Directed by Hong Kong celebrity and young art collector Joey Thye, art initiative The Real Project has collaborated with Japanese artist Yuya Hashizume to present the artist’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong “eyewater: MUSIC”. It is the first time for Yuya Hashizume to adopt the image of a real person as the blueprint of his artistic creation, which he depicted Joey Thye as a cartoon figure in his works. It is also Yuya’s first attempt to create his works in three-dimensional that a human-size sculpture is made for this show. There will be a variety of merchandise launched alongside with the exhibition, including limited editions of toy figure, as well as limited editions of handcrafted wooden stool produced in collaboration with local creative initiative Start From Zero for the first time. At the same time, pre-sale of T-shirts and limited editions of 50 prints signed by Joey Thye will be launched to celebrate the second anniversary of Joey’s debut.
