Thinking About Abstraction | Exhibition Information

Thinking About Abstraction is an exhibition of contemporary Singaporean artists. The exhibition has been developed out of a recognition that there continues to be a vibrant and broadly-based tradition of abstraction in Singapore. This exhibition is presented in two parts, representing three generations of Singaporean artists actively practicing today.

The work presented in this exhibiton Thinking about Abstraction, contests objective representation, giving priority to a subjective expression. With some artists, the work is structured around a series of calligraphic gestures or, in others, semi-transparent layers, imperceptible details, ambiguous forms or use of incongruent (non-traditional) materials. In other cases, the character of the art has been informed by the use of media technologies, most notably digital media. Or, to the contrary, it is the potentiality of subjective expression that allows an artist to use the process of making art as correspondent to meditation, that may be associated with a religious sentiment or beliefs.

Milenko Prvacki (1951)
