For many of Hong Kong’s arts and design students it’s graduation time, and that means time to show the fruits of their labours in their graduation exhibitions. For art lovers it’s an opportunity to get a preview of Hong Kong’s next wave of creative talent. The Works went out to look at three of this year’s grad shows.
Drinking milk tea or yin-yang tea and coffee mixed and eating pineapple buns or egg tarts in a dai pai dong are part of the food culture of many Hongkongers. With increasing bureaucracy and redevelopment the dai pai dongs are getting fewer and farther between, but graphic designer and illustrator Patrick Lui still finds them a good space to bring his comics closer to the public.
In different ways, dots have played a big part in the art of Roy Lichtenstein, Damien Hirst and Yayoi Kusama. For Kusama in particular they are a trademark. For her solo exhibition “Super Dots” local artist Eastman Cheng has also drawn inspiration from them, embroidering and painting hundreds and thousands of dots, with which she interweaves history, meanings and emotion.
On 14th May, the world lost one of the greats. Blues legend BB King. For more than six decades, King enthralled audiences with his voice and the sounds of the instrument he dubbed Lucille, who was in fact more than one guitar. He brought electric blues from Mississippi to the world, won 15 Grammy Awards, and – in 1987 - was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Today Sybil Thomas and her band, The Blue Boyzz are here to pay tribute to him.
