There were many pieces which struck me as interesting during the Art Stage Singapore 2011 last week. Did you see me at the vernissage? I took plenty of photos and decided it’s best to split the blog coverage into two posts. Here’s Part 1 and I’m gonna dive right into my favourite pieces.
1. First up is my most favouritest piece (I’m kinda into the whole Honeysuckle/Coral Rose colors at the moment- in keeping with the 2011 Pantone Color of the Year and all, but hey that’ll a totally different blog post). This piece is gorgeous, it’s a photo of winter Amaryliss and the scale! Oh, the scale is friggin’ grand… makes me wanna jump into and start rolling around the creamy peach-colored petals. I can only wish for a wall space big enough at home to display this piece. One day, oh one day, when I move into a loft with ultra high ceilings. ;p *droolz*

2. Moving on next, an oil painting by Chinese artist Zhu Yi-Yong. This painting of a young Chinese girl playing with a red string, shaped into a star is so captivating. I love how the red string jumped off the black and white background, and upon closer inspection, the artist had used small brush strokes to give the string additional dimension. I wish I can bring this home too.
