$ 8,000
Presented by Project Native Informant
New York-based collective DIS probes the contradictions of contemporary culture. Formed in 2010, after the fallout of the 2008 financial crisis and global recession, DIS as an entity has typified the aesthetic, cultural, political and economic impact of those events. In November 2024 they will present their latest work Everything but the World at MoCA Busan, Busan.
Supawich Weesapen, Starry Sight, 2024
Under $10k
Presented by Nova Contemporary
A highlight of this year's Focus Asia section, Supawich Weesapen explores the intersections of natural, mythical, and cyber phenomena, creating works of enigmatic energy and radiance. His paintings allude to RGB colour effects, which have been identified as the subconsciously engrained palette of our current age. While probing our technological present and future, Weesapen also looks towards the spiritual and sublime.
Brandon Tay, EMULATOR (Orgonomic Effigy), 2024
Under $10k
Presented by Yeo Workshop
One of many artists invested in Southeast Asia’s growing tech landscape, Brandon Tay explores sentient life and new creature forms using cutting-edge technology. Tay’s latest video EMULATOR (2024) and 3D-printed mixed media sculpture showcases an expanding practice in new media, employing technology as an assimilator for the past and the future.
Jonathan Lyndon Chase, quiet static, 2023
$ 6,500
Presented by Sadie Coles
Set in both private and public spaces, Jonathan Lyndon Chase’s drawings on paper portray everyday scenes of leisure. Their subjects are playing basketball or captured in close proximity – that celebrate the Black Queer experience of love, sexuality, subjectivity, identity and the profound depth of the capacity for intimacy.
Ryoko Aoki, one of the central figures of experimental art scene in Kyoto of the late 1990s and early 2000s, has developed an almost conceptual approach to figuration that investigates how images shape, reflect and alter our perceptions.
Rolph Scarlett, Untitled 5, ca. 1949
Under $10k
Presented by ACA Galleries
A highlight of the Frieze Masters section of the fair, Rolph Scarlett was a key figure in the New York School of Abstract Expressionists. Scarlett avoided any reference to the outside world and believed that non-objective painting was an act of 'pure creation’.
Nell, The ghost who walks will never die (sunshine #13), 2024
$ 4,500
Presented by Station
Nell’s interdisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, performance, installation, video, wearables, collaborations, community projects, and public art. With a distinctly Australian perspective, Nell draws upon art history, popular music, and spiritual traditions to highlight the interconnected nature of our experiences. Nell introduced ghosts into her practice after a period of self-investigation and psychotherapy, choosing to recognise her own ghosts rather than banish them.
Yang Bo, rootless, 2024
Under $10k
Presented by Yutaka Kikutake Gallery
Chinese artist Yang Bo constructs magical images drawing on memory and personal landscapes. In this multimedia painting, the Bo depicts houseplants as a symbol of ‘nature under human control’ . ‘A plant intentionally cut from the middle of the trunk to the roots can be read as either resistance to control or a threat to life.’
Andriu Deplazes, Körper mit Spatzen (Body with sparrows), 2024
Presented by Galerie Peter Kilchmann
The dramatic imagery evoked in Andriu Deplazes' works draws on various manners and moods of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Western painting and alludes to the environmental crisis and to the aggressive exploitation of resources.
