Hong Kong may have teeny flats, but there are strategies and tips<\/a> that can transform your living space. Incorporating some affordable Hong Kong-themed art pieces can also add character without taking up too much space (in your home and your wallet)! Plus, they make lovely gifts<\/a> for those departing the city<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Affordable Hong Kong-themed art you\u2019ll love<\/h2>\n

1. Alvin C.K. Lam<\/h3>\n

Drawing and painting since childhood, Alvin captures Hong Kong\u2019s daily (and disappearing) scenes using watercolour paint. In his words, he paints the \u201ctrue, unsung heroes of the home we call Hong Kong\u201d, such as Hong Kong\u2019s only remaining birdcage maker, ladies hand-roasting chestnuts, or local fruits and vegetable stalls. His attention to detail and careful choice of locations bring us waves of nostalgia! Shop his prints, postcards, and greeting cards to keep your memories of Hong Kong alive!<\/p>\n

A jack of many trades, Eleanor captures Hong Kong\u2019s vibrant cityscapes through paintings (oil and acrylic), photomontages (merging two images), collages of multiple photographs, and digital print. We love her signature style of merging contrasting scenes and colours. She’s often drawn to the unnoticed details of the concrete jungle, and that serves as an inspiration for her work. If you want a unique painting of the beloved ding ding, or Mong Kok streets, you\u2019ve got it (we mean, she\u2019s got it)! Aside from prints, you can also shop Hong Kong-themed souvenirs like bottles, bags, umbrellas, and notebooks.<\/p>\n

Ever felt like there\u2019s so much of Hong Kong you want to capture but you can\u2019t choose just one? Louise Hill\u2019s prints feature an eclectic mix of iconic Hong Kong vignettes in a vintage style evocative of Hong Kong\u2019s mid-century era. Louise photographs buildings, objects, textiles \u2013 anything that draws her attention \u2013 and then digitally combines them to create highly detailed scenescapes. Aside from prints, you can also shop for luxury greeting cards and fans.<\/p>\n

For a more minimalist aesthetic, Tiny Island has some seriously stylish, locally made prints that will steal all the attention in your space. Shop the floating icons: the sampan, star ferry, and the iconic Aqua Luna. We also love their map prints of different districts \u2013 you\u2019ll be amazed seeing how certain areas mimic the shape of animals (tsk tsk TST)! Art pieces are made using silk screen and printed using recycled paper, with fade resistant paint (all wins!). Aside from prints, you can also shop scented candles, umbrellas, and towels.<\/p>\n
