Most editor’s letters seem to begin with a hefty dose of self-congratulation. But
as we sit here about to go to print on this first issue of Galleri Magazine all
there really is to say is a very sincere and deeply felt Thank You…
Thank you to all the people around us who have helped in so many ways
in making this project happen. Thank you to all the support team at Red
Dog, China Stylus and Red Cactus who put up with us as we gave way
too much time to the magazine and not enough time to them. Thank you for
the unfaltering enthusiasm that so many have shown for the idea. And thank
you to all those who have stepped up to provide all manner of help, support
and assistance.
But most of all, thank you to all the artists and contributors who have given us
their work. The response has been incredible. We have enough great material
to fill the first three issues already. The diversity, quality and energy of what
you see here proves what we already know – that Hong Kong has a thriving,
ever-growing creative community that is better than some, and equal to many
others in the world.

Profile Many ancient cultures believe the camera captures the soul
of it’s subjects. Within my work I feel this to be true. It seems a beautiful
expression of the nude form is not always just a beautiful piece of art,
but can also be an experience of enlightenment and understanding
of who we are as a physical and emotional beings. In my work I’m
interested in showing this energetic flow of “Chi” that we radiate.

EXHIBITION 008 JOHN LUI
Profile John-John was what they used to call him. But now he is all
grown up and faces the responsibilities that society has for him to
take care of. Optimistic to take on this task, he navigates the world,
ensuring a bright future.
With so many styles out there, he explores to find a hole to dig himself
into. Showered by dust, he is always one step behind the trendsetters.
Eager, all he knows is to stick with what has worked for him whilst
they still called him by his nickname. And that is to be challenged
and excited for the new and unknown. To having faith and taking
that one extra step outside one’s comfort zone. And tackling all the
opportunities the world throws at him with humility. Wisest is the man
who is always willing to learn. And that is something he can only
hope he will stick with. To the beginning...

EXHIBITION 010 NICOLA RUSSELL
Profile: I graduated with a studio art degree from New York University,
where I was influenced by performance art and photographers such as
Cindy Sherman and Nikki S. Lee. My work generally gravitated towards
themes of identity, race and sexuality. While in New York I worked with
local photographers Lyle Ashton Harris and Michael Lavine.
I still take pictures at my own leisure and would like to continue making
conceptual photographic art projects. In the near future I am thinking of
either going back to school or taking some time off to travel the world.

EXHIBITION 011 START FROM ZERO
Profile START stands for Street ART, Stencil ART and Sticker ART.
There are two meanings of “Start From Zero”; 1) He started performing
street art from nothing, i.e. “zero”. He hopes that when someone
sees his stickers, they will be like him and start doing street art from
“zero”. 2) It can be a slogan for encouraging people when they are
unhappy, down or miserable. He also wants people to remind their
friends of this slogan when the same things happen.
Apart from using stickers, “Start From Zero” also uses wheat pastes,
spraying on stencils with different characters and illustrations to
convey his message on the streets.“Start From Zero” does solo street
art as well as collaboration street art. He is also an active member of
a Hong Kong street art crew – ST/ART.
Besides performing street art, ”Start From Zero” will release various
products; T shirts, badges caps, key chains and other accessories.
These are the additional media for Start From Zero to more widely
spread his message to everyone.

EXHIBITION 013 ISABELLBELLBELL
I’m Isabell Chan. I was born and have lived all my life in Hong Kong,
and I fell in love with photography since I took a couple of shots of
my friends, where I could see “The Moment”. It was right then that
I decided to give up my routine office job and throw myself into
photography, trying to find a way to do better, and wanting to learn
more about it, because I love it.
I worked with Ike, a great black & white photographer, for half a
year, then from early 2006 I joined the Red Dog team, where I
have been based until now. I have been focused on implementing
what I’ve learnt into my own photography; nothing fancy, just simple
and natural things. But mostly, I love catching the moment inside the
movement. “The Moment”, which lasts forever and ever.

