The latest group exhibition at Osage Kwun Tong isn't so much a meditation on mathematical impossibility as it is a showcase of often philosophical and deeply personal works by six artists.

They are Carmen Ho and Wong Wai-yin, and the four painters who share the Qiáng Studio in Fo Tan - Ama Huen Ning, Au Hoi-lam, Vivian Poon and Tsang Chui-mei.

A loose extension of their artist-run exhibition "The Perfect Circle", which was presented at Qiáng as part of this January's Fotanian Open Studios, the current group show has a diversity of approaches. Wong is the only new participant of the all-female line-up.

"The English title of the exhibition is simpler in meaning: it brings out the paradoxical relationship between the two words," says Au. "Its Chinese title is closer to the idea and feeling we want to express: it means never-ending and evokes the abundance of possibilities."

Au is exhibiting 12 small-scale paintings on the full stop (the punctuation mark) and 36 digitally manipulated images of "The End" slides from various films.
