HK Art Fair!

Got a chance to check out the HK International Art Fair last week and it was really great! I saw so many interesting modern art pieces and learned of several different Chinese artists. The art fair was only in town for one week so I'm really glad I got the chance to go! I also got VIP passes (from work) so that made it all the more fun!

Here are some of the really cool pieces that I liked!

An interactive piece....


Look you can see me in it! hehe



Guess I'm not the first one to wear oversized sunglassses...



A beautiful bird cage modeled after the tallest building in China...


And it was filled with beautiful real birds inside of it!



I really really liked this piece. Interesting piece as it was not only a mix of Batman, Spiderman, Superman, and the Hulk, but the position and face that it's making is so feminine. It's a great juxtaposition piece on masculinity and femininity, don't you think? I think he's got red lipstick on too.


This dude was trying to tell me what's up! jk, he was actually pretty cool looking. The piece is of a guy who is getting sucked up by something to the top right. Everything was being pulled in that direction and I love how detailed the fingers and feet are to this little guy!


And how cool is this piece? It's all made out of denim!



I won't bore you with all my comments but I will leave you with a few more pieces that really caught my eye. So even though you didn't see the show you get to see it with me...through my eyes. :)





Everyone is nuts about Lady GaGa. She even made it into a piece paintings...


My favorite piece. I couldn't get a decent photo of it though, but it's really really interesting when you look at it up close and in person. It's a picture of a building in Hong Kong. There are so many high rises and everything is built so close together. This photo shows just how intense it can be. You almost get lost in the photo and would probably get depressed if you stared at it for too long, but it has so many dimensions to it. So interesting!


And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There were hundreds and hundreds of paintings, drawings, installations, etc at the fair. All the pieces were pretty expensive though so no purchases for me. Still had a great time and was well worth the trip - twice!
