Artist @c_huen reflects on the many layers of reality, a process which results in deeply personal paintings. The quotidian scenes rendered by the Hong Kong-born artist are familiar, unrestrained, and formed by intuition. Executed using Chinese ink layering techniques and drawing on Western abstraction, the works are firmly located between worlds and cultures – actual or remembered. Click through the [Videos] link in our bio to see the full interview and studio visit on artbasel.com — Presented in partnership with @nowness . #ChrisHuenSinKan is represented by @simonleegallery (London, Hong Kong), @otafinearts (Tokyo, Singapore, Shanghai), and @galleryexit (Hong Kong).

Bamboo sculptures so delicate they seem to float mid-air 〰️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Through tension and balance, artist Laurent Martin 'Lo' creates delicate artworks that are able to be balanced on a single pin. 'I explore bamboo, its balance, lightness, and flexibility,' he explains. 'Its mathematics, poetry, and sensuality. I also work with the air and the light.' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Learn more and find these and other works in @10chancerylanegallery upcoming Online Viewing Room presentation, as part of 'OVR: Hong Kong,' our digital platform concurrent with this year's fair. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Learn more at artbasel.com/hong-kong 🔗 Link in bio. — Shown here: #LaurentMartinLo, 'ongaku' (2022) and 'Heiwa' (2022), courtesy of #10ChanceryLaneGallery for #ArtBaselOVR.

🐙 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A seductive tension emanates from Hannah Levy’s sculpture displayed at the Venice Biennale's Giardini. This untitled work gives the volume of a hiking tent the kinkiness of a latex cape. With its cephalopod shape and fleshy color, it could be a temporary shelter as much as a mutant from another planet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep an eye out for more of Levy's work which will be presented by @caseykaplan this year's edition of Art Basel in Basel! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Click through the [Stories] link in our bio to learn more. — Shown here: #HannahLevy, 'Untitled' (2022).

Soun-Gui Kim created this intriguing work using saekdong, a traditional multicolored fabric from Korea. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Stretching the fabric like a traditional painting, Kim paints a black ink cloud using Korean ink to suggest a view from above the clouds – or perhaps the eye of the storm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This series was conceived shortly after the artist's collaborative performance with Nam June Paik in 1984, underlining the intellectual exchange among the experimental artists during the era. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Learn more about this and other works in @arariogallery 's upcoming Online Viewing Room as part of 'OVR: Hong Kong,' the digital counterpart to our #ArtBaselHongKong show opening soon. — Shown here: #SounGuiKim, 'Saekdong Cloud' (1987), presented by #ArarioGallery for #artbaselOVR.
