Art Supermarket is pleased to present Exquisite Taste and Rich: The Artwork of Collaboration and Symbol, the solo exhibition by our new artist Michael Andrew Law (Hong Kong). The exhibition lasts until 19 November 2022.  

Contemporary is the generation of comments and reviews on the past, thus contemporary art is the best tool and platform. Michael Andrew Law (Born. Law Cheuk-Yui) is one of the most original and passionate artists in Hong Kong, with his vibrant and recognisable paintings with the juxtaposition of their visual elements of popular culture.

For Law, painting is a medium that works as a commentary on contemporary culture. Combining Pop Art, Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, Law uses a humorous way to connect popular culture from low art to high art, commercial art to fine art, and past to present.

The paintings contain various cultural icons and symbolic value in historical art history — Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Sandro Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, David of Michelangelo, and Katsushika Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa, as well as popular icons in contemporary art history such as Jeff Koons’s balloon dog, KAWS, Andy Warhol’s Campbell soup, Yayoi Kusama’s pumpkins and Banksy’s Girl with Balloon, along with Hollywood stars and celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Hedy Lamarr.

Gallery address: 1/F, Asiarich Court, 5 Staunton Street, Soho
