A look back at “Is It Listening?” by Kate Bailey (@freetimeallthetime) during the 10th Anniversary #SeattleArtFair 🎈

Taking flight on helium balloons, the self-contained robotic sculpture recorded ambient fair chatter and printed imperfect transcripts in real time.

Started in 2017, this series probes data collection and language, showing how easily meaning shifts without context.

Thank you @seattleartfair.
At Seattle Art Fair 2026, Yiwei Gallery presented Shanghai-based Artist Sun Yao.
We were pleased to meet a thoughtful and engaged audience, continuing our dedication to showcasing artists from the broader Asian diaspora and fostering conversations of cultural exchange.

-

Sun Yao (b. 1974, Shanghai) is a Chinese painter working primarily with oil. He received his BA and PhD from the China Academy of Art, and his MFA from the Fine Arts College of Shanghai University.

From a young age, he was fascinated by the science fiction genre. During his training, he developed an obsessive dedication to capturing the nuances of the human body, which heavily influenced his artistic process. Sun’s practice centers on the exploration of the human condition and the meaning of individual existence. In his work, the combination of cosmic and natural phenomena, alongside the delicate yet complex structure of human tendons, nerves, and faces, merges to create his distinctive abstract landscapes.

Over the years, Sun developed his unique “classical abstract” art style through his continuous research of Baroque art. In his painting process, Sun often uses his fingers, cloth, custom-made palette knives, and brushes to smudge, wipe, and scrape, creating tactile textures reflective of his painting philosophy. From his early series Body and Landscapes of the Face to the ongoing series like Neverland and Inner Universe, the artist navigates as a bold voyager – alone yet solitary – crossing imagined realms of nature and the unknown. By reflecting on life‘s limits and what lies beyond, he forges a contemporary vision of the sublime. by @seattleartfair

@seattleartfair | Seattle Art Fair 2026 — what an unforgettable experience.

@artgalleryb612 was honored to present Korean Rhapsody: Sijo as an official program of Korean Cultural Week 2026, featuring new works by KyoungMug Park @kyoungmug , YoungHwa Choi @yh.relief , and MiYoung Margolis @miyoungmargolis_art .

Inspired by sijo, a traditional Korean poetic form, the presentation brought together ink, hanji, mixed media, and contemporary visual language to explore nature, emotion, and Korean cultural identity.

Throughout the fair, our booth welcomed thousands of visitors, collectors, artists, curators, and art lovers. We were deeply grateful for the thoughtful conversations surrounding the works—and especially happy to see several pieces begin new journeys in private collections.

The experience extended beyond the fair through Korean Rhapsody: Sijo — A Love Letter, a live painting and movement performance by KyoungMug Park and MiYoung Margolis, and a special Sagunja ink painting workshop led by YoungHwa Choi.

Our heartfelt thanks to Seattle Art Fair, the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Seattle @koreanconsulate_seattle , Margolis Arts Foundation, Art Love Salon @artlovesalon , and all of our participating artists, performers, staff, volunteers, collectors, partners, and visitors.

The fair may be over, but Korean Rhapsody: Sijo continues at Gallery B612’s Pioneer Square location through the end of September.

📍 Gallery B612
520 1st Ave S, Seattle

Thank you for being part of this meaningful journey.
