Participating Artists
Jordi Diez Femandez (Spain)
It’s my first time ever to Asia, and I feel so happy and recognized to see the public in Taiwan enjoy and respect my artworks. It’s my pleasure to take part at the A.R.T.. To me, Taiwan is young, full of creativeness, kindness and hospitality, which delights me a great deal. I went the western art fairs, but felt the concepts were limited, and refrained from being fully expressed. People in Taiwan are respectively open-minded, which makes me feel that Taiwan is a fertile land for further developments.
Denis Mikhaylov (Russia)
It’s my first time to Taiwan with my wife and daughter. I found that many visitors are interested in contemporary arts, which is great indeed. The display of paintings at exhibition was nice, and visitors were almost twice in number compared to my last exhibition in Singapore two weeks ago.
Khaled Zaki (Egypt)
It’s my first time to Taiwan, a great rich journey, which made me happy. Even my works have been exhibited at different places around the world, it’s still a joyful experience to exhibit here. The VIP Preview itself was an amazement. Visitors of different age groups came for artists from many countries with artworks in great varieties. It’s similar to the Venice Biennial. I hope the A.R.T. would continue to expand, and to become one of the most significant international art events. I’m happy to be here.
Alfonso Cuñado Rodríguez (Spain)
I’ve been at the A.R.T. for 3 years in a row. The organizer has remained the same well-disciplined, the venue clean and professional as well; it’s not easy to be even better. It seems everything is under control and in great order. The staff were so enthusiastic, I could sense their kindness, joy and hospitality. Sometimes collectors and visitors would ask for photography and signature, it’s so friendly. Artists spend most of their time alone at the studios, it’s kind of lonely; on the other hand, it’s very important to have someone who enjoys the artworks for artists. Actually, artists communicate with people via their paintings as the media. Visitors to the A.R.T. are enthusiastic to arts, which is so obvious.
Richard Young (U.K.)
The organizer is getting more rigid about the artworks selecting. I’ve developed new topics especially for the A.R.T. both this year and last year. It’ been joyful to have my works accepted and recognized by collectors, which indicates this working approach successful.

This is my first time to Asia, and Taipei as well; here, I feel the enthusiasm from people in Taiwan. I was so happy about the very impressive and crowded VIP Preview.

The crowd emerged at the VIP Preview was such a big surprise to me, as I never saw so many people, not even on weekends. It’s not that important for artists if people buy their works; it’s more important to have so many people watch my works. I enjoyed this exhibition so much that I’d like to come to Taiwan again.year, and more competitive.

It’s not only an access for the public in Taiwan to talented artists’ outstanding works, for enhancing the cultural embedment and essence; but also a successful civil diplomacy to present the ethos of cordial Taiwan to so many artists from different countries.
According to Mr. John Cheng, Executive Director of A.R.T., for the 5th edition of this fair, there are 278 artists from 62 countries displaying nearly 2,000 artworks, works that are diversified in style, expressive medium, local characteristic and cultural value. He said: “The scale of exhibition has been enlarging, while the organizer upholds the same aspiration to arrange all details as the very first time. We are striving to gather artworks from various countries, in order to bring more pluralistic art forms to the public.”
To embody the theme of “Enjoy Art‧Enjoy Happiness”, by interpreting the sense of surprising happiness, the organizer sets up an installation art “Paradise Garden” on site to deliver the aura of happiness, designed by Chi Yun, the globally well-known floral art master. It is hoped that the installation of “Paradise Garden,” featuring an arched roof and floral columns, will indulge the visitors with the sensation of savoring artworks in a garden.

Known for his techniques in fine steel and welding, Jordi Diez Fernandez had been invited by Loewe, a Spanish brand name in luxury goods, to create fine steel sculptures. Russian artist Denis Mikhaylov, the First Prize winner of London Art Biennale 2015, will exhibit artwork that refreshes the classical painting motif with contemporary thinking to address his style of humor, artwork that wins appreciation from collectors around the world. With a Ph.D. in physics, German-born sculptor Julian Voss-Andreae creates with metal to couple traditional sculpture art with frontier science, the quantum physics. As to Marina Marina, a talented young artist from Russia, her figurative portrayal conveys a very romantic sensation. The international-renowned French photographic digital artist Gregoire A. Meyer will also exhibit; he depicts varied aspects of human body developed from a palette of metallic texture, revealing visual complexities on the surface which mirrors the complexity of emotion from within. Piotr Lesniak from Poland exhibits his portrait created with the art of orotone photography, very unique.
Spaniard Art Zone
The Spaniard Art Zone showcases the artists led by the Spanish ROSA art group. While Martín Ballesteros is known for his surrealist style, Tore Hogsdvet’s artwork features harmony and balance.

