New: Gift this subscriber-only story to your friends and family

The Affordable Art Fair and Ion Art have been collaborating on this Young Talent Programme for seven years. Each year, promising young artists are picked for a 10-month mentorship programme and they get to exhibit their works at the end of it. This year's show features works from Arya Wirawan, Lim Jia Qi and Liu Ling.

Indonesian artist Wirawan's works, painted on teak, are an accessible mashup of pop culture and Asian mythologies. Look out for his stylish anime/manga-influenced renditions of the mythical garuda and Hanuman, the monkey god.
