NEWS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SINGAPORE 20 AUGUST 2013 The Black Frame Project is the first of a series of exhibitions that features an array of artworks by a group of artists of different calibres, fortes, and artistic orientations. Each commissioned work is produced in a standard-sized canvas the collection of works randomly organised together within a disciplined grid structure, interspersed with blank black frames. A display that pushes the boundaries of conventional exhibits, this installation presents a panoramic view of a variety of creative interpretations of a subject, rewarding the audience with an unadulterated viewing experience replete with intellectual stimulation. The Black Frame Project: YourSingapore showcases a curated

assortment of artwork from a group of local and Indian artists ranging in style, form and expression, bounded only by subject and scale. The exhibition presents an insight into the collective perspectives of Singapore, mainly disparate opinions by two distinct groups of artists; local residents who have lived and worked here, and others whose superficial interpretations are based on second-hand knowledge and brief sojourns. Consisting of over fifty contrasting artistic interpretations and colourful expressions ranging from oil to ceramics on canvas,

photography to painting and abstract to representational art, this project attempts to address the cost of the achievements of a nation that prides itself on cleanliness, efficiency, discipline, safety, and more. In conjunction with this exhibition, Indigo Blue Art is organising a forum, Singapore: An Artists Impression, in which local artists discuss their artwork and exchange ideas, concept and stories that contribute to their works.
