Asia Now Paris 2022: Feux de Joie

20 - 23 Octobre 2022
Présentation
Ora-Ora is pleased to announce its participation in the 8th edition of Asia Now, which takes place in Paris between 20-23 October 2022. This edition marks Ora-Ora’s (Booth H07) first showing at Asia Now and the first time the fair will take place at the Paris Mint, La Monnaie de Paris, itself housed in an 18th century palace on the left bank of the Seine.
 
Asia Now 2022 is subtitled “Feux de Joie” (flames of joy), which simultaneously alludes to numismatic metallurgy and to an artistic community gathering around a creative fire. The theme ignites shared passions and feelings of mutual respect and warmth. Responding to this call for global unity, Ora-Ora’s participation in Asia Now marks its first European fair since the advent of the global pandemic. Ora-Ora recently took part in KIAF in Seoul in September 2022.
 
In the words of Ora-Ora CEO and Co-founder Henrietta Tsui-Leung: “Whilst no reason is ever needed to visit Paris, we are sparing about which art fairs we take part in. Asia Now is an intercontinental conversation we wanted to be part of. We and our artists are looking forward to contributing.” On exhibiting in Paris, Dr. Tsui-Leung remarked: “The role of Paris in the genesis of modern art needs no introduction. Its history, reputation, and impact on major Asian artists continues apace. As an Asia-based gallery, we are delighted to continue an international exchange which has never been anything but fruitful.”
 
Ora-Ora is one of five Hong Kong-based galleries to be represented at Asia Now, which is this year under the artistic direction of Kathy Alliou, Director of the Artwork Department at Les Beaux-Arts de Paris. At Asia Now, Ora-Ora’s commitment to intellectual curiosity and artistic innovation will be evidenced through a range of creatively resourceful and restlessly dynamic Asia-based artists.
 
Experience a combination of the classical and the contemporary, installation and painting, visitors to Ora-Ora at Asia Now will travel through elements of the evolution of art in the region, and the personal and philosophical journeys of Ora-Ora’s artists.
