Robert Crooks: Magic in the Making
at The Spectacle Group in Hong Kong
14 November-10 December 2023
“Magic in the Making” serves as a chronicle of Robert Crooks’ 2023 residency with The Spectacle Group. Prior to his residency, Crooks spent two years as the Chief Marketing and Growth Officer at a world-leading institute for expanded consciousness and spirituality.
Crooks’ spiritual quest has taken him to diverse locations, including residencies at Serenity Ridge, Virginia, and the Menri Monastery, a Tibetan Bon monastery in Himachal Pradesh, India. His time at these spiritual centers profoundly influenced his art, resulting in captivating pieces created at both locations.
