Transparent by William Josephs Radford
The final chapter of a five-part body of work made following the death of his father, the project sees Radford return to family photographs and begin removing him from the images, reconstructing the spaces he once occupied and questioning how much of his childhood memory is shaped by photographs rather than lived experience.
He uses photography to explore difficult and often provocative subjects, from sexuality and spirituality to mortality and memory, creating visually beautiful images that invite viewers to look beyond the surface.

Arttaca Visits Galerie Bhak at Art Jakarta 2026, Jakarta, Indonesia.
We spoke with director Bryan Bhak about Seoul-based Galerie Bhak, marking their debut exhibition at Art Jakarta with a curation of four South Korean artists.
The presentation brings together distinct explorations of surface, medium, and form, featuring Bo Kim, Soonjae, Sijong Kim, and Yun Woo Seung. From delicate, layered hanji mulberry paper paintings and heavily textured studies on identity to surreal botanical digital collages and luminous epoxy resin fish paintings, the booth offers a focused look at the innovative material practices in contemporary Korean art.

In the Heat of the Sun by Tong Mo
Set against the nostalgic backdrop of 1990s modernization and the indistinct memories of youth, In the Heat of the Sun explores the emotional terrain of a generation on the cusp of change. Inspired by Jiang Wen's iconic film, the exhibition brings together fragmented moments of an analog childhood, where consumer culture first emerged, imagination transcended rules, and time moved slowly.
Tong Mo
Most of Tong Mo's works depict an era he has never experienced. Through his sharp deconstruction and extension of historical images, he presents forgotten social moments before the viewer like a dream. In a sense, these images reflect the collective unconscious that has seeped into the minds of each generation.

Brothers by Weijian Shi
Weijian Shi was born and raised in a period of economic upswing in China. His parents seized the opportunity of the times, working hard to invest in the next generation and placing greater hope in him, a better version of them. Being an only child, he was favored by the family’s resources, while the environment around him insisted he achieve personal success, even surpassing that of his father’s generation.
His work has been selected for and exhibited at Where is Armo? Photography of China (2022); A-Pian (American Cut Pieces), SomaArts (2023); Dummy Book Prize, Imageless (2024); and Rewire (2025), among many others. He was a Yale MFA Photography finalist (2025) and an OD Photo Prize shortlisted artist (2026).

Scenes from the East by Ricardo Rodríguez
In Scenes from the East, Valencian artist Ricardo Rodríguez explores the duality between strength and vulnerability through imagery inspired by East Asian visual traditions. After delving into worlds like Formula 1 and cowboy mythology, Rodríguez now turns his gaze toward symbols such as the samurai, cherry blossoms, and temples, elements where power and fragility coexist.
His figurative contemporary art blends classical oil-on-canvas technique with modern themes, often in black and white, exploring the duality of strength and vulnerability and the tension between control and chaos.
