Super thrilled to share that my painting ‘Thinking Tamil, Talking Singlish, Eating Chinese’ has been short listed for the prestigious ‘ART GEMINI PRIZE 2019’. 🙏Please do go to the link in my bio👆🏼or the link below to VOTE!! . https://zealous.co/artgeminiprize/opportunity/ArtGemini-Prize-2019---Singapore/shortlist-round/ . . Find further details below. (🔴long write-up alert)👇🏼 . The painting is amongst 34 shortlisted artworks, selected by an esteemed panel of judges and will be exhibited at ArtGeminiPrize 2019 Finalists' Exhibition 9 -15 November 2019 at Gallery NaWei, The Fullerton Hotel, Singapore . . . More about the painting ‘Thinking Tamil, Talking Singlish, Eating Chinese’ Acrylic on canvas with collaged newsprint paper . This is a mundane, ordinary scene of a corner in Tekka Market, Little India, with a little Taoist shrine in the background, where people of different ethnicity, hang out together. In its contrast lies the essence of this composition, where each element brings its unique cultural texture, yet providing a sense of balance and connection. . The artwork juxtaposes press articles cutouts on cultural diversity in Singapore, with a scene of people painted over it. Zoya uses relevant news paper articles as one of her mediums to construct the imagery. She has explored many parts of the city, first by reading about them, and then exploring those places physically. @artgeminiprize @artgeminiprize2019 #artgeminiprize #artgeminiprize2019 #singaporeartist #singaporeart #sgart #contemporaryartist #zoyachaudhary
