Beyond the Surface
by Hélène Le Chatelier
May 9 - June 29

In ​“Beyond the Surface”, Hélène Le Chatelier interrogates the secret and unconscious parts of ourselves, trying to reveal what is hidden from others and sometimes even from us.

Through Chinese ink paintings, sculptures, video and installations, the artist portrays our inner geography and the landscapes we walk along, when we sink within our inner world.
​Shaped by the passage of time, these “Internal Landscapes“ reveal our emotions and feelings, strengths and fragilities, bright and dark sides. She questions the place of silence and introspection as well as the role of physical contacts. In a world submerged by a constant flow of images, sounds and digital data, boundaries between skin and screen become blurry.

Playing with reflections, the artist strives to engage with the viewers and to encourage them to reconsider their own inwardness.

Burning Landscapes
by Hanibal Srouji & Tania Nasr
March 16 - April 30
​ 
​The two artists, Tania Nasr, a ceramist, and  Hanibal Srouji, a painter have left  Lebanon because of the civil war which embrased their country from 1975 to 1990. Both Hanibal’s paintings and Tania’s ceramic works are autobiographical works linked to the history of Lebanon. 
 
This exhibition brings the two artists together around the themes of fire and landscapes.
​It discloses their intimate stories through their singular creations. Their artworks speak of those landscapes that they were forced to leave, of those they have discovered and those that are being built. Their particular use of fire, as an element of creation, reflects the artists’ positive extents.

Archives of the Discarded 

19 Oct - 2 Nov 2016
Extended from 11 - 17 Nov 2016

Group show by Helene Le Chatelier (France), Kavita Issar Batra (India-UK), Pang, (Singapore) and Sharis Garabedian (Armenia) 

The works of these four artists all share a common focus on the ephemeral nature of life and strive to record the passage of time through the observation of everyday mundane objects. 

​Beyond the beauty of their images, the artists strive to remind us that death is the end of all human journeys. The aesthetics of the discarded obliquely epitomize the essence of humanity. 

A workshop and a happening by Syv Bruzeau will be part of this exhibition. 

In conjunction with 5th Singapore International Photo Festival.

Time is Money
Art sold at a price per second 

by MADAME
8 September - 16 October

​Time is money is a well known saying, which means that we should not waste time because we could be using it to earn money.
 
For this show the artist, took this proverb as a departure point to question the value of time and the value of art and recorded  as precisely as possible the time spent to create each of the drawings of the series presented. 
 
Beyond this straight forward approach, this exhibition raises many questions:
 
Can we measure the value of our time by its opportunity cost like the neo-classical economy teaches us? Does it mean that the time spent for learning or for dreaming, for volunteering or for healing, for leisure and pleasure is a waste of time? Can we measure the value of an art piece by the time spent by an artist to create it? How do we measure the time involved in the creation process?
 
Philosophers and scientis have stuggled to define time, while many artists have challenged themselves by striving to represent time.
 
In this exhibition MADAME offers her own answer which is both conceptual and aesthetic.

Queen of Sheba - Singapore Sidewalk
by Kavita Issar Batra
30 June to 28 August

This exhibition encompasses photographs, monotypes and one oversized mixed media painting on canvas, which is an imprint of the Singapore sidewalk.  Following the success of Kavita’s debut solo show of painting, “Of Time, the Elements and their Essence”, “Queen of Sheba” focuses on her creative process. This process starts during morning walks by spotting, observing and collecting natural and urban elements. Sometimes, Kavita is so mesmerized by what she observes that she takes a photo on the spot. Most of the time, the Montage is composed by combining textures, forms and colours.  “Queen of Sheba” refers to the artist’s childhood memory. Kavita enjoyed playing this game, which consisted of collecting pebbles, flowers, leaves and other botanical treasures, during long walks with her mother. Since 2012 she has been reviving this game every morning in her urban neighborhood of Singapore, collecting and composing Montages, which she shares with a growing number of followers on facebook.

Autographic Matters
by June Lee Yu Juan, Hélène Le Chatelier, Pang & Syv Bruzeau
19 May to 26 June

Co-curated by Intersections and by Daryl Goh, Autographic Matters encompasses artworks by two French artists, Hélène Le Chatelier and Syv Bruzeau and two Singaporean artists, June Lee Yu Juan and Pang.  The four artists take the interpretation of an autobiography as a departure point to create a series of self and duo reflections. Connected either by a common medium, Chinese ink, or by a same focus on impermanence and memory, the artworks correspond and intersect like evolving branches and leaves that symbolize the materialization of ideas, fruition and becoming.  “Autographic Matters”, is an exploration, which leads us through the “Three Perfections”, painting, poetry and calligraphy and intersections between western and eastern traditions.  The exhibition includes ink wash art, a collective installation, a poetry book and Butoh dance performances. The performances will take place on 9 & 14 June at 7pm. It is part of Voilah! 2016, the French Festival in Singapore.

