Salute to Hong Kong Heritage Buildings – Oil Street Art Space

2022
This is one of the "Salute to Hong Kong Heritage Buildings" series painted by the artist - Oil Street Art Space (Oi!) Is an art space developed with an aim to promote arts and provide venues for exhibitions. It is located at 12 Oil Street, next to the now demolished Government Supplies Department. Oil Street Art Space came from the name of the street, Oil Street. It is also a greeting to call people to participate in art events. In Cantonese, the Chinese name of it 油街實現 is a homonym of its address (“12” is a homonym for ‘release’). The present building of Oi! is the former clubhouse of Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club from 1908 to 1938, which had been listed as a Grade II historic building since 1995. Later, it was used as the Government Supplies Department until 1998. In 1990 to 2000 it was the Oil Street Artist Village, and further changed to a storehouse of the Antiquities and Monuments Office until late 2007.
