Strong Singapore Representation
From my neighbouring country Singapore, as much as 9 galleries could happen, forming the second largest exhibitor group, including the esteemed Art Asia X, Art Xchange Gallery, ArtBlue Studio, Cape of Good Hope Gallery, Kato Art Duo, Maya Gallery, REDSEA Gallery, The Gallery of Gnani Arts, and White Space Art Asia. Fairly that galleries in Singapore represent artists of various nationalities. Art Xchange Gallery mainly represents Indonesian artists; ArtBlue Studio mainly represents Vietnamese artists; Kato Art Duo mainly represents Japanese artists; REDSEA Gallery accustomed to showcase functions by French, Russian, and Spanish artists, but will be debuting with Korean and Indonesian works this round.
Foreign Exhibitors
Off their aspects of Southeast Asia, Myanmar is presented by Colour Cube Art Gallery, first-time participant; Thailand is presented by Top rated Gallery; Vietnam is presented by Viet Art Space, debut appearance on this art fair; Indonesia is presented by REDBASE Contemporary Art, first-time participant, which will be showcasing an amazing interesting sculpture at the main entrance of the exhibition hall (you will be impressed!)
Foreign Asian exhibitors include Hong Kong’s Chit Fung Art that is representative of top-notch level Chinese ink masters for example Jia Youfu, Pan Gongkai etc; Korea’s Zoom Gallery, together with Nine Gallery, presents fascinating works of strong Korean identity. Meanwhile, from Japan, apart from the frequent exhibitor LSD Gallery, two other galleries namely Gallery UG and SHINSEIDO will likely be joining the first time. From Taiwan, the 91-year-old Taiwanese Chinese ink Grandmaster Prof. Li Chi Mao will probably be exhibiting few items of recent works.
Spain’s ATR Gallery booth is visitors’ all-time-favourite booth. Be mesmerized with the latest works of Spanish sculptor Jesus Curia, bobs by Spanish master Joan Miro, and if lucky, if not sold yet, pieces by Picasso!
You’ll also have an Embassy Zone, which sees participation from 13 Embassies, i.e. Argentine, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, France, Iran, Italy, Mexico, Mongolia, Philippines, Romania, Russia (debut appearance). Each Embassy proudly represents one selected solo artist from its country.
Additionally, there is the National Exhibition of China, presented by the Ministry of Culture China, that showcases 3 to 4 Chinese contemporary ink artists, at the huge exhibition division of 420 sqm. However, the most common China Pavilion will shrink down in size, having 5 different groups participating only, so that the China representation isn’t too overwhelming.
