REALISM IN ASIAN ART 9 APR - 4 JUL 2010
The exhibition Realism in Asian Art is about the impact of realist approaches to painting in different parts of Asia.
The term ‘realism’ refers more specifically to the 19th-century Western art movement that accentuated the observation of everyday life. In other words, the artist would attempt to represent things as they are in real life. Realist artworks are characterised by their subject matter, and typically they portrayed scenes of peasant and working class life, urban street life and entertainment for the masses. Portraiture was also favoured. This exhibition displays the different kinds of realism that were produced across Asia and is the first-ever attempt to understand a strong and important genre in Asian modern art. Joining until the 4th July 2010 is our own Abdullah Basoeki, to name one of the few.

JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT
Exhibited in Sanur from January 29th to February 23rd, 15 artworks in Darga Galeri.
Basquiat, whose working life of about nine years was truncated by a heroin overdose at the age of twenty-seven. His career, both actual and posthumous, appealed to a cluster of toxic vulgarities.

Basquiat's career was incubated by the short-lived graffiti movement, which started on the streets and subway cars in the early 1970s, peaked, fell out of view, began all over again in the 1980s, peaked again, and finally receded, leaving Basquiat and the amusingly facile Keith Haring as its only memorable exponents. Unlike Haring, however, Basquiat never tagged the subways. The son of middle-class Brooklyn parents, he had a precocious success with his paintings from the start. The key was not that they were "primitive," but that they were so arty.

BOTERO in Singapore
20 monumental sculptures from 9th December – 27th February 2005, Singapore Art Museum, Esplanade, Lim Bo Seng Memorial, and Anderson Bridge
 
Botero is a colossal presence in the visual arts world. This Columbian sculptor and painter, endearingly dubbed as “Colombian’s soul”, is a heavyweight among discerning art collectors, gallery owners, and art afficionados worldwide. He is, without a shadow of doubt a living legend who has charmed the world with his idiosyncratic and inimitable style, and voluptuous and whimsical renditions of human and animal forms.
