Alisan Fine Arts is excited to exhibit the work of six Asian Diasporic artists for the 2025 Dallas Art Fair: Julie Chang, Mimi Chen Ting, Fu Xiaotong, Myeongsoo Kim, Ren Light Pan, and Kelly Wang.

Julie Chang is a San Francisco based artist whose work investigates how identities are constructed and how (mis) understandings of both self and other might be resisted, subverted, and reimagined. Her paintings use ancient and contemporary cultural symbols to make visible hidden histories and illustrate the cultural hybridity inherent in the world.

Ren Light Pan is a Chinese American transgender artist living and working in New York. Her work engages with biographical issues dealing with hybridized and transgressive cultural and gender identities. Working between Eastern and Western art history, her use of traditional Chinese ink against modes of contemporary painting—namely readymade or anti-gestures, deconstruction as well as techniques influenced by photographic, filmic and printmaking processes—opened a space for contentious harmony.

Kelly Wang combines contemporary and traditional materials and approaches to create paintings, sculptures, and works that exist somewhere between two and three dimensions. Wang has been exposed to Chinese art since early childhood, and has been studying calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting since 2010 while developing her own contemporary artistic practice.

Myeongsoo Kim is a photographer and sculptor based in Brooklyn, NY. He received his BFA in Sculpture + Extended Media from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2009, and his MFA in Sculpture from Yale University in 2011. Recent exhibitions include Space City: Art in the Age of Artemis at the Asia Society Houston in 2024; in the 2019 BRIC in Brooklyn, NY, and the Brave New World Photo Festival at the Seoul Museum of Art in Seoul, Korea.

Mimi Chen Ting (1946-2022), was a Chinese-American painter, printmaker, and performance artist whose high-spirited practice fused Eastern and Western aesthetics. She was active in the artist communities of the Bay Area of San Francisco, CA, and Taos, NM.

Fu Xiaotong is known for her intricate paper pinhole creations of “traditional” landscape compositions. She graduated from the Oil Painting Department of the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts in 2000 and later obtained a Master’s degree in Experimental Art from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in 2013. Fu currently teaches at the School of Arts at North China University of Technology and resides in Germany.
