Founded in 1981, Alisan Fine Arts (AFA) has been at the forefront of promoting contemporary ink art locally and internationally, as well as championing female artists, be they emerging or established. To showcase the variety and depth of ink painting, this year’s booth showcases the works of 22 ink artists with a heavy emphasis on female artists, including Fang Zhaoling, and Irene Chou, early female pioneers in the ink movement. With these artists mostly coming from Hong Kong and China, Alisan Fine Arts exemplifies the cultural connection between the entrepot and its motherland. Together, these artists represent the enduring spirit and ever-evolving nature of ink art. Their works, while diverse in style and approach, are united in their reverence for tradition and their pursuit of innovation. They remind us that the essence of Chinese ink painting is not static but is a living, breathing entity, evolving with time yet rooted in centuries-old traditions.
