With incomes rising rapidly among Asiaʼs burgeoning middle class, the region has been transitioning from a saving culture to one where conspicuous spending is unashamedly celebrated as aspirational goals revolve around amassing branded luxury goods.

With shifting attitudes toward the ostentatious display of wealth, Western luxury brands have been flocking to the regionʼs gleaming new malls to meet the ever-increasing demand. Once shunned in communist China, the country is expected to become the worldʼs largest market for luxury goods by 2020.

Curated by art & luxury lifestyle freelance journalist Sonia Kolesnikov-Jessop, “Buy Bye” brings together five talented artists from across the region: Astari (Indonesia), Aíman (Singapore), Han Yajuan (China), Justin Lee (Singapore) and Pham Huy Thong (Vietnam).

The group exhibition, set to open on April 26, aims to investigate how Asian artists have been observing and responding to these societal changes. The opening of the exhibition will also mark the official launch of Vue Privéeʼs new gallery at Spottiswoode Park.
