Elisabeth de Brabant represents world renowned Chinese and international artists. She brings artists to exhibition throughout China, Europe, and the US. Through her various activities, she is committed to creating platforms for new dialogues around art and opportunities for artists and art connoisseurs alike to push the boundaries of conventional paradigms for understanding art

Elisabeth de Brabant works closely with artists, major galleries, museums, curators, and collectors. She works with 1933, a creative space housed in an architecturally timeless building, to create art programs throughout the year featuring major avant-garde artists in a unique museum-like setting. She will soon be opening the Elisabeth de Brabant art center in the French Concession, which will serve as a springboard for interaction with experimental art works and ways of examining them. The Elisabeth de Brabant collection is housed in a private and restored 1930s villa and is guided by a distinct examination of Shanghai’s intimate art narrative. She has also advised major art collectors for art programs and for the acquisition of art works.

Ultimately, Elisabeth de Brabant is not only a curator but a pioneer of the arts.

Hugo Tillman was born in 1973 in London, England. He graduated from Pratt Institute with an MFA in 2004. He has garnered great reception and has been awarded honors such as the Schweppes Photographic Prize (2004) as well as the Pratt Circle Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement.

Hugo Tillman participated in the Shanghai Biennale 2006, an exhibition that relies on Chinese traditions and cultural heritage but applies them to a modern language of aesthetics. For his Chinese Contemporary series, Tillman spent months in China interviewing his subjects and immersing himself in the culture and art scene. The result is a mesmerizing look at the unique psychological landscape of the present-day Chinese art world, seen from Tillman’s Western point-of-view.

Luo Er Qi is a Shanghai-born decoupage artist, who studied at the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts as well as at the Fine Art School of Besancon, France. Stimulated more by the intricacies of shape than of colour, Luo Er Qi strives to capture freedom and movement of form through his elaborate and dynamic paper cut works.

Luo Er Qi takes inspiration from his childhood fascination with Chinese mythology and magical forms, and combines this with his classical artistic education and his training in Lithography. His pieces are at once spontaneous and precise, and convey a sense of energy and motion which evokes a dreamlike quality.
