Zevs Arrested in Hong Kong (Interview)
July 21, 2009 ⋅ Uncategorized ⋅ by Staff ⋅ 4 Views

Coming off a recent exhibition opening in Hong Kong, French artist Zevs was caught red handed working up his signature artwork on the walls of a Georgio Armani store. Adding that Chanel logo looks like it might cost the artist a load of cash as the store is requesting an insane amount of compensation for his actions (nearly $6.7 Million HKD). This video interview by the South China Morning Post gives a bit more insight into the matter.

    It was a statement. Call it art if you want. If you’re into stuff like that do your thing, i’m not here to judge ya. That’s pretty weak on the charges though I have to admit.

    What is the meaning behind his so called “art” anyways? Other designers’ logos abused, tracing shadows, vandalizing historical properties…. Yeah, keep the head wrap on. Please, if his work can be called art, everyone just take paint and go out there and destroy something and call themselves artists.

    Sorry to hear that he was caught. Umm, I don’t know, maybe the camera crew across the street gave it away! If I were him, I’d demand to see the wall uncovered. Although, sandstone is pretty porous, so maybe it did hold some of the paint. Sucks. Btw, he may want to get a new head wrap. That one’s awfully sheer.