Curatorial Classics
Art Director Lee Sun-Don will exhibit with works specifically created for A.R.T. 2015, a time-transcendental series entitled “The World in Hand.” To challenge the human limits, he brings new life to fossils that predate human existence by millions of years with contemporary sculpture art—they are truly museum-class collectibles.

International Contemporary Art
This section invites artists from around the world to demonstrate cultural pluralism in the performance of art and to promote Taiwan’s dialogue with the international art circles. We specially design a unit “The Greats vis-à-vis the Greats” to highlight artists with exquisite skills and distinguished styles. Alfonso Cuñado, for example, specializes in using scraper and color to create images with dynamic perspective; he had participated in A.R.T. twice with all his exhibited artworks claimed and collected. There are also Carlo Mirabasso, whose surrealistic style is characteristic of hilariousness and humor; Alex Alemany, who merges realism with fantasy beautifully; and Yuki Yamamoto, who is known for his use of circles upon circles and the alteration of light and shade. Kirk Bauer, Patricia Van Lubeck, Maciej Gador, Ricardo Celma, Modesto Trigo Trigo, and Alexis Alemany will also exhibit in this section.
New York Contemporary Art Fund
New York Contemporary Art Fund has contributed to the development of contemporary art since its establishment. This year, it will present Peter H. Harskamp and Richard Yong—both are very well-received in Taiwan’s art circles. Reputed as “Picasso of the Netherlands,” Peter Harskamp is known for using geometrics to bring out the dynamism and life of the objects created, whether sculpture or painting. Richard Young, with a background in British Royal Academy, is versed in capturing a dancer’s elegance, her beauty and power. The other exhibiting artists include: French artist Thibault Jandot, who paints on the motif of animal with his bold and yet academia-tinged delicate brushstrokes; Alex Bertaina from Italy, who deconstructs and rearranges the light and shade of the image in order to catch the rhythm and bring forward the brightness, and Turkish Hasan Kirdi, who uses realistic techniques to portray an ordinary scene of every life. There are also István Cene gál, Yelena Dyumin, Sergio Martinez, Jose De La Barra, and so on.
International Artist Salon
This is a brand new section, with artists selected from the finalists of last year’s International Artist Grand Prize Competition.

Among those are Sanzi, Chen Erfu, Chen Li, Li Xianzhao, Qiu Shengxian, Zhang Yuying, Mu Xi, Zhao Jinyi, Xiong Tianxiang, etc. Sanzi’s artwork reveals a secular-transcendental sentiment, the change and transformation of the universe and all existences within. By contrast, Qiu Shengxian’s work manifests an infusion of oriental classics and modern fashions. Muxi, named as one of China’s most promising female painters, integrates Chinese traditional brushworks into western composition ideas; her creation is poetic and aesthetic-oriented. Xiong Tianxiang has a special feeling for train; his work is romantically nostalgic. Zhao Jinyi addresses his growing process through the image of a little blue man, demonstrating a style full of interests and humors.

Hsu Tung-Rung uses calligraphic brushwork to add an oriental touch to his oil painting. Lu Tsung-Tsan fills his painting with nostalgic sentiments; his work always grabs attention from the art lovers. Cheng Chen-Wen, who recently won the First Prize Award in French Water Color Competition 2014, embeds his emotions in his exquisite brushstrokes, emotion that is deep and yet resilient. Wang Wen-Tsung, winning bronze medal in French Artist Salon 2014, has a talent for capturing the Mother Nature’s composedness and profoundness. As to Wu Wen-Lung, his glue painting of the delicate Japanese lady looks so lively and vividly attractive. Artwork by Walasse Ting, a master in Chinese modern art history, will also be exhibited.
Contemporary Ink Painting
Contemporary ink painting is a new spotlight in modern times. Here you will see Liao Meilan’s literary and philosophical reflection under the tip of her brush, and Li Liang’s composition inspired by western landscape drawing coupled by the techniques of traditional ink painting. You can also behold the ink painting infused with modern sentiments created by Lin Xiangyuan, who had been invited to exhibit in Musée du Louvre of Paris; the artwork that hides reality in emptiness and emptiness in reality by Sha Qinghua; and a refreshing style, thanks to its contemporary elements, developed by Wei Yichen.
