through the exquisite tapestry, / A terrified faun shows his two eyes / And bites the red flowers with his white teeth: / Stained and reddened like old wine / His lips burst in laughter under the branches. / And when he has fled—like a squirrel— / His laughter still trembles on each leaf / And we can see frightened by a bullfinch / The Golden Kiss of the Wood, as it meditates  2015-16
