Imagine a space the size of a football field. Now picture two levels that size filled with some of the biggest artists from around the world’s work on display. It’s one of the best visual feasts I’ve ever seen. This is the second year attending the fair and this time I was more prepared for the volume and quality of work I’d be seeing. After spending the grand opening Wednesday night I only got a taste of what was on display so I went back again yesterday and spent a solid three hours walking around looking at all the work. If you’re in Hong Kong over the next few days it’s a must to go check out. I was lucky enough to meet Michael Lau who is one of the original urban vinyl figurine artists who’s work I’ve been collecting. An extra treat was having a close family friend ‘Pia’ from Australia in town, who is here for the week working at one of the exhibitions for the fair. Great to see you Pee!

I apologies my dodgy iPhone pics don’t do it justice.

HK Art Fair Week 2012

Day one kicked off on Tuesday for HK Art Fair week and who better to launch one of my favorite weeks in Hong Kong, than the man himself KAWS. I’ve been an avid collector of his work back when I could actually afford it. His work was on display at an amazing gallery space in just as an amazing building on 50 Connaught Road, Central. It was a cool eclectic crowd of street culture, high end euros and a few well known faces peppered in. I was even lucky enough to me Mr KAWS. Later that night they had the after party at Dragon-i with a two great sets by HEARTSREVOLUTION  and KOLKOZ spinning some great french electro they took me back to Le Baron. Def another huge tick to why I love living in HK.
