A Unique Approach to “Figuring” Art at National Gallery Singapore’s "Figuring a Scene"

Hi Huneybees,

National Gallery Singapore is gearing up for an exciting new exhibition curated by Dr. Patrick Flores, marking his first curated exhibition for the Gallery since joining as Deputy Director of Curatorial & Research in 2023. Titled "Figuring a Scene" the exhibition promises a sensory journey, offering a fresh perspective on the interpretation of art.

Dr. Flores adopts an unconventional curatorial approach, departing from traditional linear storytelling to encourage novel viewpoints on Southeast Asian artworks and materials. Visitors are invited to let their emotions, imagination, and senses guide them through an exploration of the art creation process and the significance of materials within specific contexts, fostering a deeper appreciation for the intricate nature of artistic creation and its impact on our understanding of history and society.

Sun Yee. Storm. 1959. Oil on canvas, 50 × 60 cm. Collection of National Gallery Singapore.

Through six episodes - shadow, fruit, fire, air, wax, and city - "Figuring a Scene" delves into how elements from nature are depicted in various art forms and acquire broader meanings within historical, societal, and cultural contexts. Visitors can ponder thought-provoking questions about the production and reception of art, the collective staging of exhibition scenes, and the interconnectedness between artistic forms and broader realms of history and everyday life.

For more information about the exhibition and the artworks featured, visit nationalgallery.sg/FiguringAScene.
