"50:50 Duality" Billy Solo Exhibition

About
What happens when a lawyer trades courtrooms for spray cans? Hong Kong-born Graffiti artist Billy did exactly that — walking away from a promising legal career to pursue street art, initially just to save money on creative supplies. That accidental beginning snowballed into an international journey: his works sold out on the very first day of his Dubai debut, and a single Singapore showcase moved over 20 pieces, firmly planting Hong Kong's graffiti art on the global map. This June, Billy returns home for his very first solo exhibition — "50:50 Duality" — held at Artaflo Collective Gallery in Wong Chuk Hang from June 13 to 27. The show is built around the themes of documentation and dialogue, inviting visitors to slow down, sit with the works, and have an honest conversation with themselves. 🎨 Exhibition Highlights: - "Lucky Cat" (招財貓) Series — Billy's signature motif reimagined: half adorable exterior, half X-ray skeleton, laced with fluorescent pigments that glow in the dark. A witty yet poignant meditation on the dual faces modern people wear - "Butterfly" (蝴蝶) Series — Inspired by Zhuangzi's ancient philosophical dream, these new works blur the boundary between reality and illusion, self and identity, rendered in vivid fluorescent graffiti - Ink-wash Graffiti Series — Spray-painted works that channel the aesthetic of traditional Chinese ink painting, bridging East and West in a single stroke Billy will be present at the opening on June 13 at 4:00 PM to share his creative journey in person. Advance booking is recommended. 📍 Artaflo Collective Gallery, Unit 1A, Kwai Bo Industrial Building, 40 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Wong Chuk Hang 📞 Enquiries & Booking: +852 2307 5778
