Some black and white/ noir/ monochromatic art I made recently and in the past few months. I’ve recently been more and more into making greyscale stuff lately. Maybe I got tired of the loud explosive uses of color I loved so much before. Just experimenting and stepping out of the nice familiar landscapes of chromatic psychedelia to learn how to get more refined with shapes lines composition values etc. Doing a lot of sigil exploration and experimentation, and doing less cybersigil and more of these calligraphic looking ones lately too. Been loving Chinese ink and Chinese calligraphy brushes lately to feel more Chinese. I am Chinese but I feel like a fraud sometimes because my Chinese isn’t very good and I can be considered white-washed. I’ve got a lot to say about the classic third culture kid troubles with never finding a sense of belonging and home but that would probably be better as something else like a substack post. But yeah We are all carving out homes in wherever feels comfortable even though no where really feels comfortable enough and always temporary. Liminality can be claustrophobic once it goes on long enough I’ve found. Art feels comfortable mostly but I also do always struggle with imposter syndrome and I guess because of the bipolar disorder part of me I always feel either I’m the shit or I’m nothing. I pray I find balance and neutrality with my self image at some point. Ok that’s enough heartfelt words tell me what you guys think about any of this or your favourite slide or anything even tell me about your day in the comments ciao for now. . . . . . #art #sigils #cybersigil #blackandwhiteart #painting

Come support local vendors… play your part in fostering the next generation of hong kong creatives #indie #artist #music #localart #hongkong Join us at “MADE IN 香港”— March 20th 5-9PM @heath_hk ; Vendor Market running throughout Part 2 of 3 @debauchry Samara's practice is rooted in ideas of connection, growth, and how people and systems support one another. Inspired by mycelium, root systems, and botanical networks, they see art as something living; a way of building relationships, sharing energy, and creating unseen links between people. @hippiefart Hippiefart is the artist name made up by Ashley Lau, a goofy name embracing the free-spirited, humorous, personality of the artist. She creates experimental mixed media art that explores modern cityscapes and the beauty of everyday life. @irismakestuff Iris is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture, crochet, jewellery, and music. Her work takes many forms, from wire-wrapped and beaded pieces to creations made with yarn and clay, alongside custom paintings that feel personal and one of a kind. @mindofyanyan Vespertine (mindofyanyan) is a jewellery project shaped by dark romance, softness, and edge. Each piece is handmade and soldered by hand, drawing on imagery like imps, satyrs, blades, and blooms. The work feels less like simple adornment and more like something embodied — expressive, intimate, and a little feral.

We believe that there needs to be more spaces for community, collaboration and exchange of ideas. Brand events, pop ups and underground nights are coming up in HK, however their energies are dispersed. How do we concentrate that creative, youthful energy in one place? How do we achieve critical mass?

Hi friends :) It’s been almost 1 year since we started CRITICAL MASS. We started with a simple desire to create a space where creatives could gather, socialise, exchange ideas and support each other. Since then, we’ve made many mistakes, we’ve had a lot of wins but above all, we trusted the process. Now we want to celebrate crossing the 1 year mark with the people who helped make it happen! It’s a format that allows everyone to contribute to this event: a rave with words, artworks, poetry and visuals projected on the walls. TRUST THE PROCESS The idea is centred around this aphorism because the creative journey is non-linear, messy and sometimes scary, but time and again trusting in the process always prevails. The process teaches us to observe the world, the listen to our heart and speak our truth. It’s a reciprocative dialogue with ourselves and our art that helps us grow as artists. We’re opening submissions for: PRELUDE — Aphorisms ACT I — Visualisers ACT II — Visual Art ACT III — Poetry Readings Full specs and more details in the submission form in bio :) COMMUNITY ARTISTS FEATURED: @jamesyrrrll @leahputn4m @see_a_man_die @debauchry SEE YOU MARCH 27TH ❤️
