The Black Sheep: Exhibition by Carrie Chau

Wow my all time favorite HK illustrator Carrie Chau is going to have her 4th exhibition in the coming September in Times Square from 2nd to 16th Sep 07, 10am to 10pm.  The exhibition will feature many of her new paintings, huge hand painted figures on display, books and postcard will be sold during exhibition.

More of the new products will be sold at city'super Times Square and Festival Walk's LOG-ON in the same period, including keyrings, leather name card cases with her paintings printed on surface, T-shirts, book cover + notebooks, posters, tote bags, purses, cushion and large match boxes.

I bought several of her posters even though my walls at home refuse to have things sticked on them for more than 2 days.  You can't find much on the internet about her but she has a lot of fans.  I wish her work can be more visible to the world outside Hong Kong and Taiwan, I'm promoting her as a fan whenever possible :)

Check out the following links to learn more about her, including video interview:

I'm very curious about her new paintings, dying to know more about the stories behind.  Hope I'll meet her someday and ask.
