① 2022年希望看到画廊或艺术行业内的哪些变化？

For China as a region, it is important to continually cultivate curators, researchers, and critics. I think it will create a transformative potential after 5 years. As a gallery, I hope we can continue to bring regional character and originality of the Asian cultural belt into our programmes. I hope Art will never cease to bring new palates of enjoyment for collectors and audiences alike.

对于中国作为一个地区来说，不断培养策展人、研究人员和评论家是很重要的。我认为这样5年后将会创造一种具有变革性的潜力。作为一家画廊，我希望我们能继续将亚洲文化带的地域特色和独创性融入我们的项目中。我希望艺术永远不会停止给藏家和观众带来新的享受。

② 在您画廊今年的展览计划中最期待哪一个展览？

In Ota Fine Arts Shanghai, we are planning a solo exhibition by Indonesian artist Ay Tjoe Christine in summer. This will be her second solo exhibition in China, and I am looking forward to the responses of the local audience. As one of Southeast Asia's foremost female contemporary artists, her paintings are endued with strong emotions and powerful imagined narratives. Layer by layer of spontaneous, bold, and dynamic oil streaks come together to create paintings that linger between abstraction and concreteness.

我们计划这个夏季在上海大田秀则画廊举办印度尼西亚艺术家艾珠·克里斯汀的个展。这将会是她在中国的第二次个展，我很期待本地观众的反馈。作为东南亚最重要的当代女性艺术家之一，她的绘画充满了强烈的情感和强大的想象叙事。一层层自发、大胆且动态的油画线条汇聚在一起，创造出在抽象与具象之间徘徊的绘画。

③ 目前您的画廊团队有多少工作人员？

I have over a dozen employees across Tokyo, Shanghai, and Singapore.  Many years ago, I entered the Contemporary Art world to seek the air of freedom, probably because I do not like the sense of obstruction.  Now, I hope my team can often experience this same freedom that I felt.

我在东京、新加坡和上海的团队一共有十余位员工。我进入当代艺术世界的一大原因是希望寻找自由的空气，可能是因为不喜欢阻塞感的性格。现在，我也希望可以为我的团队提供一个自由工作的环境。

④ 请推荐一件适合在夏日的北京当代艺博会现场观赏的作品

I recommend Hilmi Johandi's Landscape and Paradise XIV (Pool View no. 7). Hilmi Johandi is a Singaporean artist that works primarily with painting. Hilmi often finds inspiration from found, archival materials of Singapore, extracting familiar motifs from them and reconstructing the different elements into a scene in his paintings. Recently the artist has been looking at postcards and posters from the 1980’s to 1990’s - he is interested in how these images portrayed Singapore as a tropical paradise and an ideal tourist destination during that time. At a time when international travel is limited, I hope Hilmi’s poolscape will bring a cool freshness to Beijing this summer.

我推荐希尔米·乔汉迪的“风景与天堂14（泳池景观no.7）”。希尔米·乔汉迪是一位主要创作绘画作品的新加坡艺术家。希尔米经常从新加坡的档案材料中寻找灵感，从中提取熟悉的主题，并将不同的元素重构为他绘画中的场景。最近，这位艺术家一直在研究二十世纪八十至九十年代的明信片和海报——他对这些照片如何将新加坡描绘成一个热带天堂和理想的旅游目的地感兴趣。在国际旅行受限的当下，我希望希尔米的泳池景观能在今年夏天为北京带来一些清凉之感。
