Zhang Xiaogang in Singapore
Singapore has style. It has an unusually well tuned sense of what’s hot and interesting in the realms of art, fashion, and design, and seems to be just a bit ahead of the rest of the world. The rich urban culture here is always moving, and always with a little bit of grace and pizazz. Staying at a Singapore hotel resort, then, is one of the best ways to see this city-state, so that the exquisite sense of style will follow you from your doorstep and back to your pillow at night. Luxury accommodations can make a wonderful place even more elegant, and we offer a new adventure in luxury travel. It’s a joy to see a place as spectacular as Singapore when you are feeling refreshed in body and spirit, and we don’t expect any less.
If you like adventure, you’ll surely love Singapore. There are always fabulous choices for things to do, day and night. There are excellent attractions here that will please travelers of all ages, and the night life is fascinating if your tastes are more for after dark. The gallery scene is formidable, offering a stunning array of contemporary art from all over the world, and it won’t be long before you come to realize that Singapore’s claims to be an international center are absolutely true. At local galleries here like Soobin Art International you can see a stunning variety of work, with artists working in many different mediums, aligned with different schools of art, from all over the world.
Here you can see some of the magnificent work by Beijing-based artist Zhang Xiaogang. Born in 1958, he is a product of the Cultural Revolution, he admits, and his compelling works comment on this. They are surreal cartoon portraits of middle class families, and there is an incredible delicate balance here that suggests an enormous turbulence just beneath the surface of these faces, that is unable to escape. It makes for a visceral emotional tension that is also strangely magnetic, and his acclaimed work has an enormous impact when you can see it up close.
