French graphic artist Romain Jacquet‐Lagrèze became interested in photography while living in Los Angeles and Tokyo, inspired by constantly growing skyscrapers which he terms "the architectural race to the sky." This inspiration has understandably found a home here in Hong Kong, and "Vertical Horizon" is a collection of his snaps since living here, showing the colors and dimensions of our towering skyline from unusual and striking angles.

Art Statements and Gaffer are pretty proud that four of their own artists will be exhibited at the 2013 Venice Biennale—one of the world's most prestigious art fairs—and want to celebrate by displaying their work this month in Hong Kong. Featured are the Russian collective AES+F, Japanese anime and video game guru Yoshitaka Amano, Aussie canvas dripper Dale Frank and Chinese oil painter Chen Ping.
