Throughout time, flowers have stood as symbols of beauty. Their vibrant color and pleasant aroma has made them integral parts of rituals around the world. To see them as bouquets and arrangements in the background is common in many cultures. Floral artist Kirk Cheng pays tribute to flowers by making attention grabbing displays, which take beauty that is normally glanced over and push it to the center of attention. Cheng creates wall gardens of seasonal plants, drawing the symbolism found in the plant’s color or species. Behind the glass of sleek dioramas, they look like perfectly preserved specimens from some other dreamy world.

Aaron Kai "Vices" Exhibition at Above Second Gallery

Hawaiian muralist and artist Aaron Kai is set to unveil his newest exhibition titled “Vices” at Above Second Gallery this weekend. “Vices” takes inspiration from the “vices” of our generation. Often viewed as sinful or immoral to society, vices hold an aspect of elevating sub-cultures, a notion Kai aims to explore with his signature style of wavy post-pop art that embraces whimsical designs and bold colors. The exhibition will appropriately be held in the multicultural, metropolitan setting that is Hong Kong, an indulgent city of both virtues and vices. Kai will be in town for meet-and-greets and will also be offering unique dead stock pieces for sale. If you’re in Hong Kong, be sure to stop by the Aaron Kai “Vices” exhibition’s official opening May 22.

Des portraits faits d'encre, de thé et d'alcool

L'artiste Carne Griffiths présentent une nouvelle série de portraits pour "Invisible Lines", en exposition à la Above Second Gallery d'Hong Kong. Les portraits aux lignes instinctives sont constituées de matériaux habituels tels que l'encre de calligraphie et le crayon mais aussi de substances plus inattendues : le thé aux herbes et l'alcool. 

Bien entendu, il ne s'agit pas de l'alcool de votre armoire à pharmacie mais de celui avec lequel on tchine avec notamment du brandy, de la vodka, du gin et du whisky. L'artiste explique que "l'alcool a un effet étonnant sur l'encre, ravivant la couleur sur le papier en un instant donnant une permanence à l'encre que l'eau ne permet pas".
