The Malaysia bandwagon, the largest delegation, may lot of reputable exhibitors and also beginners from my art scene. These galleries will represent over 100 local artists, an excellent blend of pioneer artists, superstars, established and emerging young artists. The Malaysian works usually receive well response and good remarks from the visitors. Having a strong pool of local collectors specifically collecting Malaysian Art, it’s expected the sales of Malaysian Art would be excellent.
Strong Singapore Representation
From my neighbouring country Singapore, up to 9 galleries come to mind, forming the second biggest exhibitor group, which include the esteemed Art Asia X, Art Xchange Gallery, ArtBlue Studio, Cape of Good Hope Memorial, Kato Art Duo, Maya Gallery, REDSEA Gallery, The Gallery of Gnani Arts, and White Space Art Asia. It’s quite common that galleries in Singapore represent artists of numerous nationalities. Art Xchange Gallery mainly represents Indonesian artists; ArtBlue Studio mainly represents Vietnamese artists; Kato Art Duo mainly represents Japanese artists; REDSEA Gallery utilized to showcase functions French, Russian, and Spanish artists, but will be debuting with Korean and Indonesian works this round.

Meanwhile, from Japan, in addition to the frequent exhibitor LSD Gallery, two other galleries namely Gallery UG and SHINSEIDO will likely be joining the very first time. From Taiwan, the 91-year-old Taiwanese Chinese ink Grandmaster Prof. Li Chi Mao will probably be exhibiting few components of recent works.
Spain’s ATR Gallery booth is visitors’ all-time-favourite booth. Be mesmerized through the latest works of Spanish sculptor Jesus Curia, bobs by Spanish master Joan Miro, of course, if lucky, or even sold yet, pieces by Picasso!
There will also be an Embassy Zone, which sees participation from 13 Embassies, i.e. Argentine, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, France, Iran, Italy, Mexico, Mongolia, Philippines, Romania, Russia (debut appearance). Each Embassy proudly represents one selected solo artist looking at the country.
Moreover, there is also the National Exhibition of China, presented through the Ministry of Culture China, that showcases Three or four Chinese contemporary ink artists, at a huge exhibition section of 420 sqm. However, the typical China Pavilion will shrink down in dimensions, having 5 different groups participating only, so that the China representation isn’t too overwhelming.
