Kim
Jae-Im belonged to the first generation of Korean Abstract Expressionists.
Since her first one-woman show in Seoul, Korea in 1960, she
has continuously exhibited her works in Europe and Asia. Although
her works resemble those of American Abstract Expressionist
painters superficially, there is a fundamental difference. For
example, she uses Oriental brushes of all size as if her acrylic
paints were links and watercolors.

Hanna
Varghese is a Malaysian artist who began painting religious/biblical
themes after she was inspired by artworks of Asian Christians
in the early issues of IMAGE magazine. The spritual images made
by other Asian Christian artists prompted her to explore the
possibilities of making tangible her own understanding of her
Christian sprituality and faith - for the first time.
