The 10th edition on this yearly art fair features 60 established and reputable art galleries / groups from 30 countries, exhibiting 2,000 bits of artworks (including paintings, sculptures, installation, photography) of varied style, expression and medium, under one roof.
The longest-running art fair in South-east Asia, malaysia art exhibition has become the public-friendly art fair in the world, mainly because it does not charge any entrance fee, Free Admission since its inception in 2007! (Entering art fair in Singapore would cost about RM 80; entering art fair in Hong Kong would cost about RM 135)
The Malaysia bandwagon, the largest delegation, will have a lot of reputable exhibitors as well as new players from our art scene. These galleries will represent greater than 100 local artists, a fantastic mixture of pioneer artists, superstars, established and emerging young artists. The Malaysian works usually receive well response and good remarks from the visitors. Using a strong pool of local collectors specifically collecting Malaysian Art, it really is expected the sales of Malaysian Art would be excellent.

It is common that galleries in Singapore represent artists of varied nationalities. Art Xchange Gallery mainly represents Indonesian artists; ArtBlue Studio mainly represents Vietnamese artists; Kato Art Duo mainly represents Japanese artists; REDSEA Gallery employed to showcase operates by French, Russian, and Spanish artists, and can be debuting with Korean and Indonesian works this round.

Foreign Asian exhibitors include Hong Kong’s Chit Fung Art signifying top-notch level Chinese ink masters like Jia Youfu, Pan Gongkai etc; Korea’s Zoom Gallery, in collaboration with Nine Gallery, presents fascinating works of strong Korean identity. Meanwhile, from Japan, besides the frequent exhibitor LSD Gallery, two other galleries namely Gallery UG and SHINSEIDO will probably be joining for the 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 from the latest works of Spanish sculptor Jesus Curia, and pieces by Spanish master Joan Miro, and if fortunate enough, otherwise sold yet, pieces by Picasso!
You’ll also have 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 from the country.
Moreover, there is also the National Exhibition of China, presented with the Secretary of state for Culture China, that showcases 3 or 4 Chinese contemporary ink artists, at the huge exhibition area of 420 sqm. However, the most common China Pavilion will shrink down in size, having 5 different groups participating only, in order that the China representation isn’t too overwhelming.
