    Thursday night we went to support our friend and amazing artist Simon Birch at the Hong Kong Museum of Art.  The exhibition "Looking for Antonio Mak" features real pieces of the popular sculptor with other artists paying tribute to him with their own work and interpretations (the exhibition lasts until Jan 28). After that we went to the Louis Vuitton TST store to check out Simon's other exhibition "Out of the Darkness" documenting his recent battle with cancer.  Wing Shya and Stanley Wong took some intense pictures of the process and there's some really cool pieces that Simon painted during the life changing experience.  Definitely worth stopping by.

    Some amazing art by Mr.Birch!  One day I'll be able to afford one of these..



    Paying tribute to Antonio Mak, Simon personally folded and gave away 300 paper tigers (made of $100 bills!).  Respect!





    It was cool getting a chance to see such a big collection of Mr.Mak's works and seeing how other artists paid tribute to this groundbreaking sculpture.

    I got paper tiger #297.  Thanks Simon!

    I was searching for info on Antonio Mak and accidentally found you blog.  Anyway, I just wanted to say that I really like the paintings by Simon Birch.  In fact, the name of the artist of those paintings is not identified....I swear to god,  l looked all over that area and was not able to find any info on the paintings and the artist.  
    Those paintings were breathtaking. They fully captured the dynamics of the movements on a two dimensional plane.  

    I am so glad that  I  found out who is the man behind those paintings. I'll try to drop by LV to see the photo exhibition.

    Really like his original idea of using a real tiger. Too bad he wasn't allowed to.
