Following the highly successful year of 2014 with the grand celebrations of our 20th Anniversary, we are excited to commence 2015 and present Urban Art, an exhibition featuring a refreshing array of works from some of our finest contemporary artists who demonstrate innovation, experimentation, and dexterity while crafting in a diverse range of materials. Our present-day’s urban landscape is becoming progressively congested; as the bustling streets of Singapore are increasingly urbanized and industrialized. As art encroaches back into urban dwellings, we are presented with an artificial reimagining of nature. With Urban Art, Opera Gallery intends to bridge the gap between nature and industry by presenting artworks with a fusion of both creativity and the essence of city life. A collision of organic and man-made concepts are brought to life in a cutting edge display that will breathe life and art into the prestigious Orchard Road. The exhibition will feature Park Chan Gul’s increasingly world-renowned sliced steel images, Yi Chul Hee’s sublime abstract form of sawed pipes, a glimpse of Kang Sung-Hoon’s empyreal ‘Windymals’, Lee Gil Rae’s monumental zoomorphic copper pine trees, and Pierre Matter’s mythical hybrids.
Alongside these outdoor sculptural displays, bedecking our gallery walls at ION Orchard will be a showcase of artworks by notable urban artists involved in the street art movement as well as those who are proficient in contemporary mixed-media art forms. These include the likes of world-renowned street artist Shepard Fairey, the Father of stencil graffiti Blek le Rat, as well as other graffiti artists such as SEEN and C215; British artist Joe Black, who is recognized for his exquisite assemblages of innumerable lego bricks, candles, or toy soldiers; urban art extraordinaire Nick Gentry, whose art distinctively focuses on recycling obsolete media, and Michael Mapes, widely known for his scientific canvases of forensically compartmentalized images. We proudly present you with this sensational and invigorating exhibition featuring today’s young and innovative urban art virtuosos in both indoor and outdoor landscapes of Singapore in January to start the year 2015 and with this we wish all a wonderful start to the year. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Gilles Dyan Opera Gallery Group Founder & Chairman
