Due to the epidemic, the Art Basel Hong Kong exhibition will be postponed from March to May. Although there are still three months left until the exhibition, the organizers are actively providing art lovers with various forms of online art galleries, allowing everyone to appreciate the carefully crafted works of global artists and galleries before the physical exhibition officially begins.
The new edition of “OVR:2021” online exhibition is now open for 13 days, featuring 59 galleries from 21 countries and regions, showcasing artworks from 2021 for everyone to review the artistic creations of the past year together. Each participating gallery presents carefully curated solo or group exhibitions with up to 8 artworks, and there are also special stories about the online exhibition hall available online, with very rich content!

Featuring works from several avant-garde artists, their creations differ from traditional paintings, being made from raw minerals, traditional textiles, and pigments, while some incorporate humor and mysterious elements, bringing various fresh themes and creative methods.
One of the featured stories focuses on the works created by 7 visionary photographers in 2021. Among many artists, there are quite a few who have pushed the boundaries of the long-standing medium of photography, redefining the development of the photography world today, from photographic techniques to the rearrangement of stock photos.

Many participating galleries in “OVR:2021” are focusing on emerging artists, whose young voices are exploring new ways to connect with the spirit of the present era through their creations. They are bold in their choice of materials, full of taboo, and their themes touch on faith, politics, crime, and more. The special feature stories particularly recommend Arturo Kameya (New York), Jennifer Rose Sciarrino (Toronto), Wang Ziquan (Shanghai), Sable Elyse Smith (New York), and Michael Igwe (Los Angeles) as 5 art rookies.
In addition, 59 galleries will each present highlights from the past year, some featuring group exhibitions of their collection artists, while others focus on solo exhibitions of individual artists. These online galleries will officially open to the public at 2:00 pm on February 10th, with a duration of only 3 days. Don’t miss out!
