How do you adapt?
We just participated in the Arts of Miami, Basel [Beach]We show Chinese art because I think I have a responsibility, but I don’t want to show that. I show it to international artists with Chinese artists. When you go to the art market, you want to have a cultural conversation.
What will you showcase in Basel Hong Kong Art?
During the expo, at our Hong Kong Gallery, we will showcase the German Chinese artist Su Xiaobai who uses paint as a medium. His work proves that abstraction is not a market trend in the past, but a powerful and constantly evolving language. He will showcase a new series. Many Chinese or international collectors are waiting to see his works.
In Art Basel Hong Kong, we will showcase two other Chinese artists Zhu Jinshi and Zhu Peihong. Along with Nigerian artist Alimi Adewale; Slovakian artist Michal Korman will also hold a solo exhibition at our Shanghai Gallery during the expo. Antony Micallef; Mr. Doodle (also known as Sam Cox); and Damian Elwes.
Do you have a feeling that Hong Kong is back?
I think when we talk about Hong Kong, we have to talk about the city that regards itself as an Asian financial center. During Covid, many expats left Hong Kong and only some returned. In addition, the United States has stopped investing heavily in China, so many of the funds have been withdrawn. But I think geopolitics has solved some problems lately.
