ARTHK11 is bringing a new section to the table this year - Asia One. Exhibits will be by artists of Asian origins, and the section will act as a platform to showcase the vibrant and exciting developments in the Asian artistic circle. This piece by Miki Taira looks like a baby trapped inside a test tube, which reminds me of Lydia Tong and her Bonsai Kitten.

Selcuk Artut's photographic print gives an impression of a suburban Russian girl doing some household chores, but with a slightly eerie twist.

Fung Ming-chip's Chinese painting has an unconventional form of presentation, putting the calligraphy on top of the drawing.

Wu Jian-an's paper cutting comes across like a Hinduism worship piece, with patterns resembling henna tattoos.

Lu Hao's silk print of Berlin somehow comes across like a reflection Pyongyang, with all the town planning set in a standardised and squared manner. The exhibition comes with a guided tour organized by Para/Site Art Space. For more in-depth details on the art works displayed, remember to sign up at the Info Point on-site. There will also be a printmaking workshop ran by the Hong Kong Open Printshop over the weekend, so be sure to drop by Booth X13 in Hall 3 to create your very own print!
