We’re halfway through Arts Month, and several arts happenings have been taking place in Hong Kong. Aside from large-scale events like Edible Art Fair and Art Basel, there’ve also been artsy vibes taking over the street, especially with mysterious graffiti spotted across neighbourhoods such as Central, Sheung Wan, Sai Ying Pun, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and Tsim Sha Tsui.
Netizens in Hong Kong have spotted graffiti sentences such as ‘I fell in Love in Hong Kong’, ‘Hong Kong isn’t the same without you’, ‘still a kid with dreams’, and ‘Can we still fall in love this Summer’, all with the name @7SoulsDeep written underneath them. But who is this mysterious artist?
Turns out @7SoulsDeep is a Brooklyn-based street artist currently with 121K followers, who regularly leaves sentimental graffiti on walls and pavements, evoking love, romance, and spiritual communication through a simple sentence.
Earlier this March, @7SoulsDeep posted his debut photo in Hong Kong and announced that the city would be his first stop in Asia, and said that he would embark on this new journey while sharing his thoughts with everyone. We did a little snooping around Hong Kong Island and found some of his works on Hollywood Road, Staunton Street, and Queen’s Road West. Curious to see what we found? Watch the video below.
