Cheong Soo Pieng: 1970s Mature Abstract Works
April 5 @ 12:00 pm - April 21 @ 7:00 pm
FreeHappening from 5 to 21 April 2024, artcommune is pleased to present Cheong Soo Pieng: 1970s Mature Abstract Works, a showcase of over 10 significant abstract and mixed media works by the Singapore pioneer master!
Soo Pieng’s mature abstract output in the 1970s is synonymous with the most accomplished artistic period of his career. However, due to the scarcity of oral and written materials left behind by the artist, the abstract series of this period are amongst his least understood works, and scholars and audience have struggled to contextualise their complex forms and meanings. The 1970s mature abstract works featured in this exhibition range from mixed media metal relief works to abstract ink on paper, throwing the spotlight on Soo Pieng’s exploration of a new artistic discourse and his continuous strive for original expressions during this period.
