Contemporary highlights include a new work by George Condo titled Pink and White Profile with Green Eye – an outstanding example of Condo’s ability to powerfully capture the paradoxes and contradictions of the human mind and condition through an eye-catching blend of abstraction and figuration.

Curator Style

In Art Central 2022, Curator Style presents a star line-up of four established and emerging artists, including Cypriot artist Andreas Stylianou, and Japanese artists Yayoi Kusama, Yoshitomo Nara, and Chiharu Shiota. These artists elevated their voices and exerted significant influence on the contemporary art world. Their creations speak vigorously and harmonically towards one another in many senses and ingeniously express the reflective theme, Searching the Soul, through their techniques.

de Sarthe

Home Sweet Home: Pandemic Love 3, 2022 by Mak2; Acrylic on canvas; ©Mak2. Image courtesy of de Sarthe

Hong Kong-based gallery de Sarthe showcases a series of imagined spaces that speculate alternative paradigms beyond the existing boundaries of physical reality. Featuring works by contemporary artists Mak2, Zhong Wei, and Lin Jingjing. The featured artists offer three different approaches to modern escapism, all of which cater to humanity’s determined refusal to accept reality as is.
