ABDI SETIAWAN (Indonesia) Abdi is a quiet guy with innocent smile. His self-portrait sculptures, often invoking street life atmosphere, might look cute with their childlike spirit, but they are loaded with very real humanism concerns. It is this combination that first attracted me to his work. There is a peculiar sense of humour, a certain playful lightness even when the work explores grave matters.

BOB SICK YUDHITA (Indonesia) I met Bob Sick through S. Teddy Darmawan who managed to convince me to visit him in his tiny studio. He was quite a sight: a long-haired skinny guy with tattoo all over his skin, seemingly drunk all the time. The walls of his small room were covered with all sorts of pictures: posters, photos, collages. Paintings of various sizes were everywhere. It was quite overwhelming. He turned out to be a very sweet and friendly guy, and I couldn’t get my mind off his vivacious paintings so I had to go back and bring some to Hong Kong.

EddiE haRA (Indonesia) My first impression of EddiE haRA is this cool and interesting artist with Buddha’s ears, an Indonesian who lives in Basel. His Swiss-Envelope series is fascinating: very spontaneous free-form drawings with socio-political commentaries, delivered with a tongue-in-cheek sense of humour. I love how in his work everything seems to flow effortlessly, buoyed by his exuberant energy.

HERVÉ MAURY (France) It was raining heavily, and my eyes were swollen into these huge ball. I was feeling miserable. And then there on Hervé’s paintings, big eyes from cute, happy looking animals were staring at me; making an eye contact that soon touched my heart and cheer me up. I found his work to be uplifting and heart- warming, something that we all need – especially living in a place like Hong Kong. 77 - 04 Mixed media on Canvas 100 x 100 cm | 2009 in Revisit p.1 | 4 July - 19 July 2014 | a group exhibition

TILO KAISER (Germany) I have known Tilo for years before finally exhibiting his works in my gallery. Year after year, he would show me his new paintings, shared with me his progress, until finally something clicked and I just had to bring his work to Hong Kong. To me, he is this crazy and fun German artist with a great sense of humour. All of these things are reflected in his work, executed skilfully using all sorts of found paper to create unlikely collage works. There is always something refreshingly funny in his work, which I love.

ANTOINETTE ROZAN (France) I still remember the first time I saw Antoinette’s sculpture: it was of a magnificent pregnant woman in bronze. The fluid lines of the body, the motion implied within the mass, the energy emanates from it... I think of her work as sculptural calligraphy, which also calls to my mind the work of Giacometti.

FAUZIE AS'AD (Indonesia) Fauzie is a creative dreamer whose soul is torn between Yogya, his hometown and Liechtenstein, where he has made him home now. Although it was his marble sculptures that attracted me first, it was his whimsically poetic paintings that inspired me to bring his works to Hong Kong. There is an elegance mixture of western and eastern elements in his works that I found particularly compelling.

ANDY DEWANTORO (Indonesia) I see Andy as a smart metropolitan artist who is very skillful. I love the illusion found in his work: how at first they appear like blurry photographs, but upon closer look it is apparent that they are, in fact, paintings. The subtle sense of movement, even in his architectural paintings, is evocative of transient dreams or fading memories. I found this mesmerising.

HANAFI (Indonesia) I first met Hanafi at Komaneka’s space in Bali, a long time ago in the early start of Sin Sin Fine Art.

I immediately felt a strong connection with Hanafi, especially upon witnessing his moving performance that went straight to my heart. I could sense his sincerity in his works, which felt so direct, so genuine, so inspired.

RICK LEWIS (U.S.A.) Over 12 years ago, I was introduced to an American Artist Rick Lewis who was doing art residency at The Purnati Culture Center.

VINCENT CAZENEUVE (France) I met the French artist Vincent in Shanghai not a long time ago. I was impressed with his dedication to his work, he dives in completely with all his heart.

When I met him, he told me that he would like to get to know me. He said that he thinks slowly, but he works fast. He is quite a thinker, which is not surprising as he teaches in the university.

FUNG MING CHIP (Hong Kong) I feel a kinship with Fung Ming Chip as we have similar backgrounds: we both were self-taught. It is not easy to understand his works although their charm is quite undeniable. In general, his works appear calm and quiet, just like the artist himself. His materials are very traditional: paper, ink, and water. And yet, his expression is always inventive, without completely leaving the tradition it is based upon. Ming is always experimenting, pushing the limits. He has created hundreds of unique calligraphic scripts. In his recent works, he combines a small work with a big one, creating a dialog between them. 13NS1-6 Chinese Ink on Paper 93.5 x 125 cm | 2013 in Revisit p.2 | 21 July - 9 Aug 2014 | a group exhibition

LEE MAN SANG (Hong Kong) I met Lee Man Sang a long time ago when I needed a location to photograph my collection, ‘Earth on Earth’. A friend took me to Lee Man Sang’s studio out in the nature. It’s like a hidden paradise! The man himself appeared like a Buddha, coming out from the forest. He makes things using natural material he found around his studio. He makes sculptures, flutes, lamps... whatever inspires him. I think his works reflect where he comes from.

PABLO POSADA PERNIKOFF (France) It was his glasswork that brought me to Pablo Posada Pernikoff. The lines and shapes in his works intrigued me. He is a mathematician, so the way he works is very methodical. Having been living in Japan for over 20 years, his elegant works show a kind of Japanese aesthetics, with a pleasing contrasting element. There is a balance between his glasswork and his works with paper that I admire.

He is a humanist, a dedicated activist fighting for the downtrodden. His art and his activism are interrelated; both are intense. I have high respect for him.
