InkMagination: Transcending the East/ West Dichotomy
While ink painting epitomizes the spirit and identity of Chinese art, modern and contemporary movements have transcended time and nationality. Contemporary artists have transformed the medium of ink art to more than mere ink and paper, integrating new techniques and artistic forms.
InkMagination explores the fusion of Oriental and Western elements in the work of a young Singaporean artist, June Lee Yu Juan and in the practice of a French artist, Hélène Le Chatelier.
InkStallation
Syv Bruzeau will take you on a journey of shadows and lights, memories, space, silence, senses and the unknown. Using Butoh’s sensibility and poetry, Syv will guide you into the paintings, perceived as a reflection of the soul.
She will create an ephemeral installation, echoing the artworks by connecting black strings as a metaphor for the stroke of the brush and the threads of our memories.
