The gallery has gotten a little quieter now. Yesterday was the last day for our colleague Rachel, who will be leaving us to continue her studies in NAFA. Rachel has been a valuable member in our team and always ready to share about the works in the gallery with whomever walks in! You might had the chance to meet and talk to her during your visit to our gallery. We wish her all the best for her studies and looking forward to great things from her!

“No words can truly express my deep gratitude to the Art Porters team. Thank you, Guillaume, Sean, Melvin, and Jarren for guiding and nurturing me. I value your friendship and support, and I've learned so many lessons from the entire team! Thank you to all members of the public, artists, and collectors for your generosity. Every end is a new beginning, but I will miss the kindness of such brilliant people. I wish only the best to Art Porters Gallery and its team!” #idontwanttoloseyou

Thanks Art Daily for featuring us in global news yet again today! “We are all humans” states Sue Gray in her solo “Bottles” at Art Porters Gallery in Singapore, a parable for the human condition. “In the supermarket shelves where their beauty attracted the Singapore-based South African artist, the bottles are of all kinds of shapes, sizes, colours, content — all in glass, at the same time pure and fragile, all of a gorgeous unique and equal beauty, an invitation to discover, acknowledge, celebrate, fall in love with the beauty in each of us” said Guillaume Levy-Lambert in the e-catalogue (link in bio).

Art Porters is proud to announce “Bottles” by Singapore-based South African artist, Sue Gray.

Holding a belief that beauty can be discovered even in the most unexpected places, here the shelves of a grocery store, Sue’s attention to beauty in the mundane is a reflection of her enthusiasm for objects, the process of collecting, and arrangement of things. Initially drawn to the nostalgia evoked by the bottle designs, her works capture their beauty with reverence and respect, showing deep appreciation for everyday items that have intertwined with our lives. Ever hopeful that the era of overconsumption and maximalism will cede to more mindful and intentional connections, “Bottles” aims to present an earnest defence of modest objects that have an innate beauty and function.

The artist’s large-sized hyper-realistic paintings of traditional ornate glass bottles are stunning! The bottles’ beauty is at equalised and magnified at the same time, the exotic and nostalgic become familiar and contemporary.

Previews are free and easy this Thursday (May 20). The exhibition opens officially from 21 May to 27 June, in a spectacular space at 63 Spottiswoode Park Road, right next to Art Porters.

Both spaces remain open daily except Mondays and public holidays from 10.30 am to 7 pm. Safe management measures apply, please keep your distances from other visitors and wear your mask at all times.

Art Porters is thrilled to announce “Licht, Lieb

Art Porters is thrilled to announce “Licht, Liebe, Leben”, 白䅠山 (Bettina Schleier)’s first solo exhibition in Singapore. “Licht, Liebe, Leben” translates to “Light, Love, Life” and is the signature of German philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder, whose humanistic approach to the natural sciences greatly inspires 白.

A core belief of the Singapore-based Austrian artist is that science is not separate from art. Aesthetics can be found in nature in the form of data, known and unknown to us. We are constantly searching for meaning and connections in our lives. Art can be a language of science that translates data around us.

白’s artworks combine electronics and sensors with organic, everyday materials found in South East Asia, inviting the audience to interact, measure and reveal the natural data around us. “Licht, Liebe, Leben” raises important questions: how can science and art unravel the mysteries of our universe? And thereafter change the way we derive meaning from nature and our environment?

Earth Day 2021 🌍 To commemorate this special

Earth Day 2021 🌍

To commemorate this special day of prioritising the greater protection of our planet, our world, and our home, Art Porters poses a question from a different perspective to everyone. Instead of asking the question of what we are doing to protect the world, let us take a different look within and ponder, what are WE doing to harm our world?

Sensitive questions as such did not stop Emmanuel Santos, a Filipino artist/photgrapher based in Melbourne, Australia, from asking them. This piece titled “Irisan” is a “visual commentary on the mismanagement of the environment. This photo was taken at Asia Road, Irisan, just outside Baguio City in Philippines. The location was a dumping site for the city’s garbage, including the villages in the outskirts of the city. The accumulation of garbage created a mountain of waste that posed as an environmental hazard to the neighbouring communities. Eventually as feared, a catastrophic event happened when a typhoon and prolonged days of rain caused the site to collapse into a landslide, burying houses beneath it and cutting off road access, further isolating the villages. This is an issue regarding waste management and questionable environmental health, which is widely prevalent in the nation. I feel that I needed to address this issue of social and environmental cancer.”

This work, along with two other works from Emmanuel Santos’s ‘Shadow Earth’ series, as well as his newest hand-coloured works derived from his ‘The Passing of Light’ series, will be showcasing in this year’s Art Fair Philippines. Do show your support to Emmanuel and his works that are unafraid of asking the tough questions!
