# Mid-Punch Portraits Jasper Wong and Yue Wu Collaborate for the POW WOW Affair By Brian G Randles | Published 2010-03-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pow-wow-affair References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2010/03/pow-wow-day-1-recap/) & [jasperwong.net](http://jasperwong.net/) This is the inaugural year of the art and musically-minded POW WOW affair in Hong Kong. Kicking things off with the “WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA’AM!!!” exhibition, the POW WOW affair showed off many pieces of [wonderful art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lets-start-over). One such artistic creation came from the [collaboration between American-born, Hong Kong-based artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-like-heaven-art-exhibition) Jasper Wong and Chinese-born, Paris-based Yue Wu. They created a series of amazing pieces exclusively for the show, but my favorite has to be the mid-punch portrait featured here. Check out all of their work above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Art Collaborations:** Explore opportunities for artists from different backgrounds and locations to collaborate on unique art projects and exhibitions. - **Experiential Events:** Create immersive events that combine art, music, and other forms of entertainment to engage audiences and foster creativity. - **Cross-cultural Artistic Expressions:** Promote and showcase artwork that intertwines cultural influences and perspectives to create compelling and diverse art experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Culture:** The art and culture industry should embrace and support collaborations between artists to diversify the art landscape and attract new audiences. - **Event Management:** Event management companies can create experiential events that bring together art, music, and other elements to provide unique and engaging experiences for attendees. - **International Art Market:** Facilitate the exchange and recognition of cross-cultural artworks in the international art market to celebrate diversity and foster global artistic connections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sneaker-Inspired Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jerry-haha.md) - [Collaborative Monochromatic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-monochromatic-art-exhibition.md) - [Y2K-Inspired Vibrant Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jerry-haha-cherry.md) - [Artist-Focused Luxury Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yayoi-kusama-1.md) - [Weather-Inspired Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weatherinspired-art-exhibition.md) - [AAPI-Honoring Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upon-further-reflection.md) - [Human Duality-Themed Abstract Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passive-aggression.md) - [Toronto Art Wine Colllabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-prisoner-wine-co-and-artist-justin-broadbent.md) - [Airport-Based Retro Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twilight-of-the-warriors-walled-in.md)
