ART ENCOUNTERS BY ART OUTREACH: “Till the Last Blossom” by Ashley Yeo

For its ninth edition, Art Encounters by Art Outreach, a long-running travelling exhibition series housed in repurposed shipping containers, travels to the outdoor atrium of Plaza Singapura from 17 September to 24 October 2022, featuring an original, site-specific paper installation and wall mural, alongside rarely-seen drawings and sculptural objects by local artist Ashley Yeo.

Step into an intricate and delicate cascading paper installation that expands on Yeo’s interest in the material as one of her larger and more elaborate paper-based installations to date, and enjoy a display of other paper works that demonstrate her laborious artmaking process, including a filigree paper cube and screen installation.

Also on display is a series of rarely exhibited pigment-on-paper drawings, created with a mechanical precision that belie their hand-drawn nature, and which reflect the importance of natural elements and floral symmetry to Yeo’s body of work.

In keeping with Art Encounter’s mission to bring art closer to the public, the artist will be live-drawing a pastel mural inside the container on the opening weekend (September 17 and 18), and continue to be present on Saturday afternoons (September 24 and October 1, 8, 15, 22) to interact with visitors and present paper-cutting demonstrations that reveal her fascinating technique.

Younger visitors can also try their hand at decorative paper cutting and make their own candle holders and paper decals at an educational activity station available daily throughout the exhibition.

Date: ​​17 Sep to 24 Oct 2022
Time: 11am to 9pm daily
Plaza Singapura (Outdoor Atrium)
