DeeKay Zero 10

For Zero 10 at Art Basel Hong Kong 2026, AOTM is thrilled to present a solo presentation by DeeKay. This marked the gallery’s second time participating in Zero 10, following our presentation of Dmitri Cherniak at Art Basel Miami Beach in December 2025.

Drawing from the visual vocabulary of early video games, DeeKay reduces psychological states into legible moving forms; through playful simplification, he insightfully accesses greater human truths. Our presentation was centered around the public debut of his latest 1/1 digital artwork, R U Ok? (2025), an animation that visualizes personal self-reflection and the dichotomies inherent to human experience: external vs. internal, composure vs. vulnerability, light vs. dark, searching vs. weariness. 

Complementing this central anchor artwork, DeeKay also debuted two new animated editions: I WANNA RUN! and I WANNA RUN… (2026). These animations expand upon the aesthetic and philosophical conversation introduced by R U Ok?, working toward a definition of modern humanity rooted in symbiosis and yin/yang. Here, oppositional forces push and pull, ebb and flow, working both against and with each other to comprise the greater, textured whole of human life. When we run towards safety, do we run away from ourselves?
