New York

Alisan Fine Arts is pleased to present A New Horizon, featuring artists Fong Chung-Ray and Hung Hsien. Both artists immigrated to Taiwan as teenagers and later settled in the US, where they reside today; Fong in California, and Hung in Texas. Fong and Hung were part of the Fifth Moon Group, a prominent Taiwan art collective that promulgated a move towards modernism while retaining a clear Chinese identity. The focus of this exhibition, however, is the evolution of each artist’s work during their subsequent time spent in the US. Both were influenced by their new surroundings, and as their styles matured, they introduced elements of their cultural tradition in different ways, each creating their own unique contemporary artistic language.

Founded in 1981 in Hong Kong, 2026 marks the 45th anniversary of Alisan Fine Arts. To commemorate the occasion, we have organized a series of exhibitions across our various gallery locations and at art fairs under the theme of “Then and Now”. Here at Alisan Fine Arts New York, our focus will be on the Chinese Diaspora artists with whom we’ve worked since the gallery’s early years, alongside a new generation of contemporary artists. Organized into three galleries, the exhibition centers on three themes: Reinventing Tradition, featuring the work of Lui Shou-Kwan, Wucius Wong, Yang Jiechang and Yang Yanping; New York, featuring the work of Walasse Ting, Ming Fay, Chinyee; and Home and Abroad, featuring artists Chu Chu, Fu Xiaotong, Summer Lee, Justin Lim, Yifan Jiang, and Jia Sung.
