Affordable Art Fair is celebrating its 10th anniversary in Hong Kong. The fair team invites visitors back to discover the joy of collecting art at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 18 to 21 May 2023. With the return of international travels, this unmissable edition will showcase an exciting and diverse line-up of galleries, artists and creative projects.
Why it matters:
為令此屆博覽會更豐富，藝博會提供一系列趣味和互動兼備的項目和活動，邀請入場人士親身參與。今年的「Young Talent Hong Kong」展覽項目由HKwalls策展，將聯同本地年輕及新晉藝術家於博覽會上展現本地藝術力量。「特別項目」將帶來大型裝置和藝術表演，以香港的歷史、藝術與文化為題，邀請了一眾藝術家展示他們對這座深受喜愛的城市的熱愛和情感。以教育為其核心價值之一，Affordable Art Fair也強調藝術教育的重要性，提供工作坊和導覽，以培養和激發年輕一代對藝術的熱愛。
This year, a wide array of programmes and projects will be presented as part of an interactive art journey. Young Talent Hong Kong, curated by HKwalls, spotlights works by passionate young and emerging local talented artists. Special Projects are set to bring along large-scale installations and art performances that pay homage to Hong Kong, inviting artists to showcase their love and passion for this much-loved city. With education as one of its core values, Affordable Art Fair also emphasises the importance of Art Education, bringing workshops and tours to foster and inspire young people to fall in love with art.
5 Hightlight Artists:
．張鈺的作品廣泛涉及各種類型的視覺藝術。多樣性的創作風格充分展現出她的多才多藝。雖然她的作品皆獨樹一幟，但它們全都由一雙充滿激情的手創造。大膽的色彩運用，令每幅畫都得以喚起激盪的情感。眾多作中有些絢麗多彩，有些則簡潔有力，生動的故事躍然在一幅幅的畫布上；
．Lingmuki精通油畫、國畫、水彩畫、電腦繪圖等，而世界各地上的藝術博覽會和畫廊皆有展出她獨具匠心的藝術作品。Lingmuki 的作品不僅在各類刊物上刊登，同時亦接受來自世界各地公司和個人委託和合作；
．謝敏行主要以鉛筆、蛋彩、水彩、可回收物料、手工紙等綜合媒體創作。她的畫作中展現鉛筆筆觸的輕柔脆弱同時也能描繪出嚴肅議題的剛毅；她的作品探討逃避現實與重新排列的視覺語言。由童年記憶、旅行印象和夢境所啟發的矛盾圖像交融碰撞，創造了一幅福超現實的記憶拼貼。
．Andre Tan的作品常被視為與普普藝術和流行文化中的複製圖像相關聯，以廣告和大眾傳播的商業風格呈現。他的藝術品以鮮豔的色調探，索流行符號和文化意象，以大量圖案、層次和非一般的並置方式表達；
．Kin的作品相當歡快和以超現實主義為主，具有一種有趣味的感染力。他的藝術經常以擬人動物和異世界生物為特色，處於夢幻般的環境中，這些環境暗示了一個超越我們自己的世界。他的藝術作品充滿童趣和想像力，讓人既著迷又舒緩。
．Yuho Chang’s paintings are full of variety. From abstracts to inks, her versatility as a visual creator truly shines in the diversity of styles. Each painting features bold colors to convey and evoke a sense of emotion;
．Lingmuki is experienced in using different mediums, including oil painting, Chinese painting, watercolour drawing and digital drawing. Her artworks have been exhibited at art fairs and galleries worldwide. With her works being featured in various publications, Lingmuki has also been taking commission projects and collaborations from companies and individuals from all over the world;
．Sarah Tse brings an array of paradoxical patterns and images that evoke a delicate, nostalgic and often disturbing ambience to her drawings. Images of square robots, towering stacks of teacups, innocent woodland creatures, and sensuous blooming roses are omnipresent;
．Andre Tan’s work is often viewed in relation to the sensibilities of Pop Art and of reproduced images from pop culture, in the commercial style of advertising and mass communication, his artworks explore popular icons and cultural motifs under a bright colour palette, in a smorgasbord of patterning, layering and unlikely juxtapositions;
．Kin‘s work is distinctively cheerful and surrealistic, with a playful quality that is infectious. His art often features anthropomorphic animals and other worldly creatures in dreamlike settings that suggest a world beyond our own. There’s a sense of whimsy and wonder in his art that is both captivating and soothing.
