It was a smaller showing at Art Basel Hong Kong this year but there was still a lot to see. The following are my select few. Fajdar Sidik's painting is the opposite of melancholy. Set in vibrant yellow it\s evocative of a joyful spirit. Its abstract elements spilling out like rocks from a canyon show an understanding of the playful balance on display in the work.

What's new at Saatchi Art?
There is a great deal of art just waiting to be discovered at Saatchiart.com. And some of it I've included here. Take for example the following collection. In Isabella Tassone's photograph, A boat in the middle of the sea, there is mystery in the still waters that draws the viewer closer to the subject matter. Black and white photography is impactful and it's on full display here. Meanwhile Pia Stojkovic's abstract work rendered in yellow shows the vibrancy of her art. At the same time, it's scribbles bring to mind the work of Cy Twombly. Curiously, the collection of art below displays many Canadian artists. Marina Egorova is one, and her landscape painting is reminiscent of the types of scenery you can expect in Canada. Moreover, Sergey Tolmachev's bold photography displays fluid materials juxtaposed against one another in a sea of red and yellow. We cannot tell what he's photographing exactly but we can appreciate the result

Yin Zhaoyang, White Mountain Spring
Yin Zhaoyang is a Beijing-based artist whose art is often seen at auction. This painting lush with greenery and red earth speaks in abstracted ways. Bold yet closely aligned with its natural habitat the work is a beautiful rendition of Chinese landscape.

Arco Madrid Art Fair 2021
The Arco Madrid Art Fair 2021 had a fine showing this year. From Erin O'Keefe's spiral Spread artwork to Anastasia Samoylova's photography there was a great deal to see. Erin O'Keefe sculpture showed a whimsical unity that showcased vibrant colours together with subdued ones. Meanwhile Ms. Samoylova showed exactly why her work deserves recognition. It is simply eye catching and raises discourse. Other works that captured my attention were Iris Schomaker's Yellow Pullover and Abraham Lacalle's Ladrido. Their use of colour brought a dramatic scheme to the former and a dynamic finish to the latter. Overall it was a good show, and you can see other works here below.
