Located in the picturesque neighbourhood of Joo Chiat is an exhibition of 10 never-seen-before paintings by artist Wong Lip Chin.
Organised by Yeo Workshop art gallery in partnership with Crane Joo Chiat, Stolen Moment is part of an effort to engage with a local neighbourhood in a more informal setting.
“Here we have the opportunity to meet a neighbourhood of people that can create new interactions and other possibilities for the future of the art scene in Singapore,” says Yeo Workshop founder Audrey Yeo, 40.
The exhibition is on the second level of Crane Joo Chiat that is usually a members-only space for co-working, private functions and events. Stolen Moment, however, is open to the public. Just make your way through the stylish cafe on the ground floor and go up a flight of stairs at the back to find Wong’s large, colourful paintings, characterised by comic book-like figures.
Wong’s work is also about anxiety – arising from his career choice of being an artist. On why he wants to engage the public at Crane, Wong says: “Art is not selfish or discriminatory, it is generous and forgiving – or at least I believe it ought to be.”
