I have mentioned quite a few times how hot the Asian Art scene currently was all over the world. Chinese Art is now commanding very high prices. As a result collectors are turning to Vietnamese or Indonesian Art. A new wing of the Singapore museum just opened yesterday (the official opening will actually be on the 22nd of august) and I visited it this afternoon. 8Qsam supports contemporary and experimental art forms. The reason I wanted to visit was for the first comprehensive international solo exhibition of paintings from the hottest Indonesian Artist of the moment, I Nyoman Masriadi. The works on display forming 'Black is My Last Weapon' highlight Masriadi’s unique visual language of painting – striking visual vocabulary and visual imageries strongly influenced by anime, cyber-gaming and comics. The exhibition features over 30 selected works from private collections in Indonesia, Singapore and Hong Kong, including early works from 1998 to his latest works.
