ATOI ARTS are two collaborative artists currently working in China, England and Ireland. Amy Thomas and Oliver Irvine have been working together for a number of years, initiating ambitious works of art and projects. They recently opened a six month gallery/project space on a high street in the Peak District in which they created sculptures, paintings and performative installations for the general public.

MOVE TO CHINAOn the 1st of August we left England for Xiamen, China.
We have been accepted onto an Artist in Residnce programme with the Chinese European Art Centre in Xiamen. This means Oliver and I have been given a studio, an appartment and exhibitions at the CEAC Gallery for 6 month.
May Lee (an assistent of the CEAC) greeted us at the airport and soon introduced us to Xiamen, showing us: the CEAC, a buddhist temple, local resturaunts where we ate with Nick Renshaw (an artist who has also at the CEAC)Life here is very interesting indeed.
