Interview with the Hong Kong artist"},"content":{"rendered":"

Hong Kong artist Jasper Wong tell us more about his artworks and working process in this exclusive interview.<\/h2>\n

I don’t like to say nice words unless I really mean it.
\nThat being said, Jasper Wong<\/strong> is one of the nicest, coolest, truest and funniest guy I’ve met in the past 10 years (don’t ask me why I chose 10).
\nIf you are Australian and like footy, Jasper looks exactly the same like Bobby Hundreds (come on Bobby is a big black dude, isn’t he?).
\nBut if you are Mega, Jasper looks like the awesome guy who get his artwork tattooed on the leg<\/a>.
\nFresh off the golden jet-plane flying from his Hong Kong-based gallery called Above Second, Jasper recently went to Melbourne where he was invited to paint at the Carbon event organized by Acclaim magazine<\/a>.
\nI was doing my exhibition there too, as an official part of the event, and the whole thing was hosted at Federation Square.
\nI’m still wondering why we didn’t get more chicks with so much awesomeness…
\nThe answer may be green and smokable.
\nNow while I think about a way to tell you more about his gallery, you should take a look at the beautiful artworks bellow.
\nI guess I need to do more posts about Jasper and his many activities.
\nDid I tell you about the Pow Wow event he organize in Hawai?

HOW DOES YOUR ENVIRONMENT INFLUENCE YOUR ART<\/strong>
\nMy eyes are always open. I’m always looking and drawn to the most random bits of life. The environment is my biggest resource and lover.<\/p>\n
