Art Paris, the leading spring event for modern and contemporary art, is making a grand return to the historic Grand Palais from 3 to 6 April. Now in its 27th edition, the fair is bigger and more ambitious than ever, welcoming 170 galleries from 25 different countries—an increase of 34 exhibitors compared to 2024. With a newly renovated nave and expansive balcony spaces, Art Paris 2025 is set to reaffirm its status as a premier showcase for artistic discovery.

These three Thai artists from different eras not only have a global vision, but their works also show the unique imprint of national culture. They vividly portray and present Thailand's society, history and current life from different angles and in their own distinctive artistic language and style, giving us a glimpse of a rich and diverse country that is integrated into the wave of globalization, and is shrouded in the heavy color of tradition and history.

The recent show was held at Tang Contemporary Art, showcasing Ayres' singular development of abstraction as its own visual language.

For Out of Bounds, independent exhibition curator Simon Lamunière has selected 18 international artists from among the exhibiting galleries. He will be exploring contemporary creation as seen through the prism of multiethnicity and the hybridisation of forms and cultures, while addressing questions such as origins, gender, kinship, history and geography. His reflections will give rise to a themed visit and a catalogue presenting the work of each selected artist.

In Song of Hours Fled, Tang Contemporary Art invites guests to walk through the late Gillian Ayres’ first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. Curated by her son, Sam Mundy, the showcase offers a thorough look into the artist’s life.

Gillian Ayres (1930 - 2018) was an influential English painter renowned for her large, vividly coloured abstract works and prints, characterised by thick layers of pigment that draw from diverse styles and movements. Ayres viewed abstract painting as a vital language reflecting the energy of the 20th century and its evolving relationship with nature and society.

As Hong Kong gets swept up in anniversary celebrations for the People’s Republic of China, recent museum and gallery programming reveals the battle for the city’s identity.

“This exhibition reflects my wish for people to slow down, stay present, and reconnect with their surroundings,” shared Benzilla. Through LOOOK, the artist bridges external experiences and internal peace, offering a whimsical yet deep narrative shaped by his encounters with people, events and emotions.

This exhibition reflects the artist's introspection as it spreads from internal contemplation to the external surroundings.

Here Chow reiterates his recurring Hong Kong themes, but in a new incarnation. He creates an unusual, captivating tension between reality and cinematic imagination, and between different eras of the city that continue to coexist in our minds, clashing with the city’s ever-changing landscape.

Her brushstrokes, as if guided by the rhythms of heavy metal and electronic experimental music, dance across increasingly large canvases, leaving behind traces that are at once weighty and ethereal, imbued with profound emotion.

...a style that resonates with Rodel Tapaya’s paintings, presented by Tang Contemporary Art, where animist myths and folktales are enmeshed with historical events and current affairs.

Painting for Martin is performative as both act and stage.
A life within is expected by the very execution of each canvas.
In the artist’s words, “Painting is a lust for the temperance of guile, grace and gravity.”

Even just a cursory glance at Yue Minjun’s “self-portraits” reveals what has made the 61-year-old painter an enduring icon of Chinese contemporary art.

After all, a manic grin plastered on rows of cloned pinkish faces, all with their eyes squeezed shut, is not the kind of image that goes unremembered.

To start off with, it’s my first solo exhibition in China and that makes me very happy. I have taken part in collective shows before and special installations, but to be able to present a vast selection of artworks at Tang Contemporary feels extra special. It brings together textile sculptures and pieces using tiles or ceramic, it’s great to see their dialogue within the concept “Through Mountains and Seas.”

The exhibition presents her spirited stance as she emerges out of the bubble. Her works speak of gathering and cultivating strength -- recognising both its internal and external sources -- and embedding cues on how to go beyond moments filled with self-doubt, anxiety or distress.

Hong Kong is a favourite subject matter for residents Chow Chun-fai and Stephen Wong Chun-hei, who have been friends since art school and have, between them, committed large swathes of their home to canvas.

Gongkan works in various mediums – sculpture, painting, video installations, and motion graphics – and he’s also collaborated with major brands, including Carnival, the Thai streetwear fashion line and, most recently, the South Korean automaker KIA.

Asian galleries have been playing the same game as their Western counterparts, if to less splashy notice in the media: Manila dealers have expanded to New York; Tokyo galleries have opened in Shanghai; Shanghai dealers have spread to Singapore.

He invites the audience to come up with their own unique interpretations, prompting their journey of self-exploration.

Interview with Jeeeun Hong, Art Project & Exhibition Manager of Tang Contemporary Art, at Art Busan 2022.

Are the memories we cherish solid in reality or are they just segments in our dreams? If the latter is the case, isn't our life only a dream within a dream composed of fantasies and memories?

Under the pressures created by the pandemic, Artron has noticed a substantial difference between the development of local and overseas galleries and their responses to the capricious and unpredictable nature of the art market. Whether it be exhibitions or art fairs, galleries overseas have managed to return to the state they were in before the pandemic. On the contrary, the situation of local galleries seem to worsen as they face their toughest times under this year’s hardships.

Adel Abdessemed’s art is elusive and evokes a sense of ambiguity. He does not limit himself to a fixed medium nor artistic style. Instead, he manipulates, stretches and reinvents in a wide variety of approaches, whether that is through films, photography, sculptures, installations, or performances, all while developing a visual language that is unique to him. In some way, Adel Abdessemed’s art is like a Kafkaesque autobiography that documents the violent yet dream-like events that he encountered throughout his life. As a self-proclaimed “action painter”, Adel Abdessemed uses performance art to capture specific moments in time, expressing his strong disapproval of the oppression of individuals by religious and political systems. As the artist said, “the world is the one that is violent, not me.”

Yue Minjun's caricature of a laughing man, said to be both alter ego and self-portrait, became emblematic of the late 20th-century wave of Chinese contemporary art known as political pop.

Random Numbers, the new exhibition by Filipino artist Rodel Tapaya, depicts a chaotic, dense reality where a multitude of fragmented objects and living creatures entwine and decompose. Inspired by Filipino and Mexican mural painters, but also by surrealist artists, Tapaya draws a carnivalesque portrait of the Philippines and, beyond, of our contemporary societies driven by excesses and never-ending consumption.

A curated selection of outstanding artworks by renowned local and international contemporary artists is exhibited during the pop-up exhibition "The Space Between Us II" which is running at Iconluxe, 1st floor of Iconsiam, Charoen Nakhon Road, until March 3.
