Leading contemporary art investment gallery Art Works, is where breathtaking artistry converges with a broadening global reach. In showcasing up and coming artists, handpicked and curated by Global Fine Arts Director Cassi Young, Art Works brings new perspectives, nurtures promising creative forces and gives new life to art beyond the emerging artists. Located at One Holland Village, Art Works Gallery continues its visionary mission to support the promising careers of exceptional young talents with an upcoming exhibition dubbed “Perception” — featuring the likes of London-based artists Araminta Blue, Callum Harvey and Max Boyla.
That being said, LUXUO had the opportunity to attend the opening night of Art Works Gallery’s “Perception” exhibition, along with Cassi Young and her dedicated Art Works team, featured artist Araminta Blue and over 80 of Singapore’s knowledgeable art collectors. The sophisticated space was abuzz with discussion amongst mingling guests and the walls spotted with the spectacular works of none other than young talents, Araminta Blue, Callum Harvey and Max Boyla. The skilled brushstrokes of the visionaries were put on display to showcase their distinct response of how they articulate reality through their unique practice and challenge conventional notions of form, space and meaning.
A panel discussion was held with Art Works global fine arts director Cassi Young and featured artist Araminta Blue, hosted by Heart Media CEO Olivier Burlot. With experience as the former Director of Post-War & Contemporary Art at Bonhams, Cassi Young’s unparalleled expertise is a huge asset in meeting the rapidly growing demand for fine art in Singapore and APAC markets. Young’s insightful advice to individuals looking to start collecting — she stressed the importance of being well researched as well as speaking to knowledgeable art advisors to fully immerse oneself in the art world and to navigate the multi-dimensional world of art.
Araminta shared insights into her creative process, highlighting her passion for discussing different interpretations with those who view her art. She mentioned how these conversations inspire her future projects. Additionally, she elaborated on her conversation with the two other featured artists Callum Harvey and Max Boyla, all of whom placed much importance having the art “exist in the room with you”. In admiring the material in person, it is easier for individuals to establish an emotional connection with it.
Perception will run from 24 October to 24 November 2024 at Art Works Gallery, One Holland Village, 7 Holland Village Way, Singapore.
