Nanke Gallery is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the "Best Booth Presentation Award" at the 2024 ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair. This year, ART021 once again partnered with AD China for the booth evaluation on the fair's opening day. The award was judged by three esteemed experts from the fields of art, design, and architecture: Beryl Hsu, Head of Content at AD China; Wu Bin, founder of WJ Design; and Bao Yifeng, co-founder of ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair. Each judge contributed their unique professional perspectives and aesthetics to select the winning booth.
The curatorial direction of the booth W01 will be "Shanghai Living Room in the 90s". The 90's in Shanghai was a beautiful and visionary era, and the booth will use a lot of wood finishes to recreate the old houses that a generation of people lived in as children, hoping to take the audience back to that gentle and powerful period.
Nan Ke's booth W01 will present two exhibition programmes: the Collectors' Preview Day (11.7 - 11.8) will feature paintings by Killion Huang, Xiaochi Dong and Holden Willard, while the Public Day (11.9 - 11.10) will present a group exhibition of female artists Mengfan Bai, Xueqing Zhu and Yunchun Wang. Killion Huang recreates elements of Shanghai life in a colourful and intense painting style, such as the steel windows and sycamore trees in his images; Xiaochi Dong grew up in Shanghai, and his delicate creative language is rooted in classical Chinese painting. The paintings of Mengfan Bai, Xueqing Zhu and Yunchun Wang can also give a glimpse of the city's gentle imprint on their lives.
