WINNERS GALLERY is honored to participate in the 2023 ART AMOY INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR and will showcase the works of seven artists: Kristinn Már Pálmason, Lourdes Navarro, Elínborg Jóhannesdóttir Ostermann, Þorbjörg Magnea Óskarsdóttir Tobba, Fía Yang, Lou Zhihan, Anjin Dang, at booth A1-26. 

Kristinn Már Pálmason (b.1967, Keflavík, Iceland), He currently lives and works in Iceland. In 1998, he graduated from Slade School of Fine Art, University College London, with a master's degree.

Kristinn is a contemporary artist. Kristin's artwork begins above our known material world, but instead creates a law that carefully symbolizes the artist's mental world in visual geometry, which is at the same time the way to a kind of spiritual liberation, where the lack in the visual material is created consciously. The artist knows that the "program" or visual world he seeks to display is fragmentary and unfinished.

Recent exhibition by Kristinn include: “ROTOR”, Portfolio Gallerí Reykjavík, Iceland (2023); “Relations”, “The Icelandic embassy”, Vienna, Austria, (2022); “Raw Power”, Reykjavík Art Museum, Hafnarhús ,Reykjavík, Iceland (2021).

Lourdes Navarro (b.1984, Bogota, Colombia). She currently lives and works in Bogotá, Colombia.

Lourdes Navarro uses the forms of abstract and figurative painting to rewrite worlds. Her visual language blends Andean landscapes, lived experiences, and oneiric transfigurations. She works in an abstract and figurative expressionist style to create a visual dream journal filled with ephemeral figures, symbols, and illogical narratives. She uses her coded visual lexicon to explore emotions and thoughts that are manifested through the different ways of doing things.

Recent exhibition by Lourdes Navarro include: "Something more than line, extended drawing", Adrián Ibáñez Gallery, Bogota, Colombia (2022); "Early Abysses", Casa4 Arte, Bogota, Colombia (2022); "Re-imagine", Peace and Reconciliation Memory Center, Bogota, Colombia (2022); "The neighbors", ABLAC Gallery, Bogota, Colombia (2022); "Reside", online art exhibition, Q Museum, Bogota, Colombia (2022).

Elínborg Jóhannesdóttir Ostermann (b.1954, Reykjavik, Iceland),  In 1974, she moved to Vienna and studied biochemistry at the local University of Vienna，got a PhD degree. She currently lives and works in Vienna. Elínborg is an outstanding scientist specializing in new genetics and cancer therapies. Over the years, her scientific research and artistic explorations have complemented each other, allowing her works to build unique bridges between science and art. She is particularly fascinated with watercolor painting. Her works are deeply inspired by Iceland's magnificent landscapes, especially its unique waterscapes and mesmerizing light.

Recent exhibitions by Elínborg include: “Draumalandið”, Gallerí Fold, Reykjavik, Iceland (2023) ; Galleri Fold, Reykjavík, Iceland (2023) ; Fabriano Aquarelle Watercolor Event, Italy Participant of the Austrian Watercolour Society (2022) ; Exhibition of the Icelandic Society in Luxemburg, Venue, Arizona (2022) ; Exhibition at the Icelandic Embassy (2022).

Þorbjörg Magnea Óskarsdóttir Tobba (b.1975, Iceland) currently lives  and works in Beijing. Tobba is a sculptor and painter. Her sculptures are inspired by the legendary stories of her Viking ancestors, while her paintings depict social issues and her childhood experiences. They represent sadness, anxiety, loneliness, or violence, and also tell stories of people around her. She works with various materials, including oil paint, wire, clay, rocks, concrete, and fabric, and always explores more possibilities in her material choices.Recent exhibitions  include: “Keflavik - Tobba”, Hafnargata, Keflavik, Iceland (2022) ; “Tobba” Portugese Art Center, Calcala CEM - Art Gallery, Lisboa, Portugal (2022) ; “Women made by Ordin”, Winners Gallery, Beijing, China (2023). 

Fía Yang (b.1988, Changsha, China), she currently lives and works in Iceland. Fía's art is an exploration of self-discovery, confronting fears, and embracing liberation, forging an intimate connection with viewers on a personal level. She seamlessly blends the bold strokes of traditional Chinese calligraphy with her instinctual movements, guided by an intimate connection to her physical presence. This improvisational method allows her to liberate her mind and body, accessing the internal currents of creativity.

Recent exhibition by Fía Yang include: “ Living Creature”, solo show, WINNERS GALLERY, Beijing, China "Kollegar", Group show, Gallery Port, Reykjavik, Iceland (2023) ; "White Box", Group show, Flæði, Reykjavik, Iceland (2023) ; "Eve Presents #3", Group show, Eve Leibe Gallery, London, UK (2023).  Fía engaged in the BAAR art residency program in Berlin. Her work is featured in the BITHOUSE Projects Collection and held by private collectors in Europe and Asia.

Lou Zhihan（b. 1995, Zhejiang, China）. In 2020, graduated from the City University of Hong Kong with a Master's degree in Curating. She currently lives and works in Beijing and Hongkong.

Lou Zhihan's works serve as a vehicle for visual spatial structure and creative thinking, with geometry as their foundation. She creates visual rhythm and dynamics through variations, combinations, and repetitions of geometric shapes. By combining the language of traditional Chinese ink painting with unconventional representation, she intertwines and permeates highly saturated colors to create a surreal artistic expression. Her inspiration for painting mainly stems from observations of life and the derived phenomena of the universe. Through her art, she explores the connection between nature and humanity, using it as a basis for personal growth and self-reflection.

Anjin Dang (b.2001, Dalian, China). Graduated from the Department of Experimental Arts and Technological Arts at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2023 with a bachelor's degree. He currently lives and works in Beijing and Hongkong.

Reconstructing the fuzzy boundaries of life forms and wandering in gray areas is the source of inspiration for Anjin Dang's creation. Anjin Dang uses subconscious lines as the main thread through lifelike bodies to reproduce the mysterious form of irregular movement. By creating a balance between emotionless mechanical beings and those with human traces, an unfamiliar yet sympathetic sound is constructed in the picture. Anjin Dang believes that the combination of tiles with a sense of regularity, order, and fetishism, and the ignorance of boundaries, the unknowable beings, will have an extremely joyful node - breaking through boundaries.
