Wu Xiong: Here and Now

PUBLISHED October 28th, 2015 01:54 am | UPDATED May 8th, 2018 08:37 pm

Internationally acclaimed sculptor and painter Wu Qiong is back in Singapore to present his latest exhibition, Here and Now, from 8 November – 21 November. It is a milestone exhibition for the artist, who is celebrating his transition to bronze sculpting with this presentation.

Taking a year to prepare for this exhibition, the man behind popular post-pop and neo cartoons will be showcasing his latest paintings and sculptures that are characterised by a broader concept. It is an invitation to the state of mind replete with luscious dreamscapes, whimsical characters and compositions. Wu’s distinctive cartoon style is obvious, and it resonates with the aesthetic of a generation absorbed with graphic novels, comics, digital worlds, animation and gaming.

Wu Xiong: Here and Now is running from 8 November to 21 November 2015 at the Ode To Art Gallery @ Raffles City. Admission is free.
