The newest attraction to Singapore’s blossoming art scene is an upcoming contemporary art show, set to be held toward the end of this month in a sprawling space at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre.
The brand new art fair will commence with a special event just for VIP attendees, and then it will be open to public ticket holders for the remainder of the time over the rest of the weekend.
The theme for the show is “A World of Art,” and the entire event will feature thousands of masterpieces from artists all around the globe. Many of the pieces that will be highlighted in the event have never been displayed in Singapore, making the event even more of a draw to lovers of art around the nation and broader region. Artworks by creatives from more than a dozen different countries will be represented at the art show, with artists from Singapore itself well represented. Many of the artists whose work will be on display are new to the art scene as a whole, meaning that the ideas and compositions they will present will be fresh takes from emerging names. Now is a great time to see burgeoning artwork and invest in up and coming artists as they win prizes and receive good feedback at auction events.
As a special promotion, all those individuals wishing to attend the contemporary art show who purchase their ticket in advance — available for one day or all three days — can also bring a friend to the show for free. Tickets at the door cost the same as advance tickets, but the extra free admission isn’t included.
A few examples of the artwork that will be a part of this enormous show are appropriately surreal and contemporary. One such masterpiece from a South Korean artist features a composition drawing many different ideas together. At the bottom, a serene scene of waves crashing onto the shore seems to hold everything else up. The everything else is what makes the painting particularly interesting. Anchored by a shiny, bright red purse is a bouquet of flowers, a parrot flapping its wings, a tiger yawning on a pedestal, a nude male marble statue in repose, fading away to wildflowers, and a zebra lingering in the background. All of the individual parts come together to create a surreal but engaging masterpiece that visitors will be sure to linger over.
Contemporary art is art created now, by artists living in our time and using their masterpieces to make commentary about society and life today.
