The Masters’ Series focuses on three highly respected artists, paying tribute to those who have had a profound influence on the art world. Wong Hau Kwei, a contemporary ink master from Hong Kong, known for his innovative approaches to ink painting that depict the city’s urban and natural landscapes, breaking away from traditional methods. Jove Wang, a Chinese contemporary ink and oil painting master based in the United States, whose works blend the essence of Eastern and Western art. Cho Yeou Jui, an acclaimed female artist from Taiwan, known for her photorealistic style, who perfectly combines realistic imagery with poetic abstraction.
On the occasion of the 10th Anniversary of ArtNext Fair, ten outstanding young artists who joined previous editions, are specially invited to showcase their works at ArtNext Fair 2025, revealing their latest artistic developments and achievements. Through the section ArtNext Decade, we can gain insights into the cultural characteristics and artistic orientations of these Hong Kong young artists. The ten most noteworthy emerging artists include Edward Cheung, Fung Chim, Halley Cheng, Kasper Forest, Angel Hui, Sue Lai, Abby Lee, Stephen Wong, Aries Wu, and Ross Yau.

ArtNext Fair is not only a celebration of visual arts but also a platform for cultural and spiritual convergence. This year’s event introduces a cross-disciplinary project—Zen·Art Series, curated by spiritual teacher Hera. Through deep experiences such as the aesthetics of flower arrangement, mindfulness, and singing bowl meditation, audiences can achieve a balance for their body, mind, and spirit while appreciating art. Additionally, the ArtNext SHARE project will host a series of art lectures, workshops, and live demonstrations to promote communication and dialogue among artists, collectors, and the public.
