Vices frequently develop into social norms throughout the tiers of sub-cultures despite often being considered the faults, immoral and sinful actions in the associated society. Hong Kong is a reservoir of behaviours that combine actions and social normalities from all over the world – and charmingly a city full of Vices. The boisterous pleasures of Hong Kong indulge its people and visitors to fall in love with its combination of Virtues, Vices and all that is in between. Junk boat parties, roof top bars, luxury living, Happy Valley, Lan Kwai Fong and its Wanchai counterpart, the summer in Hong Kong is the pinnacle of the word amusement.

Aaron Kai’s work touches upon these subjects but in an art form that highlights the fun and divergence that some Vices can bring to elevate cultures. His iconic illustrations and style playing with bold colours is portrayed throughout the exhibition incorporating comic culture and his signatures waves.

Above Second Gallery is excited about Aaron Kai’s return after making his debut trip to Hong Kong during Art Basel 2015. During his time here, Aaron hosted a pop-up exhibition as part of his world tour as well as painting two murals, HK Walls in Stanley and the Vaford Gates in Chai Wan as part of Chai Wan Mei.
