For its fifth edition, HASHT-ART examines the place of Asian art and its market this year. Between history, traditions and innovations, emerging and confirmed Asian galleries and artists continue to make their own mark in the worldwilde art market, through exhibitions and fairs.

According to the latest Artprice World Market report, China and the USA are tied on the market: "In the soft-power that opposes the Republic of China to the USA, the balance has never been so perfect, never have the two balance sheets been so close both in terms of volume of transactions and turnover. ” Each year, since the rise of the Chinese Art Market, one of the two superpowers necessarily took over the other. But in the first half of 2017, the difference is so little that it is impossible to decide between them.

Today, China accounts for 29% of the world market. A question then arises: how will this year present the fairs that show artists, galleries and Asian collectors? FIAC, ASIA NOW, YIA Art Fair, museums, galleries, the range of possibilities is very wide.

This important period in the art market is an opportunity to take the temperature of the market, meet galleries and their new selections, and follow future sales and artists that will be best sold this year.

For its new special issue, HASHT-ART reveals this month selections of Asian galleries presented at Parisian fairs, new Asian artists, and Parisian galleries specialized in Asian arts, searching innovation, blending Asian antiques rich of history with contemporary works realized by confirmed or emerging artists.

& SELECTION

October 18-22, 2017

For its 3rd edition, ASIA NOW hosts some thirty Asian and Western galleries, recognized as the most influential in the field, and for their support to contemporary artists from Asia.

ASIA NOW insists on the value of artists coming from a group of more than 10 countries, and presents the new perspectives and stakes of the contemporary Asian art market: the artists' value, and their potential for development. ASIA NOW reaffirms its determination to decipher this Asian art scene, to understand its evolution, its transformations, its stakes and above all its true nature.

This fair is an ideal platform for dialogue and exchanges devoted to contemporary Asian creation. This year, the Korean artistic scene is being further developed, with a special program coordinated by the Korean curator Joanne Kim in collaboration with the curatorial team of the Busan Biennale.

Among the regulars of fair, Magda Danysz (French gallery based in Paris, Shanghai and London), renewed the experience with a selection of artists, focused on the Asian garden. This garden, anchored in Buddhist philosophy, conceals details that the visitor does not see at first glance, but then leads to various interpretations, and inner meditation. The selected artists are Liu Bolin (opposite), Zhang Dali, The Parisian gallery Maria Lund also brings an original artistic touch to the fair. For this 3rd edition, the gallery presents three Korean artists whose works have in common a great sensuality and a form of animality. The artist Min Jung-Yeon (opposite) explores the fluctuating space of memory through memories of places and specific situations, imaginary and incursions of reality. Another artist Yoo Hye-Sook, guided by intuition and instinct, leaves forms and questions emerging from matter. Marked by humor, Shoi's works are based on memory, emotion, the reactivation of memories, and obey a subjective logic, an expression of personal mythology.

Through their unique use of images, these artists ask the question of the understanding of culture and identity, in an increasingly globalized world.

Tang Contemporay Art (installed in Beijing, Hong Kong and Bangkok) exhibits a selection of paintings and sculptures by three Chinese Post-80 generation artists: Zhao Zhao, Cai Lei and Huang Yishan. These artists explore the notions of "oneself versus geographical understanding", and how their generation is understood and positioned by the society. The exhibition also features a recent watercolor by established artist Wang Yupin.

J: Gallery (Beijing, China) presents the works of artists Cai Zebin, Guo Cheng, Hou Zichao, Li Tingwi, Pu Yingwei, Shen Han, Shi Yiran, Wu Xinmo, Xie Kan, Xie Yi, Zheng Mengzhi and Zhong Yunshu. Their works show a critical singularity and representation, with a variety of media, including paintings, sculptures, installations and video.

JAYASHREE CHAKRAVARTY

From October 18, 2017 to January 15, 2018

For this fifth edition of 'Carte Blanche', the MNAAG welcomes the Indian artist Jayashree Chakravarty with a vegetable plant, a monumental structure offering the possibility to penetrate there. An unprecedented opportunity to show a living and organic work, inspired by the world of insects. Echoing the forms of scattered shacks in the city of Calcutta, the artist questions the fragility and vulnerability of the outdoors, the houses representing the cocoons or the protected houses.

Earth as Haven, or "the land as refuge", refers to paradise, a utopian desire to find fertility, protection and resource. The 17 large rolls of paper, arranged as a continuous curtain, transform the circular space of the rotunda of the museum, creating an immersion in a natural environment.

