Kevin Cuturi RSVP to Fresh Take | 6 Feb Enquire Now | Exhibition Catalogue ‘Redemption Through Chaos’ explores the idea that bliss and peace can only be birthed through chaos. Violence has always been our past. From the Greek tragedies to various religious contexts, tranquility only came about after disarray. It is also prevalent in today’s state of affairs where war, violence and suffering inspire the need for peace and stability. Israfil Ridhwan Redemption Through Chaos, 2021 Oil and oil pastel on canvas 80 x 60 cm ‘Umbilical’ depicts a cosmonaut drifting endlessly in space, exploring the vast wonders it has to offer, yet forever bound to the earth by his umbilical cable. He knows he does not belong in the beyond, he is an outsider and will always be. Bryan Sim Umbilical, 2021 Acrylic and wax on wood 61 x 45 cm This painting was made to convey just the right amount of emotions that were felt by the artist at the moment it was made, in hopes of being able to understand the noise around them by selectively painting only what is more necessary, and leaving out what is less so. Afiqa A'mran Necessary, 2018 Oil on canvas 60 x 60 cm   ‘Lie’ comments on the loneliness epidemic that is prevalent in the ageing population. Sat in an animalistic manner in a room with a chandelier, the figure is depicted in a dominating red with exaggerated proportions, yearning for attention as she stares at the audience. Around the red figure, are facades which have been fabricated by her. Vanessa Liem Lie, 2020 Oil on canvas 152 x 122 cm Aisha Rosli: Black Eye Solo Exhibition:  Born in Singapore, Rosli graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) with a Diploma in Fine Art (Western Painting) in 2018. As of last year, Rosli was part of the inaugural roster of artists under c/discoveries, a programme dedicated to supporting young emerging artists helmed by Cuturi Gallery. Her work has since been featured in exhibitions at Sangkring Art Space, Yogyakarta (2018); Coda Culture, Singapore (2019); Cuturi Gallery, Singapore (2020); Unit London, London (2020); and Art Agenda, Singapore (2021).    In Black Eye, Rosli touches on the aftermath of ambiguous situations implicated in the appearance of a black eye, relating to multiple scenarios insinuating states of abuse, distress, anxiety, insomnia. Appearing solitary and detached, the figures emanate a sense of numbness that is both self-contained, yet emanative through to the deceptively recognisable chambers they are confined in.    Watch Aisha Rosli's video to learn more about her and her practice!
