Michael Janssen Singapore is pleased to present its first solo exhibition with Singaporean artist Wong Lip Chin. Entitled Thousand Knives, this exhibition features a series of seven diptychs – each comprising an oil painting and a stainless steel relief, a pair of colour coated stainless steel chrome sculptures and video work.
An interactive multimedia installation built around an imagined dialogue between two former lovers, the works in Thousand Knivesare presented in conversation with each other. Highlighting how human interactions often straddle the domains of truth and untruth and are charged with multiple layers of conflict, hidden agenda and tension, Thousand Knives explores fundamental aspects of the human condition namely how we come to form social associations, connections and affiliations with those around us and the nature of these relations.