Meditative Imprit
by Sharis Garabedian
14 April to 15 May 2016


Born to an Armenian family, Sharis Garabedian grew up and was educated in many different geographical areas in Middle East, Europe and Unites States of America. Hence, she absorbed multiple influences that play a major role in her art. 

Sharis is a multi talented artist, who successfully expresses herself through various media, from photography to ink on paper.

The exhibition Meditative Imprint focuses on her drawings. The artist repetitively uses geometrical and angular shapes to create intricate patterns. With this spontaneous unplanned expression, Sharis reaches another level of consciousness. Almost a form of intuitive meditation, her drawings have naturally demonstrated themselves on a multitude of surfaces, be it paper, canvas, silk or obsidian stone.

Sharis’ work is in the collection of Yerevan Modern Art Museum and the National Gallery of Armenia. She has many private collectors around the world.

Embroidered Dreams
by Savann Thav

Picture
3 March to 10 April 2016 

Embroidered Dreams, by Savann Thav, encompasses intriguing abstract paintings. Many layers of paint give a remarkable texture to his artworks and evoke the complexity of life. Although abstract, Savann’s paintings include a narrative. They talk about various stages of his life: his childhood in Cambodia, his escape as a refugee, his present life in Paris. They reflect his feelings and emotions. They depict internal landscapes and dreams. Organic shapes spring on the canvas suggesting the struggle for surviving and the healing of the artist. Savann chooses abstraction for the freedom of expression it gives. Inspired by embroidery, Savann uses cross stich motives and delicate forms to reconnect with his childhood spent in a country were the nature is bountiful.

Born in Cambodia, Savann lives and works in France since 1980. His work cunningly reflects his personal experience and a universal vision of humanity.

Street Stories
by Khin Zaw Latt & Soe Soe
14 January to 28 February 2016

In tropical Southeast Asia, the streets are open theatres where young and elderly, rich and poor, powerful and humble people play all the acts of their life story. Colourful flower markets, fragrant food markets and food stalls occupy the public space where the kids have their playground.
Street Stories encompasses paintings by two Burmese artists, Soe Soe and Khin Zaw Latt, who encapsulate in their paintings the simple beauty of Yangon cityscapes and the joyfulness of streets kids.

While, Khin Zaw Latt’s talent consists of skillfully depicting the simple pleasures of childhood, Soe Soe’s uses the heavy monsoon rain as a lens to embellish his vision of the city.

Naked Memories
A solo show by Hélène Le Chatelier
20 November to 6 December 2015

Presented & Curated by Intersections
in collaboration with Whitespace Gallery

Beyond the academic endeavour of representing the human body in its ideal state, Helene le Chatelier is interested in portraying the transformation of the body and the elusive nature of our lives. She imagines cartography of remembrance, crystallised in nudes whose contours, like our memories, are sometimes accurate, sometimes hazy. The ink on paper technique allows her to transcend the antagonism between traditional Chinese painting and European painting. Much like in traditional Chinese painting, the brush leaves a void that expresses the quest for reconciliation between the infinite nature of sentiments and the physical limits of the body. Each silhouette captures a unique story and reflects the pursuit for harmony.

The Lady, the Peacock & the Nation
Min Zaw, NCS & Tartie
15 October to 15 November 2015

Each of these three artists has developed a unique style, which reinterprets traditional imagery and technique and appropriates modern and contemporary Western features.

Never directly mentioned, Aung San Suu Kyi, is obliquely present in most of their works, through symbolic representations such as the peacock, the emblem of her political party, and beautiful ladies.

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.

RED Spirits, by Nyein Chan Su (NCS), is a collection of mixed media artworks extracted from four series created between 2006 and 2014. 

 “Living in the Red Eras”,  “Memories for the Future”,  “People” and “Nat” series are connected by the artist’s memories about the social and political situation in his country. In the four series, the artist uses red colour to express a rebellious spirit and to celebrate the new freedom of expression. NCS subtly plays with aestheticism and even with humour to address the darkest issues of contemporary Burmese History. 

Born in 1973, NCS graduated in 1994 from Yangon State University of Fine Arts. Although traditionally trained, NCS was quick to adapt his artistic practice to the most cutting edge artistic language. His artworks are in the collections of the Fukuoka Art Museum and of the Singapore Art Museum.

Through Women’s Eyes… addresses the concerns of a group of Burmese women artists triggered by the present time of transition in their country. Between hopes and concerns, the artworks presented reflect the uncertainties of the artists about the path that the country will follow in a new context of openness and political and economic changes. Through these women’s eyes, we catch a glimpse of a better world in which the future would be built without erasing the past, and where tradition and modernity would be reconciled.
