Five young artists from three countries present their works that blur the lines between creative disciplines and the boundaries between art and craft during “New Makers” which is running at Atta Gallery, until May 14.
Formally trained in sculpture, Singaporean artist Ong Si Hui combines marble sculptures with tools or household implements in her recent series which hinges on explorations of tension and balance, while her fellow artist Shayne Phua explores the use of traditional pastry moulds to create new ceramic forms, bringing into question the interplay between artist and artisan, domestic arts versus fine art, tradition and the contemporary.
