With the rising prominence of contemporary Indonesian art on the global art scene which has been attracting the strong interest of international art collectors, SBin Art Plus presents Recent Art From Indonesia: Contemporary Art Turn, one of the most extensive exhibitions of Indonesian art to date in Singapore.
Reflecting the increased intensity of contemporary Indonesian art, the exhibition is a vivid, emotional and expressive showcase of fresh artistic perspectives by 40 of Indonesia’s most talented artists both established and emerging. These include renowned artists Christine Ay Tjoe, Ugo Untoro, FX Harsono and Agapetus A Kristiandana.
Specially selected as a compilation of modern artistic representation to enhance the Indonesian contemporary art appreciation experience, the exhibition features a total of 60 art works of sculpture, painting and installations in mediums which range from acrylic and oil on canvas, to ceramic, wood and bronze.
According to the exhibition’s curator Asmudjo Jono Irianto, the exhibition is a visual statement of how the latest state of contemporary art in Indonesia has been affected by the global art scene, yet at the same time retains its distinctive “localness”.
He said: “Fluid and plural, this exhibition does not limit itself to artworks with a certain theme or direction but showcases the variety of current concerns and messages in Indonesia through different mediums.”
Recent Art From Indonesia: Contemporary Art Turn opens on 8 May at 3pm and will run through to 18 May. The gallery is open from 11.00am to 5.00pm on Sundays and public holidays and is closed on Mondays. The exhibition is held at SBin Art Plus at 140 Hill St. MICA Building #01-10/11/12 Singapore 179369. Contact number: 6883 2001. http://www.sbinartplus.com
