  • Highlights include a large-scale six-metre wide painting Zonguldak (1978) by Georges Mathieu, which was part of a series of seven works Mathieu specially created for his major retrospective at the Grand Palais in Paris in 1978. The paintings of this period exemplify the lyrical abstraction principles that favoured speed, intuition and free expression initiated by this pivotal figure in Art Informel.

    Oswaldo Vigas
    Ancestral, 1976
    oil on canvas
    195 x 133cm

    Born in Valencia, Venezuela, in 1923, Oswaldo Vigas was an active member of the Parisian avant-garde art scene between 1952 and 1964. Much of his production has also been informed by folk tales and the Venezuelan indigenous mythology. Ancestral (1976) is a painting whose white elongated core suggests the shape of a pre-Columbian Venezuelan female deity generally called 'Tacarigua Venus'. This painting could be considered a homage to the first inhabitants of the region, in a way, his true spiritual ancestors.

    Rouge, la Révolution, 1989
    oil on canvas
    120 x 210cm

    Being one of the few French-Chinese multidisciplinary female artists in the 20th century art history, Lalan developed her unique aesthetics combining the influence of oriental painting traditions and the Art Informel abstraction. In Rouge, la Révolution (1989), she transformed bodily gesture into expressive brushstrokes, embodying the influence of her background as a highly accomplished musician and dancer.

    Melody of Ink under Gold Shine II, 2022

    Contemporary Chinese artist Li Huayi manifests his aesthetic innovations in the new work Melody of Ink under Gold Shine II (2022) through the incorporation of gold into ink painting. The unique synergy of intertwining tradition and contemporary is projected through the striking tonal contrasts between the glowing golden hues from the antique Japanese gilded screens and the sophisticated ink and brushstrokes, infusing the work with light and boundless space.

    Table of the Water, 2017
    oil on canvas
    195 x 130cm
    Considered to be among the most accomplished artists from the Arab world, Ziad Dalloul uses visual and sensory abundance to probe the boundaries between the natural and metaphysical worlds, applying the symbolism of static objects, lived spaces, and the ever-changing nature to open up pathways between the visible and the imagined, as in the oil painting Table of the Water (2017).

    As one of the pioneers in the Chinese Pop Art movement, Xue Song mixes ashes and found images to form collaged compositions to reflect his perspectives on social and cultural issues. Since 2019, inspired by the philosophical concept that 'Dao models itself after nature', Xue Song has shifted his focus to the abstract representation of the natural world, as in the new works - The Dao from Nature Series – Blossoms (2023) and The Dao from Nature Series – Harvests (2023), to envision the endless cycle and Dao of nature.

    The sculpture At Cugan (2012) created by Chi Wing Lo, a multidisciplinary artist, architect and designer, embraces ideas and possibilities from ancient and modern cultures to evoke a poetic tension. Made with maple wood and oxidised bronze, his sculptures are characterised by a search for timelessness and permanence, moving freely between the realms of the past and present, and the familiar and unknown.

    Nicolas Party' s pastel work Portraits (2014) is rendered in richly saturated hues with painterly precision. He conveys his figures as impossibly flat whilst simultaneously achieving uncanny volume and shade, which amplify their physical presence and emotional resonance, emanating a fantastical, mysterious and vibrant energy.
