Over ten days in the Mongolian wilderness, LUAP travelled on horseback through remote landscapes to create new Pink Bear artworks — a journey shaped by endurance, silence and fleeting connection.
A dreamlike road trip through New Zealand’s South Island — from swimming with wild dolphins to stargazing in a field of lupins, glaciers, stormy beaches and alpine lakes, all witnessed by a quietly surreal companion: the Pink Bear.
In early 2018, I fly to Sydney for just 72 hours to shoot a new series with the Pink Bear for Daisy Green’s flagship Soho restaurant. No jet lag, no downtime — just sunrise to sunset shoots across Bondi and the city. The result is a bold, fast-paced commission I’m proud to now see hanging at Scarlett Green.
Artist LUAP joins a 9-day expedition through Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, summiting North Africa’s highest peaks to raise money for the National Autistic Society — and in the process, finds the origin of a new creative path.
LUAP’s Pink Bear made his international debut at the Hong Kong Contemporary Art Fair in 2010, where the city’s energy and enthusiasm transformed a quiet alter ego into a celebrity icon. From gallery walls to crowded public squares, the Pink Bear captured hearts — and camera lenses — across the city.
