The Coolest Art Exhibition In Town You Have To Check Out

by KENG YANG SHUEN  /   September 11, 2017

If you’re bored of doing all your usual weekend suspects (movies, cafes, brunches yadda yadda yadda), why not head down to an exhibition held in an unusual location?

Celebrated art and design e-commerce platform The Artling is holding its annual showcase, entitled the “The Artling Pop-up”, on now till 17 September at Artspace@Helutrans, a warehouse space of sorts located at 39 Keppel Road. Admission is free.

If you’ve heard of the Artling, you’ll know that it’s feted for its excellent curation of contemporary Asian artists – and it’s no different at its pop-up showcase, which features more than 80 artworks by young, rising stars in the Asian art scene, including a piece from Singaporean painter Luke Heng.

Here, we round up a selection of eye-catching pieces to look out for at the exhibition:

The Coolest Art Exhibition In Town You Have To Check Out
#1: Yuansu Series II, #6-34 by Ren Ri, Pearl Lam Galleries
image

Yes, that is actually a real bee hive formed by real bees – the artist, who specialises in beekeeping, controls how the bees form the structure – there are even pieces where the bee hives are formed in the shape of countries.

#2: Long Bridge by Rudi Hendriatno, Gajah Gallery
image

An amazing wooden structure that unfolds into a 4m-long bridge via a wheel mechanism, this piece reminds me of the rickety castle in the Studio Ghibli animated film, Howl’s Moving Castle.

#3: Wrong Done Right by Yeoh Choo Kuan, Richard Koh Fine Art
image

An expressive, abstract piece by young Malaysian painter Yeoh Choo Kuan, I adore this for the masterful blend of colour and texture.

#4: The first duty of love is to listen. by Kang Jun Young, Gallery HUUE
image

One typically thinks of ceramics as precious and delicate but for Korean ceramic artist Kang Jun Young, you’ll find that his pieces are littered with street culture influenced illustrations that contrasts against the gold accents.

#5: Tumpuk Lapis Tampak Batas - Mystic #2 by Fika Ria Santika, Gajah Gallery
image

Those with a taste for the surreal will probably take to this piece by Indonesian artist Fika Ria Santika.
