Asian Art is the flavour of the moment with many interesting artists emerging with fresh ideas seducing the western curiosity of collectors who have seen it all. It was all affordable a few years back but some pieces are now fetching record prices in auctions. China - is it the Olympic effect or is it just the fact they have entered a very creative and interesting Movida-like phase? - tops the list and people in the know are not only turning into neighbouring countries like Vietnam or Cambodia but it is mostly Indonesia attracting the crowds right now. I cannot fathom from here which artists are really hot on the European market but from the ones emerging as long lasting values, sculptor Chen WenLing seems to be hot property. The Ode to Art gallery in Singapore is housing quite a few interesting pieces from his red boys series. One particularly striking sculpture from this Artist is entitled 'Cold' (picture above).
