By sticking to his type of ‘formalism’ art, he was frowned upon by the society amongst other underground young artists and was expelled from art school where he went onto exile in Paris.

Literally overwhelmed by the amount of works that were on display at Art Basel 2013; I only managed to finish digesting one floor worth of works before my watch strike 5. Visiting on the last day of the event, a lot of other guests were also trying to engulf as much artistic inspiration as they can. Cannot really judge on the whole fair since I only went to half of it; I have to say the half I saw was quite mind blowing. Not only are stalls so close to each other, with a new piece of work within each step; almost every piece of work clicked even without much written information accompanying it.

The colorful architecture is strangely juxtaposed with a lack of domesticity, imposed with layers that strengthens the depth of the image but reinforces a feeling static time for the environment.

Just the previous Sunday, I was trooping down Sai Ying Pun in search of my destination by following the noises “thump thump” from the music bass.

Much like an underground house party, the place was packed, heated with energy, with the great music that most of us were there for.
