ZURICH.- Avanthay Contemporary AG presents an exhibition with three artists from Asia. In his energetic works on canvas, the Vietnamese artist Pham Ngoc Duong (1976) focuses on human faces in close vision, leading us almost ‘under the skin’ of the persons portrayed.

The young Sichuan painter Zhang Tingqun (1981) questions the collision between China and the West, and looks at how development, although progressive, does not necessarily replace tradition.

With his porcelain sculptures, the Chinese artist Xu Yihui (1964) intriguingly reacts to new lifestyles in China, brought about by the arrival of globalized consumer culture.
