Hong Kong - Urban Art

Here at Framed we are always on the look out for interesting things happening in the global arts scene.

Hong Kong has been on our radar for a while now and with new galleries focussing on high end urban art opening across the city, we think it definitely deserves a mention.

There are organisations like ST/ART who are a collective of urban artists who are collaborating with clothes giants Reebok and Evisu and Graphic Airlines a pair of urban artists doing quirky and kitsch designs on everthing from public spaces to bags.

So keep an eye on the East because things are happening... cool things.

Featured Artist - Fernando Martins

Fernando Martins is a Portuguese painter and sculptor living near Coimbra. His pictorial work features cultural icons and his use of a dark colour palette adds a depth and richness to his work that reflects the work of the artists and musicians he paints. He will be one of the artists exhibiting in Letters from Iberia, May 2011.

Jonathan Freemantle - Divina Proportione

Exciting things are happening in the old ambulance depot on Brunswick Street in Edinburgh...

Next week celebrated South African artist Jonathan Freemantle unveils his latest exhibition Divina Proportione. Running from the 17th - 23rd of November it is set to a feast for the eyes and we at Framed are delighted to be supplying the wine for the launch.
