 Indian Summer is an expression given to a period of sunny, warm weather in Autumn in the Northern hemisphere, typically in mid-October till November, after the leaves have turned but before the first snowfall. Like a luxuriant warm breath of fresh air from the Indian subcontinent, the young award-winning artists in this exhibition bring a hearty note to the Singapore art calendar before the end of the present year.

Hailing from the Western state of Maharashtra which is India’s third largest by area, second largest by population and its richest by wealth, the state feeds Mumbai, India’s financial and artistic capital with its human talent: this crop of emerging painters could well turn out to be the masters of tomorrow. Having been born in or having studied in various districts of Maharashtra, these artists have already begun their career by exhibiting in Mumbai, and now Singapore, for many, their first overseas location.

About the Exhibition

A Tribute to James Dean:

born 08 February 1931,

died 30 September 1955.

As in the Eagles song, “too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye”.

 

James Dean, best remembered clad in jeans and tee-shirt, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, oscillates from ticklish softie to introspective tough guy throughout his three films.

 An icon of freedom, power, and mastery, the car lights up a character, such as the rebellious teenage outsider played by James Dean in the gasoline-soaked “Rebel Without a Cause”. Released a month after his fatal crash in a competition Porsche, this Oscar-winning performance captured the moral decay of American youth, critiqued ineffective parenting, and foreshadowed the growing differences between generations, a continuing trend.

 This collection is a re-interpretation of “outsider” themes from film. The work focuses on Rebel, but including others such as J.G Ballard’s “Crash!,” Guillermo Cain’s “Vanishing Point,” and Stephen King’s “Christine.”   

About the Artists

About the Exhibition

Viewers around the globe will experience our Singapore GP Season 2009. Lee Gilbert translates this raw energy into painted images in his “Wheels and Reels” solo exhibition.

As a painter, he sees technology as central to our culture and as a rich subject for artistic interpretation. Popular media-both film and television-sets the automobile in a social context. Cars represent freedom, power, and mastery: racing cars represent the apex of these desires.

Lee’s semi-abstract work explores these themes, drawing on the unique properties of materials to capture complex interactions among drivers, crew, spectators and the elements of the vehicles in action.
