Five special projects

This year, we’re presenting five immersive installations, inviting visitors to step inside to engage with the work and experience how art can reshape the way we see the world.

  • Hong Kong singer and actress Stephy Tang brings her newest artworks to Affordable Art Fair 2026. Exploring human connection with emotional resonance, she extends her creative language onto the canvas, translating rhythm, feeling, and intuition into fluid abstraction.

    Guided by her belief that “Art, at its heart, is an act of giving,” all proceeds from this exhibition will be donated to the Hong Kong Cancer Fund, supporting families and individuals on their healing journey.

  • Created by Hong Kong artist Wesley Wong, who is now based in Taiwan. Her works explore the use of transparent paint on a mirrored surface to evoke the traces of rain, building each mark drop by drop delicately.

    For Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong 2026, Wesley will be bringing in her newest work, Mirror in the City, an immersive installation inviting you, the viewer, into an inner space, offering a fleeting solace and becoming a part of the work engaging between rain and the inner-self, navigating the visual interplay between stillness and transformation.

  • Step into the classical Eastern garden, where a single flower holds a world, and a single tree reveals enlightenment.

    Artist Yihan’s practice reimagines the ancient literati’s spiritual haven: a garden not just of rocks and water, but of infinite expanse within finite walls. Through installation and two-dimensional works, she invites you to wander, observe, appreciate, and contemplate. Constructing an intimate domain for the mind to travel through mountains and waters, where the view transforms with every shift of gaze.

  • This special project features a series of acrylic palace fans co-created by 4 Hong Kong female artists: Liu Jia, Yipang, Peggy Choi, and Yvonne Chow.

    Using contemporary ink and mixed media, they break from tradition. Their compositions span vast oceans, surging waves, open horizons, and tranquil skies, forming an innovative screen. Diverse forms of water mirror the essence of womanhood:

    This installation uses water’s many guises to celebrate the feminine spirit, highlighting endurance, flexibility and inner strength. It also reimagines traditional screens and palace fans, showcasing contemporary female artists’ profound exploration of freedom and heritage.

  • Step into Isaac Spellman’s illustration as he transforms our café space with his illustration filled with vibrant colours, intricate patterns, and imaginative compositions.

    The “Red, White, Bright and Young” collection was to illustrate Bright Young Things from London in the roaring 20s, a group of individuals from the social elite and aristocrats, named by the tabloid for their lavish and decadent lifestyle.

    Through the Red and White party, which was their last gilded moment before the fall, the last glittering prelude to the Great Depression. Beneath the sparkle, we all knew it was just a facade, a time of anxiety masked by opulence, an uncertain age trapped in a golden cage. But at least in that moment, for just one night, life was beautiful.

Four exhibitions in focus

Chasing Colours by Derry Ainsworth

Pieces of Hong Kong

This year, we are debuting our new Photography Feature “Pieces of Hong Kong,” with six Hong Kong-based photographers: Derry Ainsworth, Jeremy Cheung, Sean Foley, Marcel Heijnen, Jay Khan and Calo Yuen. Capturing the fleeting moment in the city through their lenses, forming a mosaic of Hong Kong’s visual identity, fragmented, layered, and distinctly alive.

British Consulate: Brit-ish

Curated by our UK Fair Director, Hugo Barclay, in partnership with the British Consulate General Hong Kong, this exhibition brings together 15 artists from the United Kingdom — from emerging graduates to senior established names.

Juxtaposing different generations creates a dialogue of mutual illumination, exploring the fluidity of cultural identity. Set against Hong Kong’s unique cross-cultural convergence, the exhibition asks: How is belonging formed? Through exchange. Through encounter. Through the willingness to embrace multiple truths.

Kollective: Showcasing Local Talent

Featuring 5 local artists, Pen So, Chen Xi, Kwong Kwok Wai, Liu Yu‑Chi, and Joe Li, Kollective pays tribute to long-term gallerist and Affordable Art Fair supporter Cecilla Koo.

For decades, Cecilla has been a driving force in Hong Kong’s art community. With her unwavering commitment to contemporary art, she has nurtured both established and emerging artists, championing their voices. Kollective celebrates her enduring influence, honouring the passion and dedication that she has contributed in Hong Kong’s cultural landscape.

Young Talent: No-Rise?

Curated by International Art Exchange, No-Rise introduces five local rising artists whose work explores transformation, memory, and identity.

This exhibition captures the creative energy of Hong Kong through five emerging voices. Affordable Art Fair creates a space where individual voices can coexist without hierarchy, nurturing new perspectives so the next generation of artists can be seen, heard, and celebrated.
