This Singapore artist, a very prolific one, indeed came up with more adventurous works than the last time.
These images has been updated before the exhibition opening already, but they are ready to be view in the gallery now. Last time we updated with new works, it was three 'From Beyond the Unknown' series, but the ones on display are actually different. As a matter of fact, he ended up delivering us another new painting out of his 'Action Painting' series prior to our opening. You know what to expect of Andre Tan, and you know you won't be disappointed. His creative process never seem to ease down, and we just can't wait to see more of his paintings..! Out of Japan, and through her experiences living in overseas.
It is quite clear that she has been influenced from such experience, and western cultures. For this showcase, she calls the three collection "Hide and Seek" Kyi Wynn, an artist from Myanmar has had his artworks exhibited number of times overseas. In fact, this is not his first appearance in Singapore. He has already been featured in Art Season in 2005, as part of Myanmar Modern Group Exhibition. This time around in Showcase 2010, we feature some of his newer works. Of French President Sarkozy, and USA President Obama, as well as combination of two distinctive Dutch artists; Vincent van Gogh and Piet Mondrian. As well as his previous works, he's artworks are composed of juxtaposition of modern society elements. The composition of elements do not appeal strongly as one wouldn't perceive the artist's opinion straight away, hence it is observably possible; the interpretation and, how one connects such elements are left up to viewers. However one thing that is clear is that viewer can see the calmness in the artworks as artist's wish for peace. Compared to many of western or even some eastern contemporary artworks that speaks out loud against society, Kyi Wynn's artworks are not very aggressive as such. However, given the fact that art contexts are somehow oppressed in Myanmar, that buyers actually do go visit artist personally to purchase the artworks, because they cannot be exhibited in public places that grants access to everyone, and possibly could influence in any way, one can clearly see that Kyi Wynn subtly speaks out through his works.
