Growing up, my visits to Hong Kong as well as my parents’ description of Hong Kong culture reinforced my assumption that the former British colony was too money-driven to nurture any good art.

Joey Leung Ka-Yin (who happens to share a surname with my mom) is proving that notion wrong with his playful fusion of traditional and contemporary themes and styles. I can’t wait for my next trip there, when I can hopefully check out his work in person.

Cyprien Chabert is a French artist who recently exhibited his latest show, Dogs Meow, in Hong Kong. In it, he invited viewers to a remote island that he has discovered. No mankind exists; it’s a paradise of animals. But there is a continuously baking dog on this island. So if you see the dog, please make it stop or meow! In this exhibition, Chabert questions the notion of landscape and wildlife.
