HK Art Scene

Checked out an 'art' showing this weekend by Banksy, the mysterious British graffiti artist whose whimsical yet politically charged, anti-establishment murals grace public spaces in London and other world cities, even the concrete barrier separating Palestine and Israel. His identity is supposedly unknown but the fact he's got his prints and paintings on a world tour leads one to believe he's creeping from the underground to the mainstream. I couldn't help but think he was somewhere in the gallery observing the crowd. Perhaps like Spiderman he'll use his time in HK to leave the city a parting gift.
