Liquidated Logo Artist, arrested

What if your means of popularity pulls you down to poverty?

This is most likely what will happen to Zev, a French young artist who is currently presenting a solo exhibition of his works at the Arts Statements Gallery in Hongkong, after the liquified Chanel logo is impossible to be wiped out at the Armani Building in Hongkong.


And with this incident, the Administration of the Giorgio Armani Building has laid a HKD 6.7 Million to the young artist and accused him for vandalism. Giorgio Armani Flagship hires professionals to clean out the painting but due to the sandstone facade, they are unable to remove the paint. Zev on the other hand, have claimed that he used a washable ink like what he's been using to any of his performances around the world.

Here's one of the few paintings that is available at the Hongkong gallery.





The art collection is open until September 30, 2009. If you're in Hongkong, go check it out!
