There’s nothing better than walking down the streets of Hong Kong and admiring the many murals around town on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Here we list the artists behind the city's colourful street art
In the past decade, Hong Kong has quickly developed as one of Asia’s leading art districts, attracting art enthusiasts and collectors every year to visit art exhibitions such as Art Basel and Art Central.
Other projects such as The West Kowloon Cultural District, Hong Kong Museum of Art and Tai Kwun Centre for Heritage and Arts have also been introduced by the government to further develop Hong Kong’s art scene, giving the city breath of fresh air.
Art murals and street art have also been gaining popularity in the city as art organisations such as HKWALLS create more opportunities for local and international artists to showcase their talent through public art. If you’ve ever walked by a mural in Hong Kong and wondered who the artist is, you might find your answer in this article. From colourful neon walls to monochrome line drawings and more, here are some of the best mural artists in the city.
Carol Mui and Rebecca T Lin
If you’re into house plants, nature and greenery, you’d love the murals by business manager Carol Mui and graphic designer, Rebecca T. Lin. These two friends started their mural business, #creativehustlers in 2017 to take on mural commissions from companies, restaurants and local shops and have since created murals for companies such as DBS, Lululemon and Pizza Express.
