“Winkin Buddha” is the centrepiece of a very new, very pretty exhibition by Hong Kong artist Lousy at Tai Hang micro-gallery, Side Space.
Three-day quarantine is still too much, innit? I’m not leaving, you’re not leaving, and if you are? Kick rocks. The rest of us need something to do now that Better Call Saul is done and dusted. Come to Tai Hang, because the Outlying Islands are still too damn crowded and there’s a new Lousy piece to flick up for the ‘gram at curator Matt Chung‘s new micro-gallery, Side Space.
Even if you think you don’t know Lousy, you’ve seen his work — you can’t miss the artist’s “kissface” and “all-seeing eyes” that occupy the city’s gates, alleys and other spaces, both prominent and inconspicuous. His latest drop, “Winkin Buddha”, seated among a garden of inked flowers brings that same charm and a dollop of inner peace to the School Street corner, flanked by auto repair shops and otherwise lifeless after dark.
“Winkin Buddha” will be on view until August 30, so get active.
SIDE SPACE, 10 School Street, Tai Hang, Hong Kong
