The Artbridger Sponsorship Program reflects a commitment to supporting artists beyond commercial transactions, offering the infrastructural backing, critical mentorship, and international mobility required for long-term career longevity. Operating as an incubator for artistic practice, the initiative connects artists with established curators, critics, and market professionals to refine their work, articulate their critical narratives, and navigate complex institutional frameworks. By facilitating access to global residencies, curatorial site visits, and group exhibitions alongside dedicated editorial profiling and critical writing, Artbridger ensures an artist's practice is documented with rigor and presented thoughtfully to global audiences, prioritizing sustainable creative autonomy over immediate market turnarounds.
Artbridger is a curated platform working with a focused roster of contemporary artists across painting, sculpture, digital, and mixed media. Our selection process is deliberate and research-driven, based on studio visits, portfolio review, and long-term practice assessment. We look for artists with a consistent body of work, a clearly developed visual language, and a commitment to professional growth. Beyond aesthetic quality, we consider exhibition history, production capacity, and readiness for international presentation.
Artbridger helps artists break out of local markets and build lasting, international careers. We provide the essential tools, expert guidance, and global network you need to take the next step with confidence. Joining our platform connects you directly with curated physical and digital exhibitions, gallery partnerships, and an international audience of dedicated collectors.

Tse has always drawn and painted animals. Her award winning work at the V&A is a doe. Her painting “The tangled root of our forrest” has the character of a technical exercise, a study in how to draw different types of animal. In this work she has drawn a bestiary in which all of the animals depicted - predators and prey - are presented in harmony. This is achieved, in part, by the way in which the shape of one fits into another such as when the curve of the spotted deer’s back, neck and head, helps to delineate the head of the panda.

‘The Tangled Roots of Our Forest’ is 4 colour abstract painting, just simple yet vague lines with 4 colours. I actually got the inspiration from Chinese artist Zhang Xiaogang’s portrait paintings. The simplicity of the colours and lines encourage audiences to focus on the expressions of the characters. The beautiful nature, especially animals have always been the core inspiration in my practice. From art about rural life and growth, to myths and legends, animals are expressed in different mediums and forms in my work. I am determined to explore the relationship to wildlife, which help me think about how we care for animals andenvironment.
