A plethora of Singaporean artists are a testament to the renewed push for the arts in the country at this year’s Singapore Art Week. Because of a nationwide emphasis on creative expression, more Singaporean artists than ever will be participating in Art Week, elevating arts in the country onto the world stage.
Visitors to the Singapore Art Week will be able to see the masterpiece of Singaporean artists at solo exhibitions, shows at museums and displays at two different art fairs in conjunction with the nine-day-long event. This will give everyone a chance to see how far art in Singapore has come, including initiatives and funding the government has taken to cultivate its own artists.
At one event, a female Singaporean artist best known for painting has gone in an opposite direction, producing a body of work that experiments with animation as well as video and sound art as a direct result of her time in an artistic residency.
Another female Singaporean artist will be pushing herself creatively in the realm of installation art, creating a lush jungle scene that explores human interest in such environments.
Other Singaporean artists can be found at group exhibitions at art schools and institutes across the nation. Any of these Singapore Art Week events would be a good place to get acquainted with the works of one of the country’s new emerging artists. One art expert attributes the growth of art and development of talented artists in Singapore to a renewed focus on art because of the recent opening of National Gallery Singapore. Other art events like Art Stage Singapore have acted as creative incubators for the country’s artists, pushing them into the spotlight alongside other artists from around the globe.
The Singapore Art Week will be a wonderful way to see Singapore artists, international artists and classic works that were responsible in part for Singapore’s creative resurgence. One such artwork is from artistic stalwart Tang Da Wu. Visitors to Singapore Art Week can see the artist’s seminal “Earth Work, 1980/2015” body of work. The exciting exhibit contains iconic masterpieces and work treating the topic of Singapore’s urbanization around that period of time.
