As we enter the year of the dragon, Mimi Leung made the above gif to wish everyone a propserous Chinese New Year. Recently, Mimi has been working on a bundle of new gifs that make the most of her explosive style (literally – see how much she hates cats). You can check them all out here.

After two years of back to back exhibitions and illustration work, Mimi Leung relocated to the desert lands around Alice Springs, Australia, in January 2010. Here she slowly gathered enough materials to set up a basic silkscreen studio. A new show at Bristol’s Here Gallery, features her recent output of gouache paintings and silk screen prints.

My “Overheard on Graham Street” pics are exhibited in a group show this week at UFO Gallery in Central Hong Kong. Also on show will be 2 customized mannequins and 3 hand painted guitars, one of which features here. The show is part of a cycle of 3 one-week exhibitions by 9 different artists in Hong Kong, in collaboration with Alive Not Dead . My exhibition is with an artist called Emily Eldridge and an old friend from St Martins, Mike Chan.

I painted this for Pushing The Envelope, a charity campaign to raise money for the National Literacy Trust. The theme was ‘words that mean most to me’. Lots of TV celebrities, pop stars and ‘real’ artists (like Grayson Perry) supplied customised envelopes which were auctioned on Ebay. My envelope was at £310 last I checked about 30mins before the end of the auction. The Auction ended up raising an impressive £14,459.65 for the Trust.

Today, we’re very pleased to welcome Mimi Leung to the Big Active family. Mimi studied at Central St Martins and the Royal College of Art in London. She currently lives in a small village at the foot of a big mountain in the countryside of Hong Kong, spending her time painting and looking for fun things to brighten up her day. When not painting, Mimi Leung makes music and has a track on the ICA’s Heavy Pencil compilation CD (2009). This track was recorded in the Australian outback where she spent three months mixing paint for Aboriginal artists and touching up their canvases.
