Hong Kong Art Fair

On Thursday night I was lucky enough to attend a special viewing of this year's Hong Kong Art Fair. I was blown away by the works of art there, which was mostly contemporary art. The exhibition was enormous and jam packed with many different artists from around the world, including lots and lots from China including Yu Chen, Zhao Fang and Wang Yi-guang. Exhibits from Damien Hirst, Matisse, Avedon (photo above) and La Chappelle were also at the show. I felt completely spoiled to see this exhibition and hope to return over the weekend as three hours were not enough to see everything. Apologies for the quality of the photos - I took them with my iphone.

Below is a video about the show. The show runs until Sunday.

I miss Hong Kong

I'm in Bonny Scotland just now but missing Hong Kong lots!

Busy

I'm unable to blog just now as I am HERE (above) rather than there (below).

Carrie Chau - my favourite artist this week

I've been dying to share one of my favourite artists with you - Carrie Chau. Carrie was born in Hong Kong (and believes she was an alien in her past life)! She paints really cool strange characters. I adore her work and have a couple of her cushions in my home and a (creepy) clock. Her material can sometimes be dark but it is always interesting. You can buy her paintings on her website as well as more affordable items such as bags, t-shirts, cards, cushions and wallets
