Singapore Contemporary Young Artists (SCYA) and HOUSE collaborate to debut a young local illustrator’s first solo exhibition. Based on the theme of ‘Food Obsession’, the visual study on food behaviour features a series of limited digitally printed canvas artworks displayed and available for sale at HOUSE, 8D Dempsey Road from 11th of September to 10th October 2009.
The young artist, Nataliette, also known as the angry hedonist is in her own words, “your typical run-of-the-mill Singaporean”. Designer by day, illustrator by night, Nataliette once dreamed of becoming a doctor but halfway through her course, took a great leap of faith and enrolled into a local art school. Nataliette enjoys telling the world her life’s little stories in her illustrations. She strongly lives and creates by the words of her most revered idol, Oscar Wilde: “To reveal art and conceal the artist is art’s aim.”
Her first exhibition illustrates the icons, symbols and representations of food as they interact with and manifest in the human body. Sub-topics such as vegetarianism, genetic modification, food and morality emerge in her artworks, resulting in images that are a tad whimsical, provocative and not to everyone’s tastebuds. But definitely, food for thought.
Chew on it. It’s another inspirational art exhibition held in the creative space of HOUSE.
Prices range from $150 to $500.
