A decade ago, the publication of three picture books – Lung Ka-sing’s “The Monsters Trilogy” – brought Labubu into the world. Today, a new exhibition is celebrating the illustrator and toy designer’s elfen characters.
“Monsters by Monsters: Now and Then”, open to the public at the Asia Society Hong Kong Centre until January 4, features previously unreleased Labubu and Monster sketches and sculptures.
Reflecting on the past decade, Lung tells the Post: “For me, the most important evolution is the gradual expansion of [The Monsters] universe. But one thing has never changed from the very beginning: the joy of creation. It sounds basic, but it’s the most crucial thing.”
