10 Artists Share Their Creative Process

An artist's creative process is one of the most intriguing aspects behind an artwork, as each artist has their own unique way of approaching their art practice. However, where does creativity come from? Whether it's sculpting, drawing, or painting, their creative process can either come spontaneously or can be prepared through initial sketches and drafts. Creativity is subjective, deeply personal, and sometimes difficult to be captured on a consistent basis. Many of them keep their mind artistically stimulated by taking walks, going to museums, or reading!  In this article, The Artling looks at 10 artists breaking down their creative process, and sharing what inspires them!

WOAW Gallery & Case Studyo present SANDWORM by CHARLIE ROBERTS

WOAW Gallery and  Case Studyo have worked together to present “Sandworm” an exhibition by American artist Charlie Roberts, which is now open from now till 19th july at WOAW Gallery at 5 Sun Street in Hong Kong. The show features various mediums: paintings and sculpture, resulting in a diverse and dynamic exhibition that draws on cultural and science fiction references. The title “Sandworm” is inspired by American science fiction novelist Frank Herbert's work "Dune" published in 1965. In his novel, Frank Herbert imagines a future on the planet Arrakis thousands of years later where a rare and holy drug named “Melange” is sought for by humanity. The usage of the drug allows the ability to predict the future and prolong life. The protagonist in the novel is determined to get his hands on “Melange”, however, is met by the gatekeeper of the treasure, the Sandworm. The giant Sandworm is able to detect any vibrations on the ground and will devour anyone in search of “Melange”. Therefore, the show titled "Sandstorm" takes its name from this reference: the gatekeeper to a highly prized magical drug.

10 Large-Scale Artworks to Bring Your Space to Life!

The demand for large-scale pieces of artworks has recently increased and risen in popularity - but the questions we ask ourselves is why? Large artworks do not necessarily always need to be in an art gallery or a museum to be appreciated: they work very well in every kind of space and in every style! Large artworks are powerful in that they draw immediate attention to themselves the second someone enters to space its in. They help fill up your empty walls and allows everything else in the room to work around it, in terms of its themes, colors, shapes, and patterns. It can also make your job easier to find other pieces of art for your wall. Large-scale art pieces are best displayed in lobbies (hotel, office etc.), corridors, or even your living room to add class and energy. The Artling looks at 10 large-scale artworks to help bring your room to life!

"UNSCHEDULED" by Edouard Malingue Gallery

As part of UNSCHEDULED, Edouard Malingue Gallery is presenting a booth featuring artist Chou Yu-Cheng (b. 1976, Taiwan). Chou Yu-Cheng’s practice builds, across multiple mediums, a subtle critique of mass media, institutions, and the mechanisms that produce them. A graduate from l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, and the research programme La Seine, Chou has gained international recognition for his dialectical interplay between the source and results of his creations. Through his selective conversations, Chou shapes a minimal yet deliberate set of intellectual and aesthetic tricks, which ultimately play on the properties of art, object and space. Organised by Hong Kong Art Gallery Association, UNSCHEDULED features 12 galleries each exhibiting solo presentations with a focus on modern and contemporary art that has a connection to Asia.   In light of the cancellation of the March art week, UNSCHEDULED strives to re-energise Hong Kong's art scene. Neither a traditional art fair, nor a museum exhibition, UNSCHEDULED is a platform for selling and networking that will present solo exhibitions from HKAGA gallery members. Upholding Hong Kong's unique place as the art centre in Asia, UNSCHEDULED's scope is rooted in a commitment to creativity emerging from the continent.

Sullivan + Strumpf Presents "Flat"

Sullivan and Strumpf Gallery in Singapore is excited to present its first virtual group exhibition, curated by Louis Ho, which can be accessed here with this link. The exhibition features works by 11 contemporary Singapore artists, mostly emerging - such as Fazleen Karlan, Daniel Chong, and Genevieve Leong.  As described by Louis, ‘flat’ is a two-dimensional simulacrum of a three-dimensional space. The aesthetics of this exhibition not only reflect the tenor of life during the lockdown, but also its material conditions of production, shared by many artists, who were cut off from the full range of available resources while the circuit breaker was in effect. "A quick few thoughts on this exhibition: this is a pretty flat show. There’s zero spectacle, most of the works are small-ish, contained, neatly put together. The protracted monotony and ennui and claustrophobia of the past two months in Singapore, and the underlying gloom and anxiety, went into its making, both for myself and - I’m sure - the artists. The trope of flatness is layered, from concept (deadened sentiments) to medium (the approximation of two-dimensionality) to layout (lines grids, squares) to experience (virtual space on a screen)." - Louis Ho In their newly designed viewing room, you can access the virtual exhibition walkthrough and listen to their latest podcast featuring Louis Ho and Jeremy Sharma. They are also sharing a playlist curated by Jeremy Sharma!
