Asprey Studio is thrilled to announce its participation in @artbasel Hong Kong, from 25-29 March 2026, as part of Zero 10, Art Basel’s curated platform dedicated to art of the digital era. The presentation at booth Z4 will bring together a monumental 4.5m-high installation and digital artworks by Oscar-winning artist and art director @YipTim , acclaimed British Museum-acquired artist Qu Leilei, and digital artist @allseeingseneca , alongside two solid silver transpositions of digital works by @jackbutcher presented by @silkarthouse and handcrafted by the Asprey Studio Atelier in Kent. The showcase reflects the gallery’s curatorial focus on the intersection of physical and digital practices, and on how technology reshapes cultural memory and material expression.

@ArtBasel opens next Wednesday to collectors 💫 Among the highlights at Booth Z4, Asprey Studio presents a new sculptural collection by @allseeingseneca, After Jade. The presentation brings together 9 works — 2 digital paintings and 7 cast glass sculptures — exploring themes of cultural inheritance, transformation, and personal mythology through a dialogue between material and narrative. Rooted in Seneca’s reimagining of traditional Chinese ritual objects, the works balance fragility and permanence, merging Eastern and Western visual languages. Two of the sculptures are accompanied by paired digital paintings, extending the narrative into immersive, surreal worlds that frame and deepen the meaning of the physical pieces. Drawing on traditional Chinese ornament alongside the compositional language of Medieval and early Renaissance illuminated manuscripts, the paintings feature richly embellished borders and symbolic detailing, where central figures emerge as mythic protagonists within evolving narrative spaces. Explore the entire collection via our website and in person next week 📍Booth Z4, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, 1 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong

@ArtBasel Hong Kong opens next week 🌟 Leading Asprey Studio’s presentation at Booth Z4 at Art Basel Hong Kong 2026, Lili is a monumental 4.5m-high installation by @YipTim inhabiting a utopian yet dystopian psychological terrain, confronting technological innovation and the uncertainty of the future. Standing in the Zero 10 section, she occupies a dynamic psychological space. Though physically static, she functions as a cipher between past and future — a surface onto which viewers project memory and emotion, both vessel and mirror within an artificially constructed world. Conceived by Tim Yip in 2009 as ‘Desire’ — a bronze sculpture that wept real tears — Lili has evolved into a human-like, mannequin figure, styled with dark glasses and costumes evoking a young Eastern woman, taking on shifting forms, at times even appearing as an alien. This fluid identity extends into ‘The Courier’, the AI short film also presented at Art Basel Hong Kong, where Lili appears as an alien protagonist journeying across a desolate, decaying Earth in search of a mythical entity — an otherworldly perspective on collapse and the possibility of renewal. At Art Basel Hong Kong, the 4.5m-high Lili appears in cyberpunk, dystopian garments from Tim Yip’s project ‘Suspended City’, a speculative future where humanity inhabits emotion-powered cities suspended in space. Embodying this world, her layered garments act as artifacts of hierarchy, survival, and transcendence. 📍Booth Z4, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, 1 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Preview Days (by invitation): 25-26 March 2026 Public Days: 27-29 March 2026

The Asprey Studio @AspreyStudio . 10k sq ft space brand new building - currently creating a digital/physical gallery space on the second floor.

Asprey Studio has translated Jack Butcher’s digital works ‘Work’ and ‘Luck’ into handcrafted solid silver sculptures, presented at @ArtBasel Hong Kong 2026 by @SilkArtHouse. Created at the Asprey Studio Atelier in Kent, England, using traditional British silversmithing techniques and hallmarked by the UK Assay Office, the works bring material weight and permanence to Butcher’s digital language. ‘Work’ traces the evolution of labour — from the human hand to the pixelated cursor — while ‘Luck’ reimagines the mechanics of chance. A set of six solid silver dice, each fixed to a single number, transforms randomness into a system of predetermined outcomes. Presented as a live installation, visitors at Art Basel Hong Kong can roll the dice and receive a 3D-printed version of their result, while the complete solid silver set represents the ownership of the entire system. A dialogue between centuries-old craftsmanship and the evolving ideas of value, labour and ownership in the digital age. 📍Asprey Studio, Booth Z4 | Silk Art House, Booth Z9 - Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, 1 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Preview Days (by invitation): 25-26 March 2026 Public Days: 27-29 March 2026 #ArtBaselHongKong #ArtBasel #ArtCollector #ContemporaryArt

From expressive ink drawings to AI-generated works, Asprey Studio presents Qu Leilei (b. 1951, Qiqihar, China), at @ArtBasel Hong Kong as part of its wider multimedia presentation. A founding member of China’s seminal Stars Group, Qu Leilei is internationally recognised for his expressive ink drawings, particularly his depictions of hands - a universal language of emotion, connection and compassion. Works from this series are held in the permanent collection of the @BritishMuseum. At booth Z4 at Art Basel Hong Kong, Asprey Studio presents a selection of Leilei’s iconic ink works alongside AI-generated prints created by the artist prompting AI with his own imagery. The pairing foregrounds the expressive intelligence of the human hand while revealing the limitations of artificial systems, also famously prone to misrendering hands. In “Sacred Truths (2024), hands are bound by strands of scripted code translating the words: “Opinion is free, but facts are sacred” by G.K. Chesterton. The work reflects on the fragility of truth in an age of global disinformation. Also on view are paintings from Leilei’s War Series, including “Invincible” (2020), where rows of Terracotta Warriors stand like cogs in a vast machine. The Terracoota Warriors are in reference to the life-sized clay warriors created in the 3rd century BCE to accompany China’s first emperor in death, which were discovered in 1974. Among them appears a lone modern soldier, collapsing past and present into a quiet meditation on conflict and remembrance. Images: Qu Leilei, Sacred Truths, 2024; Invincible, 2020, Ink on Xuan paper.

'MIRROR OF THE META: Incredible Reality' by @YipTim is now open at the Asprey Studio gallery in Mayfair, London, following yesterday’s preview event.

🎨 Where are the Da Vincis? High-value art demands absolute privacy and security. Alastair Walker of @AspreyStudio joins #PrivacyInMotion with @MidnightNtwrk and @brave to reveal why collector anonymity is a security necessity, not a preference. Fusing physical art with immutable digital artifacts onchain creates uncrackable provenance, ensuring the masterpiece is secured against fraud for generations. ▶️ Watch the full video here: youtu.be/JTLClvZFe3U [Partner Content]