Nationality Chinese
Name Tiffanycheetah
Sex Female
She looks for inspiration all the time that she encounters, lives for
and witnesses, especially the most obvious ones. My illustrations are
deeply inspired by occurrences impacting our daily lives – like the
keep fit trend. She hates fat, she hates slim… and all the things going
wrong in the world. She loves to create nude girls and fat girls to go
against the negative thinking of the human body. In recent years she
has fallen in love with hair.

Profile Justo Cascante has been living in Hong Kong for 14 years
now; He’s originally from Manila Philippines. After graduating Fine Arts
major in Painting, he started to work as a Special Effects Make-up Artist
and a Senior Sculptor. After few years he moved to Hong Kong to work
for Tsui Harks film outfit and production house as a multimedia artist
using different mediums to produce visual effects for movies including
3d animation.
Because of its fast pace life and fast intake of information painting and
drawing becomes a cooling system to balance himself to produce more
quality works. After experiencing a series of mild depression he started
to paint beautiful and happy images and need not to see the shadows
of his pain. For in the process of his narrative, and in the process of a
living expression, my works offered me a kind of balance that revealed
both the Beauty of Nature and the poignancy of this life.
Like a Code that needs to be broken… his art can be viewed in many
ways. Interpretation becomes the responsibility of my viewers. He is
a simple man with a complex story. The burden of his complexity is
but him alone. He therefore leaves with you, his viewers the simple
narrative that invokes the poetic license of his artistry.
Justo had four one-man exhibition in Hong Kong and Philippines and
fifteen group exhibitions. His commercial works on computers open up
a new view on how he sees his future paintings based from patterned
and pre-digested images from pop culture and famous local everyday
icons. Hopefully they will be transparent and blended in terms of form
and content.

Profile Celestial are a Hong Kong musical collective and what you
see here is the artwork created by producer, Peter Millward, for the
CD sleeve of the fourth Celestial album, “Electric Road”. The photo-
montage (created from scratch by Pete) portrays a surreal Hong Kong
street - but don’t bother looking for it, it doesn’t really exist. “I love
Photo-Shop!” says Pete. Although “Electric Road” is the name of a
real street, the album isn’t really about that street, but rather the name
serves as a descriptor for an imagined soundscape, or subterranean
mind space, somewhere nearer the bottom of Hong Kong’s harbour, if
the underwater dub electronica which makes up the album is anything
to go by. And the sleeve is an apt reflection of this, like the false
memory of a perfect (imagined) past.

exciting artists from the burgeoning world graffiti/street art scene.
He brings his incisive style and vision to create a satirical portrait
of our contemporary society. Visually sophisticated and conceptually
provocative, his images challenge global trends hypocrisy, hyper-
consumerism and social control. He centers his work around questions
whose answers underline the mechanisms of advertising and
propaganda which invade our public spaces. The visual codes used
by L1ES ONE highlight our modern society products, myths and heroes.
His challenge is to live creatively in a technological world, accepting
this jaded world on which we impose our faltered thoughts, and to
find a harmony between nature and technology.

A FINAL THOUGHT
We love the fact that we live and work in one of the most creative
cities in the world. We love that despite being busy, manic and about
as urban as any city can get, just 30 minutes away we can find
ourselves in a beautiful country park or on a beach.We love that there
is so much for our hearts, minds and eyes to appreciate in this town.
But what good is all that if we can’t see more than 20 metres in front
of us and the air we breathe becomes toxic?
It was recorded that Hong Kong only had around 40 clear days
throughout the whole of 2006.
This is our way to ask everyone to start stopping. Stop the pollution.
Stop the waste. Stop standing by, start doing something.
• The method for measuring the API in Hong Kong is not comparable
to any other scale in the world. Therefore when the weather report
states there is low pollution, it is still higher than most cities in the
world
• The top polluters for air pollution in Hong Kong are power plants
causing 92% of the total emissions of S02 and 50% of NOx and
respirable suspended particles (RSP)
