At Art Taipei 2020, Asia Art Center presents a curated exhibition of 3 sections that offers works from ten artists. Artist LI Chen curated a section to demonstrate and explores his philosophical thinking about time and the changes in life. The subtopics include ethic, family, and the mindset that had been turbulent but now reset in the present with a renewed young spirit. The exhibiting sculptures include: “Offering” (2006), “Interdependence”(2017), “Life in Repose (I)”(2018) and “Life in Repose (II)”(2018) as well as the latest paintings from Ethereal Cloud series.

The international artist section is part of our long-term project since the 90s. In recent years, AAC has successfully entered the international art scene and has reached a fruitful result of representing Japanese Mono-ha masters and SEA artists. With years of preparation, we are honored to present a group of artists from Japan, Europe, and UK in our booth, including blue-chip artists KOSHIMIZU Susumu and MATSUTANI Takesada and the uprising stars Ben EDMUNDS and Marius BERCEA.

As well as LEE Tsai-chien’s iconic red sculpture “Minimal to Infinite” (1983) which had gained international reputation since its debut in the 80s.
