From 20 January to 15 February 2022, Gallery by the Harbour presents Garfield x Plastic Thing “GARFATTY BELLY LAUGHS” Art Collaboration, laughing at the interesting daily life of Garfield and Fatty, who both love to eat, sleep, play and have big bellies. Apart from walking into their creative and happy world, the fans of Garfield and Fatty can also purchase a series of limited-edition artworks and premiums for “New Year Lucky Gift”. We can make wishes at “Garfield New Year Blessing Garden” at Atrium of Ocean Terminal, ask for fortune in the coming year and pray for good luck under the Wishing Trees. In addition, we can take photos with Daruma Garfield and Tiger Garfield, to celebrate the Happy Fatty New Year!
Harbour City has transformed atrium on G/F of Ocean Terminal to the “Garfield New Year Blessing Garden” , where a 1.5m high Tiger Garfield and 1.6m high Odie greet everyone in the garden. You can ask for fortune in various aspects like academic, health, friendship, pet, family and love at the Chinese Candy Box shaped Lucky Wheel.
Whateversmiles is an online art and handicraft platform that provides opportunities for artists and designers to develop new art and products with recognised intellectual properties. The platform is celebrating its 1st anniversary and hosts Garfield x Plastic Thing “GARFATTY BELLY LAUGHS” as the finale of the brand’s celebration campaigns at Gallery by the Harbour. This unprecedented line-up is the first ever art collaboration of Garfield and Plastic Thing, which will launch a series of limited-edition artworks and premiums for “New Year Lucky Gift”. The collaboration is about a girl and a cat. They come from two different worlds – Nickelodeon’s Garfield and Fatty, the little girl character created by Plastic Thing founder- Miss Yan Ip. Yet they have the same approach to life: they love to eat, sleep, and play, and they both have big bellies too! And now with this mashup, let’s see what interesting things can happen! No matter how different they are, what remains the same from beginning to end is that they both want to bring joy to everyone. The art collaboration showcases 4 collections, which is simple and pure. We hope everyone will be happy to see them. The art collaboration is the first start between Ip Yan and Whateversmiles, there will be more to come in 2022. Stay tuned!
