AISHO Hong Kong is delighted to present “No Such Person”, on viewing from Aug 1 to Aug 30, 2025. In this compelling group exhibition, three international artists - Akira Inaba, Henrik Godsk and Sablo Mikawa - present their distinctive interpretations of the human figure, challenging our conventional understanding of portraiture.

The exhibition title "No Such Person" plays with the familiar bureaucratic phrase often encountered in official searches and postal system. In this digital age, this declaration of non-existence raises intriguing questions: What defines a person's presence? Can a portrait capture the true essence of an individual? When does representation become abstraction, and does authenticity lie in literal depiction?

Through diverse mediums and cultural perspectives, these artists explore the elusive nature of human identity. Their works navigate the space between representation and abstraction, recognition and anonymity. Japanese artist Sablo Mikawa's comic style paintings disturb our expectations of traditional portraiture, while Danish artist Henrik Godsk's geometric figures reduce human forms to their essential elements. Meanwhile, Akira Inaba's sculptures translate the human presence into three-dimensional poetry.

Like a search yielding "No Such Person," these works suggest that the most profound portraits might be those that acknowledge the impossibility of fully capturing human identity. Each artist, in their unique way, creates figures that exist in a liminal space - present yet unidentifiable, familiar yet strange, documented yet impossible to catalogue. These works suggest that perhaps the most authentic portraits are those that dare to move beyond literal representation.
