Fairly that galleries in Singapore represent artists of numerous nationalities. Art Xchange Gallery mainly represents Indonesian artists; ArtBlue Studio mainly represents Vietnamese artists; Kato Art Duo mainly represents Japanese artists; REDSEA Gallery employed to showcase operates by French, Russian, and Spanish artists, but will be debuting with Korean and Indonesian works this round.

Spain’s ATR Gallery booth is visitors’ all-time-favourite booth. Be mesmerized by the latest works of Spanish sculptor Jesus Curia, bobs by Spanish master Joan Miro, and if fortunate, otherwise sold yet, pieces by Picasso!
There will also be an Embassy Zone, which sees participation from 13 Embassies, i.e. Argentine, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, France, Iran, Italy, Mexico, Mongolia, Philippines, Romania, Russia (debut appearance). Each Embassy proudly represents one selected solo artist from the country.
In addition, there is the National Exhibition of China, presented by the Secretary of state for Culture China, that showcases Three or four Chinese contemporary ink artists, in a huge exhibition area of 420 sqm. However, the standard China Pavilion will shrink down in size, having 5 different groups participating only, so your China representation isn’t too overwhelming.
