Alisan Fine Arts is delighted to announce our participation in Art Basel’s first iteration of Online Viewing Rooms, a new digital platform designed to connect galleries and collectors from around the world.

For this inaugural edition, we will be showing artists who strive to revolutionize and reinvent the classical format of traditional ink art while still rooted in the ink tradition. Included are prestigious Chinese diaspora artist Walasse Ting, internationally acclaimed artist Xu Lei, Zhang Yu, Nan Qi and Lan Zhenghui from Mainland China, Hong Kong sculptor Kum Chi-keung, emerging female artists Zhang Yirong and Zhang Xiaoli and multi media artist Zhang Jian-Jun as well as American artists Barbara Edelstein and Michael Cherney, both who work and live in China.

These artists collectively stand at the forefront of a movement to take traditional ink painting into a new era, pushing the boundaries of what defines and determines contemporary ink art.
