Featured Artworks by International Artists
Korea, YOO Sun Tai, My Garden, Acrylic On Canvas, 40 x 32cm
Yoo’s painting always presents a confrontation between two poles: the Orient and West, nature and architecture, the temporary and the permanent, speaking and writing, the interior and the exterior, artificial and natural objects, etc. As a self-portrait, the bicycle rider is the meditator in these situations.
Korea, YANG Hyun Jun, Adult Child (Pippi), Acrylic On Korean Paper, 91 x 72cm

POON Kwing Wing started work as an graphic designer with Shaw Brothers (HK) Ltd. In the 1980s Poon travelled extensively between mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Poon was the first artist ever to exhibit photographs of Taiwan in Beijing and also the first ever to exhibit photographs of Beijing in Taiwan. He currently lives in Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Vancouver and still works on art and design projects especially those supporting the creative sectors and children’s charities.
Hong Kong, Chee-mun Yung, Swamp, Ink & Colour On Paper, 140 x 70cm Each
Yung focuses on ink painting. The creative concept behind his landscape painting is to hold together the classical philosophy of the ancient Chinese scholars’ use of ink. He pursues the philosophy inspired by Du Fu’s poetry : 水流心不競，雲在意俱遲.
His works integrate this invisible spirit into the landscape, turning the turmoil of real life into a world of quiet and serenity. He uses Eastern and Western art materials and techniques to create his own rich colourful paintings imbued with a sense of Chinese fusion. His landscapes depict a fairy tale – like Chinese utopia based on natural scenes from his recalled memory.
Hong Kong, Rebecca Hon, Lotus Zen, Ink and colour on paper, 138 x 66cm
Rebecca specialized in using ink and mix-media as a language; to reconstruct different materials and images. She use arts to reveal her own point of view about life, environment and future. To remind people that beauty exists always but usually being ignored in our daily life, and hope people could try to enjoy their lives after seeing these artworks.
Indonesia, Erica Hestu Wahyuni, NoahArk, 70 x 80cm
Erica’s paintings are usually unpretentious expressions of herself and they reflect her experiences and interests. Her art may be childlike, but they are certainly not simplistic. Each work contains interesting narrative qualities, which reveal the worldview of the artist. Erica’s naive, playful renditions have ascertained her reputation as one of the most sought-after contemporary artists in South East Asia.
Russia, Yulia Shautsukova, EmotiveDreams, Oil On Canvas, 50 x 60cm
Yulia’s paintings transfer the best of Russian oil painting techniques into modern art. Her work explores the relationship between colours and emotions inspired by the organic forms found in nature. The vibrant colours in her work stimulate the emotions of each viewer to drive their own interpretation creating a unique inner world.
French – Filipina, Adeline Buenaventura, Jungle pop Panda, Shifu, Resin, Fiberglass & Marble powder, Ltd 8, 40x40x40 cm, 6kg
Self-trained artist, passionate for colours and graphics, inspired by “pop art”, Adeline designs, draws, and paints free hand with always bright and eclectic colours on her cheerful sculptures made of resin and fiberglass, and infused with voluptuous roundness and sensual lines with a very elaborate glazed surface, the ultimate originality of her work is also in the amazingly smooth deep aspect of each sculpture, which once finished looks as if it is blown glass or porcelain.
