On Instagram as Dickie Suzuki, daily posts of new photographs... ;-)
Limited edition selection of my photographic outputs on Chromolux metal plate.
We held an art show in an abandoned house featuring 14 talented artists last weekend. Guests were brought in from central and blindfolded in accordance with Urban Explorer rules to maintain the location's secrecy. Attendees enjoyed Champagne and canapés and were given tours of the breathtaking artworks on display by the artists themselves. This event was a refreshing departure from the formal art shows typically held in the city that day.
We saw it as a 'proof of concept' and a test to determine the viability of expanding this idea on a larger scale. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting art experiment. #art #artexperiment #hkart #artists #urbex

A New concept show in progress, after the successful sale of my pieces at Re-Shape, which were proof of concept IMO. I am moving onto production of a 50 framed piece show in a similar theme which has yet to be titled... For now titled as: Gods & Goddesses... more to come.
Also a guerrilla show (mentioned above). inside of an abandoned building!!

As a founding partner of Eleven Vintage, www.xivintage.com, we were delighted to be invited to host this year's charity ride in Hong Kong in support of men's mental health and colon cancer charities. The event was a success, with a great turnout and a smooth ride through the streets. We are already planning for the 2024 edition, with new routes and a potential festival attached to the start/finish location. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
Collaboration with ArtLab852

featuring hand applied graffiti by ArtLab on a chromoluxe metal print.
ArtLab852 Artist Statement:
This collaborative piece with Dickie has been a very reflective process. We seldom see the inner-self of people, what was the person in the composition experiencing? Through the photography of Dickie and my painted additions, triggering the reflections of the people of Hong Kong.
In this particular piece of photography by Dickie, a spray-painted halftone graphic of Themis, Goddess of Justice, on the wall was placed above Article 27 of the Hong Kong Basic Law, a young man is walking past... Expressing a time, an era where people doubted the symbol guarding the rights of freedom of speech. Whilst the article remains solid, the symbol of justice seems fleeting. The composition provokes the audience to reflect on their thoughts.

Collaboration with Artist Ling Muki

featuring hand painted character Muki eating a traditional Hong Kong soft serve Ice Cream whilst watching Bicycle man work. so cute.
Ling Muki Artist Statement:
This collaborative piece with Dickie is particularly special to me. Through photography, we not only tell a story, but also invite viewers to imagine their own stories. In this artwork, Muki enters the real world for the first time, specifically Hong Kong, in a photograph taken by Dickie.
While enjoying a traditional Hong Kong soft serve ice cream, she curiously watches the bicycle man work, taking in everything around her. This piece is a celebration of our vibrant and textured Hong Kong, brimming with emotions.
By combining painting and photography, we aimed to capture the essence of this city's unique beauty and cultural diversity. Just as Hong Kong embraces different cultures and possibilities, we hope this piece inspires viewers to embrace their own uniqueness and individuality.
