My Highlights from Art Stage Singapore 2015
As it turns out, some of my selections are by young emerging artists, who create very solid and interesting artworks. While I provide notes on those particular works, the more senior artists speak for themselves.
My Selection:
Lei Wang, “China Daily” From Jan.1 2013 to Dec. 31 in 2013, No.3, 2013, at Eternal Art Space
Lei Wang is very clever in turning an archive (here, a newspaper) into a work of art. He is very meticulous in every detail of his work.
Wawi Navarroza, TIERRA SALVAJE n৹ III, 2014, at Silverlens
In this particularly interesting work, Wawi Navarroza combines her photos with mixed-media drawings, contrasting the reality captured by photography with her interpretation of that particular image.
Wu Jian’an, The Mountain Trapping the Dragon, 2014, at Beautiful Asset Art Project
Izumi Akiyama, Work II, 2014, at Kobayashi Gallery
Although the artist is still young, her mastery of pencil on paper is fascinating.
Titarubi, Imago Mundi, 2013, at Galerie Michael Janssen
Titarubi presents her interpretation of Indonesia’s history as the Dutch East Indies under colonial rule, using gold-plated whole nutmeg. What lies behind the nutmeg is a dark, brutal history of conquest in the Bandas Islands.
Leandro Erlich, The Cloud (2014) Dog head, 2014, at Art Front Gallery
Alfredo and Isabel Aquilizan, Dwellings 1, 2014, at Art Front Gallery
