Since 2014, the annual StART art fair brings the works of artists from around the globe to be viewed on a worldwide scale. Its Global Eye programme for 2020 has included the works of K-pop stars Ohnim and Yooyeon as well as Henry Lau, as part of its effort to focus on the art scene from Asia.

This October, StART art fair takes centre stage at the Saatchi Gallery, featuring 70 emerging and established global artists and galleries from more than 25 countries.

This year, the Singapore-based gallery and international art management One East Asia is bringing in Andres Barrioquinto again as part of its roster. Barrioquinto has been one of the most critically acclaimed and most selling Filipino artists of the Philippine contemporary art scene.
Since 2014, the gallery has been representing the said Filipino artist and in 2016, Barrioquinto had his first solo exhibition at the StART art fair entitled, It Will All End In Tears. This was followed by his second solo exhibition entitled, This Is My Beautiful Title, in 2019. Veronica Howe, managing director and chief art consultant of the said gallery talks to Tatler about Barrioquinto, his artistry, and the importance of putting the Asian artists at such an esteemed global platform:
Tell us what you think of Andres Barrioquinto's technique and style and why is One East Asia proud to showcase his works at the StART art fair
Nebulous, indistinct, and compelling, Barrioquinto’s works have universal, international appeal. In his use of the body, and more often, the face, Barrioquinto has a place within a well-established tradition in the Philippines. He has always used figuration because of his obsession with the nature of human existence—the violence underneath, the proximity of death and the fugitive nature of life’s meaning. His best-known work uses the imagery of conflict found in Japanese woodblock prints, ukiyo-e, which hints at the disorder lying beneath the apparent harmony and beauty of the world.

Whatever Filipino artists do, they do with love in their hearts. Their deep understanding on the importance of human connection, along with their rich and incredibly complex history makes them unique, and, we believe, gives them an interesting edge.— Veronica Howe
