Resonance features an exceptional lineup of contemporary artists whose distinctive styles reflect their recent achievements in the art world.
The artists showcased in this exhibition are renowned for their innovative approaches and have garnered notable recognition through various institutional exhibitions, prestigious awards, and commercial collaborations.

From the pioneering “Rainbow Artist” Ay-O (b.1931, Japan) to the playful pop art of Philip Colbert (b.1979, UK), the lineup underscores Whitestone’s commitment to both established masters and emerging innovators. The show also features Soonik Kwon (b.1959, Korea), known for his signature technique, and the collaborative duo Julie & Jesse (b.1980, Hong Kong / b.1975, USA), whose most recent series is inspired by Chinese scholar’s rocks. Alongside them, Whitestone’s primary artists — Miwa Komatsu (b.1984, Japan), Jiang Miao (b.1981, China), Chen Yingjie (b.1991, China), and Kohei Kyomori (b.1985, Japan) — with their latest creations. Adding fresh energy to the mix, Bao Pei (b.1960, China) and Dai Ying (b.1983, China) make their Whitestone Hong Kong debut, expanding the gallery’s ecosystem of talent.

I’m particularly excited to present this exhibition, which showcases both the remarkable growth of artists we have long supported, and the fresh perspectives of new talents who have recently joined our gallery.”

Homo Faber 2026: An Island of Light

Homo Faber 2026: An Island of Light

Artistic Direction by Es Devlin, curated by the Michelangelo Foundation
1–30 September 2026
Venice, Fondazione Giorgio Cini

The fourth edition of Homo Faber Biennial, the international celebration of contemporary craftsmanship, will put the work of craft artists from all over the world in the spotlight through 15 immersive installations staged on San Giorgio Maggiore island, Venice, in partnership with Fondazione Giorgio Cini and Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d’Arte.

Es Devlin, Artistic Director of this edition, has collaborated with master artisans throughout her 30-year career and has a deep respect for craftsmanship. For Homo Faber 2026: An Island of Light, she has created a concept that showcases the skills and talents of craft artists selected from around the globe by framing their work with light, a primordial force that is not only at the heart of Devlin’s artistic practice but is also essential to craft, to raw materials and to human life.

The enhancement of human talent through the highlighting – both real and metaphorical – of artisanal and creative work is perfectly aligned with the mission of the Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship, a non-profit organisation based in Geneva that launched and implemented the cultural movement Homo Faber to promote master craftsmanship and creativity globally, celebrate its protagonists and increase their visibility.

Inspired by the archipelago of the Venetian lagoon, Devlin has imagined a narrative that unites the work of hundreds of individual craft artists from across the world – each an island of talent and skill within the wider waters of craftsmanship – on San Giorgio Maggiore. Their exceptional objects, selected by the Michelangelo Foundation, will be placed centre stage in a series of immersive installations within the magnificent rooms and grounds of Fondazione Giorgio Cini. By manipulating light through the use of water, mirrors, movement and more, Devlin will create a journey that illuminates the world of craftsmanship, from the craft artists themselves to their workshops, tools, materials and the exquisite objects they create. Together, these spaces will explore the relationship between light, materials, talent and creativity, revealing how master artisans can use this life-giving energy as a tool to create wonder and joy.
