Wegener, who has previously lived in Shanghai, Perth, as well as her native Ukraine, appears settled in the Southside location and describes a community of galleries in Wong Chuk Hang, consisting of many former tenants of spaces in Central, who have fled the much higher per square footage rents for slightly less high per square footage rents.

Today, Wegener’s showing a collection of Ukrainian artists in a group show, the UA Salon, (12 February–15 May 2026), of which the Hong Kong-based multidisciplinary artist and curator is a part.

The exhibition featured work from her ‘Derealization’ series, which explores the concept of perceptual disconnection and experiences of unreality. Through vibrant colour palettes and innovative painting techniques, Wegener captures the phenomenon of how we navigate multiple realities simultaneously, translating her affinity with the abnormal and surreal into powerful visual narratives.

“I believe that we live in a world full of different realities, but we can’t see all of them at the same time. My work is about trying to capture this phenomenon that is happening to me too and interpret this real-unreal world through the colour vibrations,” she says.

Once seen, the organic, coral-resembling forms in neon and other hues are immediately recognisable as Wegeners; and she confesses to have developed and stuck by this style, “since she was a young girl.”
