Yuan-wen Wang

Yuan-Wen is an artist originally from Taiwan who has been living in Barcelona since 2008. Her abstract paintings are a unique blend of her Asian roots and the diverse experiences of living in different cultures, with varied expressions that aim to connect with audiences. For Yuan-Wen, painting is a record of her inner life experiences and emotions, inspired by the landscapes, dance, the universe, and the world around her.

Jean Nagai

Jean‘s art is deeply informed by the spiritual relationships between people and their landscape, and he uses (his words) “a simple painting technique to suit the shifting perspective between subject and environments, the balance of chaos and peace.”

Walasse Ting

has recently been the subject, belatedly in the opinion of some, of a retrospective. A colorful and wide-ranging retrospective of the Chinese American visual artist and poet might finally change that. The show, titled “Walasse Ting: Parrot Jungle,” opened on November 10 at the NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and sheds light on an artist who spent nearly five decades living and working in Europe and United States across several styles and movements (he made both figurative and abstract works), but whose impact and influence was often overlooked.

Xuan Chen

Design Milk points to Xuan Chen’s iPad-sized, abstract paintings and wall sculptures play with the concepts of light, space, movement, and color.

Kim Tschang-Yeul

For 2023’s ADAA The Art Show, Tina Kim Gallery presented a historical presentation highlighting two seminal Asian and Asian-American artists: sculptor Minoru Niizuma (b. 1930, Tokyo; d. 1998, New York) and painter Kim Tschang-Yeul (b. 1929, Pyongannamdo; d. 2021, Paris). When Kim moved to New York in 1965, Pop Art prevailed as the artistic lifeblood of the city. It was in New York that Kim began his earliest experiments into painting the bulbous abstract forms that would later lead to his signature style—the waterdrop.

Dai Ban

shows with Carrie Haddad. About his work he says the form comes first and he avoids “intentional thoughts. What happens then seems to emerge from some deep subconscious reservoir: maybe from childhood, maybe from an unconscious feeling in the moment, maybe from something beyond this lifetime.”
