🖼 INK After the Contemporary
🗓 4 -29 Mar
📍Prestige Gallery
Our annual contemporary ink exhibition returns!
Since late 20th century, contemporary ink has incorporated modern concepts and individual experience on the foundation of traditional ink painting, successfully entering the system of modern and contemporary art. As its presence in exhibitions and the market has matured, a highly recognizable and relatively stable “contemporary ink style” has gradually taken shape—along with the risk of linguistic fixation and increasingly safe modes of creation.
Through flattened compositions, vivid color, and an emphasis on form, line, and spatial relationships, the artists respond directly to individual experience and contemporary consciousness. Ink remains spiritually connected to tradition while opening toward new visual possibilities.

🖼 subconscious.unsolved
🗓 Till 3 June
📍Leica Store South Beach Quarter
"subconscious.unsolved." reflects an ongoing dialogue between Betty Goh's inner world and the external city. Through her visual language “Subconscious”, the work explores psychological states shaped by urban life — where what appears visible often conceals what remains hidden. Emerging from unresolved emotional terrain, the images resist narrative closure and dwell instead within ambiguity and tension. Photographed unposed on the streets of Singapore in single exposure, each frame becomes an instinctive response to instability, perception, and inner conflict — left unsolved.
Come be immersed in her work and leave inspired to see beyond what is visible.

🖼 Flesh and Bones: The Art of Anatomy
🗓 21 Mar - 16 Aug
📍ArtScience Museum
Exhibition traces anatomy as shared language of art and science, where body becomes medicine, cosmos, and vessel for contemplating life, transformation, and afterlife. Expanding beyond Western traditions of anatomical study, it brings into dialogue diverse cultural practices that have long shaped how bodies are cared for, depicted, and understood.
For centuries, human body has been examined through medicine, art, and scientific investigation. Across the world, other systems—ranging from holistic healing to ritual, cosmology, and indigenous medical lineages—developed parallel ways of mapping the body, each grounded in its own philosophies of health, spirit, and interconnectedness.
