“Salinas” by Emmanuel Tolentino Santos

Natural farming methods have been replaced by mechanised alternatives to answer ever higher demands for food and agricultural produce. This results in soil degradation which hampers future food production.

The significance of January 12 is something person

The significance of January 12 is something personal to Yew Chong and it was set as the date for the exhibition
opening for a specific reason. It is the artist’s birthday, and more importantly, an element which he features in his art,
in the form of a traditional calendar painted in many of his murals. The inclusion of his birthday into his works adds a personal and playful touch and is one of the clues left by Yew Chong in his murals for his fans to discover and to foster
a deeper understanding of his work.

3 more days to the opening of Yip Yew Chong’s first solo gallery exhibition titled “Something, Somewhere, Somewhen”. Are you excited?

“An artist like Yip Yew Chong is incredibly important to our art scene and country. His practice of capturing the ordinary Singapore everydayness on street murals, preciously preserves our very own distinctive cultural and historical identity, that is constantly lost in an increasingly urbanised Singapore.”

Meet “Mudita”. Mudita means joy in Sanskrit, specifically the joy or pleasure that comes from delighting in the success of other people.

“Mudita” aligns with Art Porters’ mission, sharing happiness with art. This beautiful creature in our gallery brings us joy, and we hope, with your help, to spread and share this joy. Please share and like the post, in the name of Mudita!

“Mudita” is Mulyana’s first time creating a version of the Mogus available for collectors on its own, this time with an edition of 10.

The Mogus is the artist Mulyana’s alter-ego, first created in 2008. Its name is a combination of three words, Monster, Gurita (Octopus) and Sigarantang (Mulyana’s clan name). The Mogus is made of knitted pom poms from unused bulky yarn, adapted from images of marine life with its beautiful diversity and mystery.

Mudita is a part of Mulyana’s “The Messenger” exhibition. It is his first solo exhibition in Singapore and it also features his first wearable art pieces.

The exhibition is held until 7 March 2021.

‘The Messenger’, Mulyana’s first solo exhibi

‘The Messenger’, Mulyana’s first solo exhibition in Singapore is open! Come see the Indonesian artist’s iconic and vibrant sea coral soft sculptures pieces, his signature octopus-like creatures and alias ‘Mogus’, and for the very first time two wearable artworks, all of which are part of a deeper #message. We are open till 7pm tonight as usual. The exhibition runs until 7 March 2021.

Happy Sunday! 🤿🐙🐠🦞

1 more day to the opening of “The Messenger” at Art Porters Gallery. See you in the gallery.

In 2008, Mulyana created his alter-ego, the Mogus. Its name is a combination of three words, Monster, Gurita (Octopus) and Sigarantang (Mulyana’s clan name). The Mogus is made of knitted pompoms from unused bulky yarn, adapted from images of marine life with its beautiful diversity and mystery.“In God’s eyes, our being in this life is to eventually go to a beautiful place,” says Mulyana for whom art making is a privileged way of “showing gratitude to our Creator who gives him a sound mind and a healthy body to be part of life on earth”. Often, Mulyana speaks of his work with vigorous reference to spirituality and a sense of a higher being guiding his act of creation.

Coming real soon to a happy gallery near you.

3 more days to the opening of Mulyana’s first solo exhibition in Singapore titled “The Messenger”. Are you ready for the show?

Mulyana is an artist based in Jogja, Indonesia. His works revolves around soft sculptures made out of yarns and felts which he knits and crochets into unique coral-like forms. To him, the act of knitting or crocheting is a form of meditation and prayer. Modular in nature, his works serves as a reminder that we are all capable to create beauty and to share kindness.

He famously took part in Imaginarium organised by Singapore Art Museum in 2016, and created for famed fashion house Hermès an installation for their window displays at their Liat Towers �flagship store (1st quarter of 2019).
