As Art Central enters its second decade, the fair will bring together over 100 galleries and 500 artists from Hong Kong, Asia and beyond. The fairs signature Yi Tai Sculpture & Installation Projects section provides artists with a platform to break free from booth constraints, presenting large-scale installations with real impact.
This years edition, themed “Discover Art, Make it yours,” takes an exploratory approach that combines diverse artistic perspectives with rigorous curatorial practice. Of the five large-scale installations featured in Yi Tai Sculpture & Installation Projects, three are by Hong Kong artists. Here are three local names worth watching.
1. Alexis Wong
Hong Kong artist Alexis Wong has created “When Meandering Through the Sunken Echoes, When Drifting Through the Fleeing Hollow” (2025), a work composed of mountain-like structures in black rawhide, translucent shells, suspended quasi-organic vessels and sedimentary traces. Inspired by the Eastern concept of “shi” (勢) — a force or tendency — the work employs mountain-like three-dimensional forms, translucent shells and organic containers to construct a sensory field pulled by multiple forces.
The piece explores how viewers recalibrate their perception and action within unstable environments. “Shi” refers to the inclination and gravitational pull generated by specific forms. The artist uses this to construct a “field of force,” where flow and structural pressure work together to guide the viewers perception and movement. In this environment, “shi” becomes a crucial intuition for navigating an accelerated and volatile era — a perceptual mode through which one identifies their position, adjusts their way of seeing, and decides how to move forward. Presented by Yiwei Gallery, Los Angeles.
2. OrangeTerry
Hong Kong artist OrangeTerry examines the concept of the “everyday” through found objects, paying close attention to the labor, history and understated aesthetics they carry. The installation “Found Faith” (2026) is based on church pews gifted by a veteran artist friend, extended into a large-scale sculptural work that reflects peoples pursuit of faith, values and lifes anchors in an unpredictable age. Presented by Square Street Gallery, Hong Kong.
3. Silvester Mok
Hong Kong artist Silvester Moks “The Digital Fossiliser” (2026) draws inspiration from Hong Kongs first-ever dinosaur fossil discovery in 2024, reflecting on how life and objects are preserved through time. The artist sees 3D scanning and printing as a form of “accelerated fossilization,” transforming everyday objects into ceramic and resin works that are, in a sense, preserved. Presented as a fictional laboratory “workshop,” the installation explores questions of permanence and memory in the digital age. Presented by Touch Gallery, Hong Kong.
Art Central curator Enoch Cheng said: “the Yi Tai Projects sector continues to support artists in realising impactful large-scale works, featuring practitioners foregrounding local artists whose growth underscores our commitment to fostering homegrown talent.”
