Asia Art Show Gallery

Art is important because it gives us something beautiful to look at every day. Good art forces us to stop taking things for granted in life and to appreciate everything that we have by perceiving them in novel ways.

However, beyond esthetics, Art, in all its forms, is important because it helps us understand ourselves and others who are different from ourselves. This application of Art has an even wider range of uses than might not normally is aware of —

Art preserves knowledge accumulated from humanity's past and can help us understand what is happening to us now, which helps us forecast and steer our future paths.

This brings us to the subject of Asian Art.

Asia is the largest land mass with the largest population in the world. The region is home to thousands of ethnic and cultural groups, from Mongolians and Kazakhs to Filipinos and Thais, from Japanese, Koreans and Chinese to Mesopotamians and Iranians. Asian history has played a key role in shaping the world we live in today.

As for tomorrow, Asia will continue to influence the world of the future. Asia’s population is projected to grow by more than half a billion people by 2050, which will increase its share of the global population from about 60% today to about 66%. The region’s economic growth will also continue, with Asian economies forecast to account for nearly 60% of global GDP in 2050.

Art has played a major role in documenting and spreading the cultures of Asia amongst its people, as well as amongst travellers from far-flung places. From the ancient monuments of Iran influenced by spiritual thoughts of the Sumerian and Mesopotamian civilizations to the monumental edifices of the emperors of China, from the intricate carvings of Indian monuments to the delicate brushstrokes of Japanese art.

This site hopes to showcase the diversity of art from across Asia as well as to share the rich cultural heritage and history of Asia.

We exhibit a wide range of artwork from traditional paintings to innovative digital art, covering cultural elements from various geographical areas, historical eras, and aspects of Asian life.
