If the return to figurative painting was the central theme of this 2021 edition, as evidenced by the admirable self-portrait of Yan Pei Ming, there was also a “solo show” sector dedicated to the presentation of monographic exhibitions as well as a sector “Promises” dedicated to young emerging talents which affirmed the forward-looking vocation of the fair.
