Tribe of many colors
On June 3rd 2011, Future Industries presented the opening of ‘Tribe of Many Colors: Paintings by Prodip’, at the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences in Sheung Wan. The exhibition was part of a joint show where Prodip’s work was exhibited in the annex of the Museum while Simon Birch’s ‘Laughing with a Mouth Full of Blood’ exhibition was housed in the main museum building. Prodip, best known from his work with the controversial Cantonese hip hop group LMF, is a Hong-Kong based painter, illustrator and graphic designer. His paintings are a combination of both figurative works and landscapes, using a variety of mediums, from wood and paper to acrylic on canvas. ‘Tribe of Many Colors’ was Prodip’s first solo exhibition of paintings, as part of Future Industries work to support local and international artists. The selection of paintings had a strong narrative dimension, chronicling Prodip’s longstanding interest in UFO phenomena.
