Tour & Taxis Avenue du Port 86c 1000 Brussels, Belgium

The main stand will feature works by contemporary artists from around the world including Chun Kwang Young (b. 1944, South Korea), Leonardo Drew (b. 1961, USA), Golnaz Fathi (b. 1972, Iran), Gonkar Gyatso (b. 1961, Tibet, China), Antony Micallef (b. 1975, UK), Gatot Pujiarto (b. 1970, Indonesia), Qian Jiahua (b. 1987, China), Qin Yufen (b. 1954, China), Ren Ri (b. 1984, China), Su Xiaobai (b. 1949, China), Sinta Tantra (b. 1979, USA), Thukral & Tagra (b. 1976 & b. 1979, India), Yang Yongliang (b. 1980, China), John Young (b. 1956, Hong Kong), Zhou Yangming (b. 1971, China), and Zhu Jinshi (b. 1954, China).

At the stand, abstraction in its various forms, languages and geography is placed in dialogue with each other in an attempt to expand our understanding of this term. Cultural background and generational disparity affect how artists approach their work, including the use of material and composition, among other differences. Qian Jiahua, Ren Ri, and Yang Yongliang are three emerging artists who demonstrate varying perspectives, using subtly ungeometric shapes, the movement of worker bees, and photographic montage on Song dynasty paintings in their respective expressions. Newly part of the Galleries’ stable, their works resonate with the presentations by Leonardo Drew, Golnaz Fathi, Antony Micallef, and Sinta Tantra. Two works by Thukral & Tagra, whose solo exhibition is currently on view at the Galleries’ Soho space in Hong Kong, will also be on show.
