Synopsis

Together with a group of 14 professional artists ( in fine art / sculpture / ceremics) from Singapore, we would like to invite you to Exogenesis II : Eden Intimacy In A Garden CityAn exhibition to explore the philosophical understanding of Eden, and what it takes to find rest in our busy garden city, with artistic intepretations based on ancient biblical scriptures.

ontinuing on the theme from Exogenesis: Eden From Creation Fine Art Exhibition, held in March 2024 at The Arts House, here comes our second edition in a creative spin-off – Exogenesis II : Eden Intimacy In A Garden City

What it was like before the fall of man, where there was no barriers and no shame between God and man? Will this also be the very Eden that is found at the very end of time? This love story was set long since the beginning of time, fast forward into a modern day metropolitan Singapore- a wonderous Garden city.

Academy Drawing Traditions

The academy drawing and sketching tradition, rooted in centuries of artistic practice, emphasizes disciplined study of form, proportion, and technique. Originating from Renaissance workshops and formalized by institutions like the Royal Academy, it prioritizes meticulous observation and mastery of fundamental skills. Students progress from basic exercises to complex compositions, learning to depict still life and common objects with precision and expression. This tradition values both classical principles and innovation, encouraging artists to push boundaries while maintaining a deep respect for tradition. Through rigorous training and critique, artists within this tradition cultivate a strong foundation for creative exploration and artistic excellence.
