Sight - An Oracular Insight ( A Singapore Art blog)

" Art's ultimate value lies in its ability to contain, in surprising intimacy, something of the man's world, past and present. It represents a human encounter that promises meaning. In the degree to which it reconciles man to nature, to his own domain, his own condition, and his own authentic self,art extends the individual beyond the limits of his restricted field. It broadens the dimensions of reality by transforming sight into " a kind of oracular insight." - Singapore Art Blogger

A nude painting of a woman entitled Charisse..

And David Chew from Today does not think it is all that 'safe' anymore...

And Dr McCalman, one of the judges, and MD of Sotheby's Institute of Art, says that 'the quality level, especially in the abstract art and youth categories, is really, really high.'

Two 'reallys'. Praise indeed.

Tell me what you think? Write in will ye..
