Visual Art: Dawn Ng’s ‘The Earth Laughs in Flowers’ unveils the universe’s secrets in masterful use of colour and the abstract

There is a moment, just after stepping backstage at Singapore Repertory Theatre’s KC Arts Centre, when the outside world falls away. The usual orientation of theatre-going is reversed: instead of facing the stage, you enter and are on it. Darkness settles in. Sound softens. And suddenly, you are no longer an audience member; you are inside a mindscape. The Earth Laughs in Flowers unfolds within … Continue reading Visual Art: Dawn Ng’s ‘The Earth Laughs in Flowers’ unveils the universe’s secrets in masterful use of colour and the abstract

Visual Art: Kwai Fung Hin Singapore’s debut exhibition celebrates Monet’s garden and its afterlife

Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery’s inaugural exhibition in Singapore unfolds with an unhurried confidence. Located along South Beach, Worlds Beyond Reality – Monet’s Legacy II adopts a slower tempo, one that mirrors its central metaphor of cultivation. The exhibition does not simply trace influence from Claude Monet to Asian artists across generations; it examines how landscapes are made, tended, and inhabited, and how artistic vision … Continue reading Visual Art: Kwai Fung Hin Singapore’s debut exhibition celebrates Monet’s garden and its afterlife

Visual Art: NTU Museum’s “On the cusp” features new works inspired by memory, identity and transitions

Something about Nanyang Technological University’s campus feels different. By the lake, a pavilion hums with unseen histories. On a grassy lawn nearby, a sculptural capsule seems to have landed from another time. And inside a bustling student plaza, a familiar household object begins to behave in unfamiliar ways. This is On the cusp, NTU Museum’s latest campus-wide exhibition, where art inhabits everyday spaces and asks … Continue reading Visual Art: NTU Museum’s “On the cusp” features new works inspired by memory, identity and transitions

Visual Art: Kim Association presents ‘Alliance’ – Shaung Li’s first solo exhibition in Southeast Asia

Walking down Singapore’s River Valley, it’s easy to forget how strange our sense of place has become. Trains arrive on time. Screens glow steadily. News of floods, fires, and storms elsewhere scrolls past in real time, absorbed between meetings and meals. It’s precisely this dissonance—between speed and stillness, proximity and distance—that artist Shuang Li taps into with Alliance, her first solo exhibition in Southeast Asia, … Continue reading Visual Art: Kim Association presents ‘Alliance’ – Shaung Li’s first solo exhibition in Southeast Asia

Visual Art: Yanyun Chen and Dave Lim’s ‘Rotan Rattan – Meditations’ at Esplanade Tunnel

In Singapore, childhood discipline occupies a peculiar and uneasy place in collective memory. Rooted in the belief that hardship cultivates virtue, physical discipline was long distinguished from punishment. It was framed as care, as moral instruction, as a necessary measure for shaping obedience and respectability. Yet for those who experienced it, the body remembers pain before it remembers reason. In their new exhibition, artists Yanyun … Continue reading Visual Art: Yanyun Chen and Dave Lim’s ‘Rotan Rattan – Meditations’ at Esplanade Tunnel
