“AMTD Group Inc. has always been a strong advocate for the art and culture industry. Launched in 2012 to provide a new perspective on contemporary art, L’Officiel Art was born as a media in which the artists become the content creators. Each cover of L’Officiel Art is an art piece itself created by a chosen artist. As we strive to provide a platform for different points of view in the creative industries – be it in the form of fashion, design, architecture, lifestyle, cinema or music – L’Officiel Art will be presenting its latest issue featuring a cover by artist Emma Stern, whose subversive paintings fuse traditional oil portraiture with 3D software. With AMTD Idea Group, a subsidiary of AMTD Group Inc., being a Hong Kong-based conglomerate with an international profile, we are excited to present a unique perspective of the current landscape and trends of contemporary art as well as to create deeper connections and conversations between cultures at the biggest art fair in the cultural hub of Asia,” says Dr. Calvin Choi, Chairman of AMTD Group Inc. and L’Officiel SAS Inc.

On the occasion of L'Officiel's debut at Art Basel Hong Kong, we warmly welcome onboard Alison Lo, our new Head of Cultural Affairs and International Markets of AMTD Digital Media and Entertainment Group under AMTD Digital Inc., a subsidiary of AMTD IDEA Group, and L'Officiel SAS Inc. As a strategic, diplomatic and multi-lingual professional, she has a prolific track record in major global art hubs (Hong Kong, London and Berlin) in advancing sustainable partnerships in the arts and culture sector. With over ten years of high-level policy advisory and project management experience, she has developed a strong network with artists, art institutions, international organisations, government ministries, private enterprises, the academia and the media. She recently completed a Master of Arts in Contemporary Art at Sotheby’s Institute of Art (2022) in London, where she took up roles in art advisory, journalism and curating. Her appointment in AMTD Digital Inc. and L'Officiel will add to the cannon of the corporate ambition to accelerate all-rounded developments in the arts, fashion and entertainment industries, injecting positive energies to society and making the world a better place for all.

Alison, together with Aileen Soh, Managing Director, Southeast Asia of L’Officiel, are the representatives of L’Officiel Art at Art Basel Hong Kong.

Founded in 1970, Art Basel is defined by its host city and region, and its Hong Kong counterpart is unique in reflecting its participating exhibitors in Asia. This year’s event is made up of nine sectors: Galleries - 20th & 21st century works from 134 modern and contemporary art galleries; Insights – where 19 galleries from the Asia-Pacific region will be showcasing specially curated projects for the event; Discoveries – spotlighting solo projects from emerging talents internationally; Encounters – a presentation of large-scale sculpture, installation and performance works; Kabinett – focusing on diverse, thematic concepts; Film – featuring eight screenings of 29 films; Conversations – revolving around topics that are related to the global contemporary art scene; and Magazines – displaying art journals and publications from around the world and where visitors will discover AMTD L’Officiel Art – which will also be a part of the Exchange Circle – an open platform for short and experimental presentations.

Ailson Lo, Head of Cultural Affairs and International Markets of AMTD Digital Media and Entertainment Group and L'Officiel SAS Inc, commented, “It is a great pleasure joining the AMTD and L'Officiel family. I look forward to bringing arts and culture to the forefront of our corporate development on the international stage.”
