The contemporary art market in Southeast Asia is newly emerging within the global art-loving community.
Artists from Southeast Asia are gradually asserting their valuable presence, as more of their works appear in famous art fairs, private collections, and museums around the world.
Currently, Southeast Asia’s economy is developing at a rapid rate. As countries are steadily becoming more wealthy, people have been paying more attention to art. Governments have been investing heavily in arts and culture.
Most of the countries in Southeast Asia were once European colonies, and it is easy to detect these influences in the art. However, Southeast Asia consists of countries with many different cultures and each country has its own distinct character.
The population of Southeast Asia is growing rapidly, with a heavy concentration of young people. This
new generation brings fresh perspectives and is producing many extraordinary emerging artists in the international scene.
The mission of the Tobian Art Gallery is to find and empower new emerging talents on a global scale. The founders are familiar with Southeast Asia and have been collaborating with artists from Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Laos since the day Tobian Art Gallery opened. SPRING is the new collection of artworks on display from April 1st at the Tobian Art Gallery.
It is a way to celebrate the coming season through the vibrant colors and the precious artworks of a group of talented emerging artists from Southeast Asia.
This group exhibition aims to showcase the talented young artists we collaborate with, hoping to bring to Florence a bit of the poetry, color and energy we experience each time we visit their world! Among the names of the artists already known by the gallery friends, there will be on display the artwork of Diamond, Sunchai, Popkapi and Murdika.
