‘Double Umami’ by Lousy and Davidgoodtime
Hong Kong street artist Lousy, best known for his bold graphics resembling glyphs and pictorial shapes, is collaborating with viral food photographer-artist David Leung – also known as Davidgoodtime, who specialises in capturing reflected food images highlighting pareidolia – for a dynamic exhibition about dim sum and the ritual of yum cha.Â
See photographs depicting beloved dim sum dishes in Leung’s signature mirrored style, mounted inside bamboo steamers crafted by master artisan Lui Ming of Ming Sang Steel Bamboo Receptacle; a customised dim sum trolley; Leung’s first foray into canvas work inspired by the Chinese deities Fu Lu Shou; plenty of Lousy’s signature drawings done on old dim sum order sheets; and more treats.
See if you can snag the special collab bottles of soy sauce and chilli sauce as well – only super limited numbers available and perfect for pairing with your weekend yum cha sesh!
