British graffiti artist Banksy is to make his Asian debut at the Hong Kong Arts Centre next Wednesday.

Love Art, organised by Fabrik Contemporary Arts, is a 'guerilla exhibition' that will feature 25 of his stencil prints including policemen with smiley faces, rats with drills and monkeys with weapons of mass destruction.

Also on show are works by artists Robert Indiana, Damien Hirst, Keith Haring, Romero Britto and Mel Ramos. The exhibition will next move to Schoeni Art Gallery in Old Bailey Street.

The exhibition is divided into two themes - the influence of modern-day pop culture and street art. The influence of pop culture is explored through 30 contemporary works by the artists. Hirst's striking screenprinted Untitled Rocks shows alongside Indiana's colourful The Book of Love. Haring, who started outas a street artist in New York in the 1980s, will be represented by his bold graphic work Silence = Death.

Street art includes works by Banksy. 'We have doors and items [taken off the street] where he has put graffiti,' says Jurgen Abergas of Fabrik.

Getting Banksy's work to show in Hong Kong was a coup for the locally-based Fabrik and the result of its collaboration with the Helium Foundation, which helps clients to build a contemporary art collection.

The elusive Banksy doesn't have an agent and prefers to remain pseudo-anonymous. He first gained notoriety for painting graffiti on the streets of Bristol and then for his stencilled works in places such as the London Zoo and Trafalgar Square. His irreverent graffiti include the Mona Lisa holding a rocket launcher,