Playing on the camouflage, often defying the naked eye as a microscopic examination, the scent and sensuality of the earth are palpable. The movement of life and the silence of the world operate alternately and the strange beauty of this haven of peace arises. As for the living of the works, the omnipresent light crosses them and plays on the vegetable material used: flat layers of Nepalese paper, very fine cotton, leaves, branches, weeds, clay, View of the exhibion « Earth as haven » by Jayashree Chakravarty © Jayashree Chakravarty / Courtesy Akar Prakar Art clay, aluminum rods or strips, etc. Photography : Pierre Primetens

With the backdrop of nature as capacity for regeneration, the different layers of matter evoked reflect the inexorable movement of life. The insects, more and more numerous, are in proportion to the disaster. Their presence, like a signal, symbolizes the awareness of a programmed disappearance.

Between cocoon and chrysalis, the installations on the floor made of cotton paper, like a gauze, appear both solid and fragile. A whole naturalistic work appears and reminds us of the feeling of the ephemeral.

Through these poetic evocations, the artist questions the vulnerability of the earth and emphasizes the urgent need for an ecologically sustainable lifestyle.

LEE UNGNO

Man of crowds

From 9 June 9 to November 19, 2017

Until November, the Cernushi Museum exhibits the Korean artist Lee Ungno, one of the most important Asian painters of the 20th century, at the crossroads between the Far East and , past and present.

The links between Lee Ungno and the Cernuschi Museum are the result of two significant movements: the opening of the museum of contemporary Asian art in the post-war period and the arrival of major Korean artists in Paris since the 1950s. From the founding of the Academy of Oriental Painting in 1964, Vadime Elisseeff, director of the Cernuschi Museum, played an essential role in the formation of the association's patronage committee. The exchanges between the artist Lee Ungno and the Cernuschi Museum intensified, since every week, starting in 1971, the artist gave appointments to his students at the museum, where he taught until his death in 1989.

Since 1971, the Cernuschi Museum has hosted the Oriental Painting Academy founded by Lee Ungno, and has in its collections 130 works produced between 1953 and 1989. A selection of 82 of them, enriched with five loans, is the introduction ideal for an abundant work and communicative energy.

His subsequent integration into the Paris avant-garde alongside Hartung, Soulages and Zao Wou-ki was accompanied by a teaching of ink painting that inspired a whole generation of artists.

In France, where he settled in December 1959, he became one of the members of

His contribution to the renewal of ink painting, after the partition of the peninsula in 1953, and his work on the Foules, perceived as one of the symbols of the democratic transition, naturally associates it with two key moments of the recent past of his native country and now justifies his status as a major Lee Ungno, Crowd, 1985 representative of the Korean artistic Ink on paper, 150,5 x 82,5 cm © Musée Cernuschi / heritage Roger-Viollet - Adagp, Paris 2017

HOM

NGUYEN From October 14 to November 25, 2017

In October, A2Z Art Gallery, located in the Saint-Germain-des-Près district in Paris, showcased a well-established artist in the art market in France in recent years: Hom Ngyuen, a French artist of Vietnamese origins. A feature of his art is his energetic pencil stroke, whereby he explores through his works the depths of human nature.

Following his introspective approach, Hom Nguyen progresses in his initiatory path and sets out to meet his origins, deeply rooted in his inner self. The exhibition "Trajectoire" embodies the moment of life that everyone has known, knows and still knows where the choices we are confronted disrupt, shake us up and push us to grow. Many scenes of life rise to the surface and reveal glances, cries, anxieties, smiles, joys and silences. Hom's memories intersect and collide like everyone else. The more mature look and the more assertive feeling gradually carry away the heavy emotions of the past.

The homogeneous gesture of Hom Nguyen, still more liberated and aerial in comparison with the previous series, continues to travel on the surface of the canvas in search of something: the origin of his being. The artist explains that today we are what we decided to be. But, at the source, we all have one thing in common: our referent. A hero for a little boy, a grandmother for a father. A mother for the artist.

"Trajectoire" then illustrates this universal transient psychological state in which our mind encounters physically or psychologically its referent. Everyone travels to his destiny and continues to create bonds with the other. In this release, Hom Ngyuen's regressive, emotional and more mature gaze identifies the child who grew up in him with his mother. She talks to her child and takes her hand.
