Exhibition Extract

Frog King, China’s first performance artist, has adopted a frog as his symbol and alter ego. Frog-topia is the mental construct in which he locates his artistic values. The artist – who is based in Hong Kong, China, and exhibits internationally – uses Frog-topia as his way to transcend the artistic conventions found in every form of media.
