Alisan Fine Arts is delighted to announce its participation in Fine Art Asia 2025 with a twofold presentation that celebrates the evolution of contemporary ink art. This year, we honour the 80th birthday of the esteemed calligrapher Wang Dongling, dedicating a special section of our booth to showcase his widely acclaimed calligraphic painting alongside works by his students. Featured artists include Chui Pui-chee who innovatively employs charcoal and gold powder in his calligraphy of contemporary texts and subjects; Ren Tianjin whose compositional experiments render new effects for a classic subject; Chu Chu, whose philosophical approach merges calligraphy and photography; and Huang Ji, from a younger generation, experiments with new visual effects, creating contemporary psychological spaces.
The second section of our booth will present a dynamic array of artists demonstrating the breadth of contemporary ink development across various mediums. Chan Keng-tin captivates with his unique lighting effects in the classic landscape genre, while Chiang Yomei explores meditative practices integrating ink and materials like salt and glue. Lee Chun-yi composes semi-photographic images of flowers. Shi Qi showcases three-dimensional paper sculptures, and Fu Xiaotong employs pinpricks to add dimensionality to her "painting" on paper. Kelly Wang’s new album leaf paintings use ink and paper-fiber residue on kaolin clay panels to evoke fragments of landscapes. Kum Chi-keung's renowned bamboo bird cage sculpture provides social commentary on contemporary Hong Kong, while Zhang Xiaoli offers a contemporary twist on traditional gongbi techniques. Fan Yan’s orange ink creates the rhythm of music, and Xie Xiaoze presents ink and sculptural interpretations of books and ancient knowledge.
Additionally, Peng Wei, Wei Ligang and Huang Ji’s digital works will be included in the INK+ sector curated by Eric Leung. And Lin Guocheng's works are featured in "Back on Paper" sector.
Award-winning photographer Stephen King also presents a photography work paying homage to Wang's “entangled script”.
