Snipe1: METAMANIAKS

EVENT DESCRIPTION

We are pleased to present METAMANIAKS, by Japanese artist Snipe1. The first of our international artists to visit Hong Kong after the covid.

A pioneer among Japanese graffiti writers, Snipe1 has been active since the dawn of Japan’s graffiti scene and later threw himself into the graffiti world of early 1990s New York during his teenage years. Snipe1’s graffiti draws upon the sensibility of street culture but incorporates an edge of “dirtiness” that lends to an unmistakable individual style. By pushing the boundaries, he continuously dares to toe the danger of breaking stereotypes.

In here, the artist aims to spark a conversation, to challenge people’s thoughts, and to ultimately encourage them to question the reality we live in.
