Strong Singapore Representation
From the neighbouring country Singapore, as many as 9 galleries are participating, forming the second biggest exhibitor group, such as the esteemed Art Asia X, Art Xchange Gallery, ArtBlue Studio, Cape of fine Hope Art 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 numerous nationalities. Art Xchange Gallery mainly represents Indonesian artists; ArtBlue Studio mainly represents Vietnamese artists; Kato Art Duo mainly represents Japanese artists; REDSEA Gallery used to showcase functions by French, Russian, and Spanish artists, but will be debuting with Korean and Indonesian works this round.

Foreign Asian exhibitors include Hong Kong’s Chit Fung Art to display top-notch level Chinese ink masters including Jia Youfu, Pan Gongkai etc; Korea’s Zoom Gallery, in collaboration with Nine Gallery, presents fascinating works of strong Korean identity. Meanwhile, from Japan, in addition to the frequent exhibitor LSD Gallery, two other galleries namely Gallery UG and SHINSEIDO will probably be joining for the first time. From Taiwan, the 91-year-old Taiwanese Chinese ink Grandmaster Prof. Li Chi Mao will probably be exhibiting few pieces of recent works.
Spain’s ATR Gallery booth is visitors’ all-time-favourite booth. Be mesmerized from the latest works of Spanish sculptor Jesus Curia, and pieces by Spanish master Joan Miro, of course, if lucky enough, otherwise 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 the country.
Moreover, there is also the National Exhibition of China, presented from the Ministry of Culture China, that showcases Three or four Chinese contemporary ink artists, at a huge exhibition part of 420 sqm. However, the usual China Pavilion will shrink down in dimensions, having 5 different groups participating only, so the China representation isn’t too overwhelming.
