Quiksilver recently held an event inside a vacant store in Hong Kong’s Soho neighborhood. The combination art exhibition / fashion show drew a crowd that spilled out onto Staunton Street, the area’s main thoroughfare. The guerrilla fashion show which was staged in the center of the venue, featured model Cara G. and a set of twins!
The Quiksilver Art on Foam exhibition was brought to life by Surf Rock music from the 1960’s that provided a great soundtrack to the artwork.
The narrow storefront was filled with fifteen surfboards painted by international artists including pro-skater Andy Howell, Australian artist Peter Webb, German artist Flying Fortress, Australian musician-artist Reg Mombassa, the UK Scrawl Collective’s Mr Jago, English artist Lucy McLauchlan, French illustrator Jean Linnhoff, and American artist Randy Noborikawa. Several local artists also contributed boards.

The Art on Foam exhibition is currently traveling around the world.
Despite the heat, and the fact that the event was far from the nearest beach, the night was a fun event with a good vibe.
The crowd enjoyed the informal setting and stayed at the venue much later than anticipated.
