Insight: the capacity to gain an accurate and deep intuitive understanding of a person
In sight of: visible, near at hand or being physically close to an object.

This exhibition presents a series of sculptures made of wire by local artist Victor Tan. His wires take on the human form, exploring existential ideas about humanity, the innocence of the human emotions in the moment, and the passage of time and life.

The exhibition would help the public gain insight into the artist’s creative process.

His sculptures taking on a human form in movements such as sleeping, climbing, running, flight – they come to life, evoking different ranges of emotions within each individual. Although working with common steel wire, each sculpture is different, reflecting and absorbing different lights from the environment, changing the colour and mood accordingly.

Shadows come to play as well, creating a 2D image on the wall. “It begs the viewers now to ask, do we look at the 3D work or the 2D drawings on the wall?”
