When The Standard's Tiger Circle community meets the whimsical characters of Japanese artist Hidenori Oguri (Hidy), the world of urban art collides with the ultimate Tongue Twister Challenge.
GURIGURI is more than just a character; it is the soul of the contemporary Toy Art movement. Born from the sketches of Hidy’s childhood, this spirit embodies the beautiful contradiction between innocent imagination and urban rebellion.
Since 2016, GURIGURI has evolved from a 2D concept into 3D sculptural life. From its pioneering debut at the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre to sold-out exhibitions in Taipei and Bangkok, the long queues and "Sold Out" signs are a testament to the global resonance of Hidy’s unique worldview. To honor the spirit of the Tiger Circle challengers who push their boundaries, Hidy has specially created five exclusive, hand-painted Tiger Circle collaboration artworks.
Each piece bears Hidy’s original signature. For true collectors, these are not just artworks—they are "invisible tickets" into the world’s most elite art circles, carrying immense cultural and collectible value.
Whether it is Jackson Wang’s linguistic precision and professional attitude during the Tongue Twister Challenge, or Hidy’s own obsessive craftsmanship as a self-taught artist, these works represent the "Individual Spirit" of the Tiger Circle community.
