Scratching the Surface

June 5, 2017 2017年6月5日

Vhils is a Portuguse artist who has developed a unique visual language based on the removal of the surface layers of walls and other media with non-conventional tools and techniques. Coming from a background in graffiti, his work establishes symbolic reflections on identity, life in the urban context, the passage of time, and the relationship of interdependence between people and the surrounding environment. Currently based in Hong Kong, Vhils has developed a prolific series of works across the city. See below for a selection from the artist.
