Khairul Anwar Salleh. A Study of 3 Thermos Flasks. 1991. Mixed media on canvas, 100 x 100 cm.

A Study of 3 Thermos Flasks was first shown in Khairul Anwar Salleh’s solo exhibition at the Substation in October 1990. As a painting, it was instrumental as the inspiration behind Faizal Fadil’s readymade sculpture of the same title. The sculpture was made out of thermos flasks purchased from Sungei Road Flea Market and later exhibited at the National Sculpture exhibition at the National Museum in November 1991, provoking questions about what constitutes an original work of art and determines its value.

On display at DBS Singapore Gallery 3.
