Art: Maria Taniguchi – Afterimage at Singapore Art Museum

There is a temptation to describe Maria Taniguchi’s work as meditative. For nearly two decades, the Filipino artist has devoted herself to painting what appears, at first glance, to be the same image: vast fields of carefully hand-painted rectangles, meticulously built one brushstroke at a time until they resemble endless brick walls. Their monumental scale, subdued palettes and rigorous repetition have often led viewers to … Continue reading Art: Maria Taniguchi – Afterimage at Singapore Art Museum

Art: Hiroshi Sugimoto – Form Is Emptiness explores time, consciousness and seeing at SAM @ Tanjong Pagar

One of the first impressions inside Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form Is Emptiness is not visual in any straightforward sense, but atmospheric. The galleries seem to slow the body before the mind has time to interpret what is happening. Sound falls away into a low, diffuse hush, not quite absolute silence, but instead the softened acoustics of carpeted distance, of people unconsciously lowering their voices as they … Continue reading Art: Hiroshi Sugimoto – Form Is Emptiness explores time, consciousness and seeing at SAM @ Tanjong Pagar
