Christian Louboutin brings artist CJ Hendry to Hong Kong for Art Basel

Christian Louboutin brings New York-based Australian artist CJ Hendry for her Asia debut in Hong Kong. The hyper-realistic artist, best known for her monochromatic pen drawings, for the first time worked with a new medium: colour.

Titled “Complimentary Colours”, the exhibition ran at the Anita Chan Lai-ling Gallery at Fringe Club, Central.

The colour red is highlighted in the series of 50 artworks as Hendry pays tribute to the iconic Louboutin red sole.

Fifteen shades of wax pencil were used to create each painting. Christian Louboutin rendered its iconic So Kate shoe in colour crayon form for guests at the opening cocktail party to paint on white walls.
