ART SG 2026

Then

Our booth lineup includes Lui Shou-kwan, the founder of the New Ink Movement in Hong Kong, and Fang Zhaoling, one of the most prominent modern women artists and student of renowned painter Zhang Daqian, canonical artist of twentieth century Chinese ink painting; alongside two notable Chinese diaspora artists in New York, Walasse Ting and Ming Fay. Walasse Ting embodies the essence of ink while merging art movements like Pop art and Abstract Expressionism. Ming Fay, on the other hand, uses sculpture to express the relationship between humanity and nature, a concept often explored in traditional Chinese ink painting. Kan Tai-keung, a protégé of Lui Shou-kwan, illustrates natural elements like pine trees, mountains and clouds with deconstructed calligraphic strokes.

Now

We also showcase several mid-career artists: Wei Ligang’s innovative approaches to calligraphy introduce fresh lexicons to a traditional medium while Wang Mengsha adopts a sense of humour to combine aspects of traditional paintings of court maidens and beauties with landscape paintings. And Fu Xiaotong, who employs her signature pinhole technique in her landscape compositions, merging grand narratives with intimate expressions of feminine resilience. Among the artists working in Hong Kong, Lin Guocheng and Wai Pong-yu share a strong affinity for sketching and penmanship, while Yau Wing-fung reinterprets classical landscape painting through the lens of modern scientific imagery. The collaborative works of Man Fung-yi and Mok Yat-san infuse sculptural practices with spiritual themes in their incense-burn-mark landscape paintings. Cheuk Ka-wai specialises in Chinese Gongbi painting and attempts to rejuvenate this traditional Chinese art form in the contemporary world. Her compositions are often filled with symbols, memories, and subjects inspired by her personal experiences and emotions. Angel Hui is fascinated by daily objects and often discovers new meaning in them by twisting traditional art forms, particularly in her blue and white porcelain series, where she appropriates common materials to incorporate them into her artwork. Hui will represent Hong Kong at 2026 Venice Biennale. Our booth presentation not only honours our rich history of promoting Chinese contemporary ink but also presents compelling visions for the future rooted in this lineage. It also marks Cheuk Ka-wai Cherie, Angel Hui, Wai Pong-yu, and Yau Wing-fung’s debut at the art fair.
