Kasing Lung: Everybody Knows

EVENT DESCRIPTION

LANDMARK, BELOWGROUND and How2work present ‘EVERYBODY KNOWS’, a solo art exhibition and retail concept by Kasing Lung, available for public viewing between 26th March to 17th April 2024, spanning from the ground floor to the basement of LANDMARK Atrium. The Hong Kong-born artist first rose to fame when he released ‘The Monsters’ story series, amongst which Labubu, the character gained enormous popularity. This marks his largest solo exhibition in his hometown, where his visionary world populated by beloved characters, will be presented in LANDMARK and take over the entirety of BELOWGROUND.

Spreading message of joy, love and peace, a specially-designed gallery will be set up within LANDMARK Atrium, where cut-out motifs of Lung’s iconic characters from the encircling walls as if they were audiences admiring his works of art. Realised by award-winning global agency, Kennedy London, the structure showcases a striking reinterpretation of the artist’s signature style. 25 new paintings – some almost 2 metres tall – will be displayed within the space, drawing visitors into the artist’s mystical world, full of monsters and creatures from his imagination. Taking centre stage of the exhibit is the ‘EVERYBODY KNOWS’ triptych that showcases his vibrant ensemble of characters and the iconic Labubu. Drawing inspiration from his own daughter, Lung describes the Labubu character as mischievous, playful, and endlessly curious about the world, resembling his own personality.
