Florian Ma made his name with a solo exhibition titled Gene, in which he presented 30 large-scale paintings, sculptures, neon lights, videos and music inspired by aesthetics, history and life. Last November, he turned Hong Kong’s K11 Art Mall into a playground via vivid visuals to interpret how the world evolves through processes of life, growth and reproduction. Influenced by cartoons, animation and comic books, Ma embarked on further studies at École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris, after obtaining a Master’s degree in fine art from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. In 2009, he received the LVMH Young Creative Artists Award, and his video Les Demoiselles de Avignon was among the finalists at the 2009-2010 Hong Kong Contemporary Art Biennial Award.

Born in 1984 and a graduate of the Xian Academy of Fine Arts, Huang Kai’s comic-panel colour woodcut prints, in an illustration style popular in early 20th century Chinese comic books, evoke Beijing street scenes of the 1980s. While depicting carefree playtime with friends in long-vanished alleyways, his work also describes and comments on the social backdrop of the ‘80s. Huang has participated in a range of shows, including the 2006 Triptych Art Exhibition Time, Space & I, a UK-Germany-China collaboration, in Beijing. His works were also housed in the China National Art Museum in 2009 and featured in Jiangsu Painters Journal and China Collection magazine.
