Metamorphosis By Aileen Toh Exhibition Poster

 

Aileen Toh graduated from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 2008.  She is a committee member of the Sculpture Society (Singapore) and she won the 6th CDL Singapore Sculpture award in 2016. 

 

“Metamorphosis” is Aileen’s 8th solo exhibition and the use of upcycled wood for the sculptures in this exhibition continues her emphasis on sustainability in her art practice.

 

Metamorphosis means profound change.  The sculptures on exhibit were created during the past two years of the Covid-19 pandemic.  It presents the journey of those who fought during the pandemic to overcome their fears, and create profound changes in their mindsets to achieve breakthrough, where they find their wings and soar.

 

Note: Aileen will be giving a talk "Sculpturing from Nature" at library@orchard on 15Oct 2.30pm.

卓雅兰2008年毕业于南洋美术专科学校。现任新加坡雕塑协会理事。作品经常参与新加坡的艺术展览以及国际展。她在2016年第六届CDL Singapore Sculpture 比赛获的大奖。

 

“蜕变”是雅兰的第8次个展。本次展览中的雕塑作品使用了再生木材，延续了她在艺术实践中对可持续性的重视。

 

蜕变的意思本指蝉蜕壳的大自然形态变化过程。“蜕变”要表达的是一群在疫情下挣扎求“自捆”的过程，到另一个”脱捆”,寻求解放的巨大心理里程。这需要人内在强大思维上的调适及谦卑学习心态的转化，才能融入生活新常态。这就是“冬眠”后的新生，让我们珍惜“蜕变”后的生命，积极活出光彩的生命力，让生命的翅膀展翅飞翔。
