Synopsis
Anchored by an iconic 1981 work from Singapore's pioneer artist Cheong Soo Pieng, "Inside the Dream of a Durian Seller" is a group exhibition that takes inspiration from Cheong's dreamlike painting of a durian seller. This historic image - ordinary yet surreal - sets the stage for a contemporary reimagining of all the elements within this painting. From its formal qualities grounded centrally by a mysterious opium pipe as a compositional device, to the act of communal eating by women dressed in batik clothing, Singaporeans are able to relate to this symbolic painting of ritual and shared national memory, beyond their love of durians.
With the generous support of OUE Downtown Gallery (Venue Partner).
Artists:
