Hong Kong youth, like their western counterparts (ie Banksy), are turning to graffiti to make their marks and noise. In particular, Start From Zero is a collective that not only puts
art on the walls, but also sells stickers and apparel with their
distinct prints.
Supporting their work is local art gallery NoBorders, in
Soho, Central, a space that focusses on "Statement Art - contemporary
art with an edge that examines social boundaries and norms across
cultures as a broader spectrum of art in which Urban Pop and Street Art
is included".

Another space that supports wall art is Yumla, an hip bar
in Central whose outer facade gets a facelift every few months to
showcase different artists. In this picture, they let all their clients
write happy birthday notes on the blacked out wall for its 5th year
anniversary.
