In Dialogue
Ota Fine Arts Singapore is delighted to present “In Dialogue”, a group exhibition featuring 8 artists. Ranging from drawing and painting to sculpture, the artworks presented come into conversation with one another within the gallery space, and reflect the diversity of expressions of contemporary art today.
Maria Farrar (b. 1988, Philippines) depicts scenes derived from her everyday life or from fragments of memories, bringing forth personal themes in her work while exploring the presentation and behaviours of women of today. Contrastingly, Atreyu Moniaga‘s (b. 1987, Indonesia) paintings embody the fantasies and anxieties of urban dwellers from a younger generation, reflecting on the unpredictability and chaotic journey of personal growth.
Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929, Japan) synthesizes contrasting concepts and forms of positive and negative spaces, figuration and abstraction, microscopic and macroscopic views of the universe, providing a glimpse into her state of mind. Similarly, Mannat Gandotra’s (b. 2001, India) paintings exude an intense energy through her dynamic compositional structures of line, colour and form. In contrast, Guo-Liang Tan’s (b. 1980, Singapore) indirect approach to painterly expression presents coloured surfaces with traces that embody residual images of the production process, visualizing the memory of the fabric itself.
Hilmi Johandi’s (b. 1987, Singapore) paintings feature deconstructed motifs derived from the national archives, as he reinvents spaces, planes and forms. Zai Kuning (b. 1964, Singapore) adopts a research-based approach as part of his artistic process. His work is inspired by his interactions with the Orang Laut and his observations of their ways of life. Lastly, having grown up in mixed cultural communities, Rina Banerjee‘s (b. 1963, India) multi-faceted creations fuse the boundaries between East and West. Banerjee reflects on the density of the urban experience by suggesting disparate phenomena to coexist within the same framework.
In celebration on Singapore Art Week 2025, Ota Fine Arts Singapore hopes to showcase the diverse expressions of these artists.
