The Hong Kong International Art Fair will be held on 26 – 29 May 2011 at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Pioneering the blend of three essential elements of Art · People · Nature, K11 is showcasing artworks by fStar of K11 – Florian MA Ho Yin and the two K11 Artist Bloggers Gavin AU and Samantha WONG at ARTHK 11 (K11 booth no. X15). Together with over 260 galleries and museums from 38 countries worldwide, their talent is going to be presented to art lovers and galleries around the globe.
 
Since the opening in 2009, K11 has always been devoted in fostering links with the arts and the mass for young, contemporary and experimental local young artists in all multi art forms, and incorporating market forces of art dealing and marketing exposure to promote local creative talents on an international ground.
 
Florian MA, the selected local young contemporary artist to be nourished under the unique Star of K11 programme 2010, has just been chosen by Perspective Magazine as one of the Design Stars of Tomorrow in their annual 40 Under 40 programme 2011. In 2009, Florian’s video work “Les Demoiselles de Avignon” was selected in Hong Kong Contemporary Art Biennial Awards 2009 and he was awarded LVMH Young Creative Artists Awards 2009. K11 fully supported and staged Florian’s Solo ‘gene’ Conceptual Mulitmedia Art Exhibition in late 2010.
 
K11 Artist Bloggers Gavin AU and Samantha WONG are the highlighted local artists by K11. Photographer Gavin AU was awarded the Artist–In–Residency by the Hong Kong Open Printshop and received the honorable mention in IPA international photography awards in 2010.

Multimedia artist Samantha WONG focus on paintings, videos and mixed media installations, mostly related to psychological state of children and childhood experiences, with imaginations of the stories and influences of human beings in their early age.
