Art Projects Gallery proudly presents Singapore artist Tay Bak Chiang’s solo exhibition titled “The Story of the Stone”. The exhibition also celebrates the opening of Art Projects Gallery’s new gallery space at the newly renovated PMQ in Central, a heritage building formerly known as the Police Married Quarters.
“The Story of the Stone” is titled after a Chinese literature of the same name (also known as “Dreams of the Red Mansion” written by Cao Xueqin) that tells the story of a Stone Spirit in the mortal world. Bak Chiang is particularly inspired by the allegorical portrayal of the Stone, in which a lifeless object could be bestowed worldly experiences and personal expressions. In his distinctive compositions of abstract minimalist forms, striking colors and rich textures, Bak Chiang imbues each of his stone subjects with its individual character and seeks to tell their unique stories.
