My wonderful guides, artist Ye Linghan and Michael Xufu Huang who is the new director of X Museum, opening in March. The resources available to Ye are the thing that is pushing his practice, using AI features on apps to render his human Lucy type creatures
We visited Guan Xiao in her studio, here she is in front of her new palette paintings ready to be shipped to all the corners of the world
Yu Honglei told me body size is very important to him as he treats his paintings as sculptures. He is Guan’s partner and they constantly grow together
It was a pleasure to meet Ye Funa who showed us her work, including this special nail
Her moving image works based on the position of women

Yuling Zhang and Tim Crowley welcomed me at the KWM Art Centre where saw Wu Junyong’s solo show ‘Where are the Fantastic Beasts?’
Back at Hotel Éclat we took stock of the eccentric art and impressive architecture
