“..the face of Hong Kong Graffiti.” - Vice
Asian Graffiti and Urban Art Legend Xeme invites us to see Hong Kong from his point of view.

There is one name universally synonymous with Hong Kong’s graffiti scene. That name is Xeme. Xeme is widely recognized as one of most prolific figures in the Hong Kong graffiti scene and the wider Asian graffiti and street art scene. He has a body of work that spans two decades and is responsible for the famous Invasian magazine, HKwalls and has contributed to a variety of streetwear labels. Xeme has solidified his reputation as a graffiti writer in a place where, once upon a time, it was pretty uncommon to see any type of street art.
