LOUSY
Hong Kong native Lousy draws on all surfaces across all spaces, taking cues from the proactive and spontaneous energy of the streets. Lousy strips down his visual language to simplified, gestural, rhythmic lines with a bright palette. Responding to the saturation of information, the artist distills universally recognisable concepts into his stylised symbols like the prominent kiss face, the Buddha, and the all-seeing-eye. The repetitive deployment of his lexicon points to a prolonged obsession that sits at the heart of the artist‘s practice: a desire to liberate , project positivity, and celebrate life
With his dazzling murals with a distinctive style of wavy and rhythmic lines and doodles paired with neon colors, passersby often discover and recognize his works featuring on the the cultural fabric of the city, like walls, shutters and trucks in the streets and alleys of Yuen Long, Jordan, Sheung Wan, etc. Inspired by ancient mythologies, Japanese ACG cultures and Western punk music, his art distills the human experience, emotions and imaginations into visual forms, from love and sex to god and monster.
