In the Eye of the Beholder
What attracts you to a painting? To most laymen, the initial response would likely be associated with an emotion ranging from “it makes me happy” to “the colours are so vibrant.” There are no right or wrong answers. Art appreciation is a matter of personal taste and interpretation.
Art Forum’s “Significant Works On Display” showcases artworks that convey a spectrum of emotions. From colour tones and brushstrokes to subject and mood, each painting appeals to us differently. It’s up to us to find the meaning or significance of each piece. Hence, the saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.
Founder and owner Marjorie Chu has been nurturing artists in Southeast Asia and beyond for the past 50 years. To this day, she continues to discover, support and elevate Asian contemporary art and make space for talent and promise.
The Art Forum gallery has an aura of calm and comfort. There is no fancy marble floor or permanent décor; the walls are all white. This is all by design. Marjorie doesn’t want the gallery to be intimidating. She wants it to be welcoming, where we can take our time to appreciate the artwork on the wall.
“Significant Works On Display” has Marjorie’s latest picks to bridge the gap between artists and the public. Whether you are an aficionado, a collector or a newbie, we encourage you to pop in but do let her know you are coming. Her heartwarming stories behind each painting and its artist will make you appreciate art even more.
