Introduction to the exhibition :
"Whenever a person is described as beautiful, the first that strikes the mind would usually be the physical attributes of the person. The very image of an attractive proportionate figure, chiseled features clothed with impeccable styles by high profile fashion designers inspired by the likes of Hollywood & Bollywood stars come to mind. As the saying goes, “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder”, one will observe & analyze how another’s perception or definition of “beautiful people” shown through artworks by a group of artists.
“Beautiful People” is a group art exhibition which gives us an opportunity to discover the many artistic sides if not the literal abstraction of the term “beauty”. A collection of 11 artists from diverse background ranging from raw abstract to vivid realism, art works conjured with different medium, ideas churned from creative imagination to fresh concepts will converge to demonstrate the many versatile skills and their unbiased projection of “beautiful people”. This exhibition looks into the much-thought about theme which enables us to observe the instigation of society’s perception and its collective influence on the conception of beauty. Viewers will not only expect works depicting some notable famed faces / persona, or even figures whom the artists hold dear to their hearts as quintessence of “beauty” but as well as works which asserts the social stigma on ”beauty”, at times expressing cynicism towards the “shallow” proclamation of beauty.
Throughout the show, viewers will be drawn to admire the mind-imprinting works of a skillful figure artist depicting the softness and purity of a beautiful woman. Then gradually transcend to another artwork of a meticulous caricaturist expressions of the infamous international entertainment artists. Whilst another veteran conceptual artist intrigues us with the primate-looking king who looks like an ancient relic, stressing upon this modern-world society that material and gross gains do not make one more beautiful. “Beautiful People” is an attempt to emanate both the biodiversities in beauty and the participating artists."
