Tawan Wattuya is known for his unique approach to watercolor and thought-provoking subject matter. His choice of water color as a medium is a deliberate attempt to convey the speed and dynamism of contemporary Thai society. With experience of art residencies in several countries in Europe, the US, Asia and South America, Wattuya has chosen to view his homeland from a distance, studying the social and political situation from afar in order to bring to his work more layers of understanding and deepness. His works have been exhibited extensively in Bangkok, Singapore, Beijing, Paris, New York, Tokyo, Brisbane, and Brussels. He was also nominated in the Painting category in 2016 Prudential Eye Awards.

Born in a place surrounded by lush nature, and growing up feeling the beauty of greenery and water on his skin, Kazuya Sakamoto describes his choice of depicting waterweeds as a necessity, and as an act to question his own raison d’etre. The plants that intricately intertwine in his paintings, combined with the thick application of the paints, cause the viewers to feel as though they are drawn into the water. The weeds are meticulously painted and multiply through sheer physical repetition, and they appear to depict the very process of evolution based on the constant alteration to support life. At the same, they also bring to mind the diverse eco system in the globalized contemporary society, in which competitive advantage is formed by the various differences that exist between individuals

Born in Guangdong Province in 1935, Chu Hing Wah moved to Hong Kong with his family in 1950. Although deeply interested in painting in his youth, Chu Hing Wah chose to train as a psychiatric nurse, pursuing his degree at Maudsley Hospital in London from 1960 to 1965. From this time on, his professional career and his art-making developed side by side. In 1992, Chu Hang Wah retired from the nursing profession and has been working as a full-time professional artist ever since. Chu uses Chinese pigments and ink applied with the technique of layering and diffusion to express his care for human feelings and the affairs of human life. Chu’s style and technique have the innocent quality of the primitive painter, but at its core, his art is infused with a sophisticated understanding.

Luis Chan was an eccentric Hong Kong genius who, as one of the first generation of Chinese modern painters, has become legendary in the history of Chinese contemporary art. The full corpus of Luis Chan’s work in his long artistic life is breathtaking in scope. Chan was born in Panama in 1905 to Cantonese parents and settled in Hong Kong with his family in 1910. From his first solo debut exhibition in 1933 until his final show in 1993, Luis Chan presented 47 solo exhibitions over his long career and published countless articles on modern art. The Power Station of Art, the first state-run museum dedicated to contemporary art, presented a major retrospective exhibition for Luis Chan from March to June 2019, featuring more than 100 pieces of works.

Patricia Piccinini is one of Australia’s most-important artists known for her hyper-realistic and enigmatic sculptures that depict hybrid humanoid creatures. Rendered in materials such as fibreglass, silicone and hair, her works explore the dynamics of our relationship between families and species, science and nature, art, and the environment. Selected to represent Australia at the 2003 Venice Biennale, Piccinini created We are Family, a project that transformed the Australian Pavilion into a home of the future. Piccinini’s fast growing reputation is evident in solo exhibitions at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Centro de Artes Visuales, and Artium Museum amongst others.

Jason Wee (b. 1979, Singapore) is an artist and a writer working between contemporary art, architecture, poetry and photography. His art practice contends with sources of singular authority in favour of polyphony and difference. He transforms these histories and spaces into various visual and written materials, and is keenly interested in their secrets and their futures, their idealisms and their conundrums. Wee is the founder and director of Grey Projects, an artists’ space, library and residency that focuses on curatorship, new writing, design propositions and art. Wee has exhibited at Para Site, Hong Kong (2021), the Chelsea Art Museum and Asia Society Museum, New York, USA (2006, 2020), ArtScience Museum, Singapore (2019), Singapore Art Museum, Singapore (2015) and amongst others.

Alvin Ong (b. 1988, Singapore) is a graduate of the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford, UK (2016) and the Royal College of Art, London, UK (2018). Characterised by fluid compositions and surrealist forms, these dreamy, introspective paintings draw from the artist’s lived experience, as well as his own fertile imagination. Oscillating between restlessness and desire, the figure is presented as a site of metamorphosis: distorting and colliding with one another, as though wrought by internal conflict. Flowing forms fuse the external with the internal, accentuating the relationship between the mind and body, capturing the ephemerality of a collective psyche.

Spain, 1962. Lives and works in Madrid, Spain.
Lacalle’s raw landscapes are unconventional. His pieces do not put the focus on beauty, although it exists, or an idealized vision. The undergrowth, the mud in rivers and roads, the broken or dry trees, the waste elements that nobody wants to appear in his images of natural landscapes in this society of appearance, play a preponderant role in his works.
Lacalle is one of the most outstanding artists on the Spanish scene. He has exhibited in the most prominent cultural institutions and galleries, such as Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; CAAC, Seville; Marlborough gallery, Barcelona, Madrid and New York; Nova Invaliden Galerie, Berlin; CAAM, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria or CAC Málaga.

Germany, 1972. Lives and works in Seville, Spain
Sanchez’s work is full of contemporary iconography, texts, forms and color, creating very complex compositions which don’t leave any viewer indifferent. His search is not one of a story teller but rather an architect of forms, diluting the differences between abstraction and figuration. The narrative is not the search but rather the excuse.
His work has been individually exhibited in institutions as CAC M laga and he has participated in many important international fairs such as MACO 2013, Art Stage Singapore 2013, Art Monaco 2013, India Art Fair 2013, Contemporary Istanbul 2012, Art Toronto 2012, Art Moscovo 2012 and Beirut Art Fair 2012.
