Times Square Art

Times Square in Hong Kong is always such a busy place. It's that way for many reasons but I think one of them is probably the ever-changing art exhibitions displayed on the ground and second floor. Each exhibition is always unique and interesting and they last about a month before they take it all down and prepare for a fresh new one. This is the latest exhibition...

The artist's name is Mike Stilkey.

"Stilkey depicts a melancholic and at times a whimsical cast of characters inhabiting ambiguous spaces and narratives of fantasy and fairy tales."

"A lingering sense of loss and longing hints at emotional depth and draws the viewer into their introspective thrall with a mixture of capricious poetry, wit, and mystery."

"His work is reminiscent of Weimar-era German expressionism and his style has been described by some as capturing features of artists ranging from Edward Gorey to Egon Schiele. "

The painting of the people above remind me of the artwork for The Series of Unfortunate Events. Do you see it?

Love how his beard looks like smoke as well. 

I'm definitely guilty of frequenting Times Square -  I'm a fan of these exhibitions. 

P.s. My question is, how did they get all the books, from the first picture, into Times Square?!
