“At the Asia Contemporary Art Show we strive to provide a unique platform for fostering engagement with art and those who create it, the popular Artist Dialogues sector offers viewers a diverse and unique artist experience.” remarked Show Director Mark Saunderson. “Artist Dialogues presents intimate art spaces where new and seasoned collectors or art enthusiasts can connect one-on-one with artists. In this private environment, viewers can learn about the inspiration and artistic practice of each artist, gaining a deeper understanding of the modes, methods, and motivations that go into creating art. On show will be a series of works including paintings ranging from landscapes to abstracts, from mixed media to ceramic sculptures.”

“The 14th edition will feature a variety of artists both up-and-coming and established, working in a variety of mediums and many of whom are new to our Show. We are excited to present Ran Qiquan whose paper and pigment artwork shows a brand new artistic texture after recombination, accumulation and extrusion, GALASASCHA whose oil painting series “The Face” is inspired by visually oriented apparitions of quasi-fictional faces, and Yoo, Sun-Tai, one of South Korea's most sought-after contemporary artists whose works are instantly recognizable, to name a few.”
