Pina Marziliano — Wed, 09 Dec 2015 06:16:09 +0000

A NEW PLATFORM FOR ARTS AND CREATIVE PROFESSIONALS

Arts Drinks is a new monthly networking initiative event to connect arts and creative professionals working in Singapore to wider opportunities for explorations beyond their usual reach locally and internationally. Arts Drinks launches on December 10, 2015 at Ricciotti Italian Restaurant in the central heart of Singapore’s new museum district.

Art Drinks is then slated to be held monthly on every second Tuesday beginning February 2016 from 7:00pm – 9:00pm. Each edition will highlight an artist, designer or creative team to share insights from their practice. The venue Ricciotti provides a meeting place as well as focal point for people to talk, learn, challenge and share experiences that are important to working arts and creative professionals in Asia.

“When we conceived Ricciotti, our ambition was to create a more complete experience, embracing other aspects of Italy’s interesting lifestyle such as modern art, music, design and other cultural experiences.” – Ottavio Gori, Managing Director Ricciotti

GUEST FEATURED ARTIST

Peter Arnoud Bensen is a professional artist and designer specializing in woodwork, furniture and sculptures. Born in the Netherlands, Bensen became a sub seas diving engineer trained by the Dutch Special Forces. His 21 year career in the underwater environment presented experiences of the raw power, danger and beauty of the ocean which taught him to work with nature rather than destroy or fight it. This new perspective is Bensen’s main principle for his art and design practice after retiring from professional diving.

Illusion Exhibition 2015

Yiwei Heng — Fri, 19 Jun 2015 09:35:27 +0000

Exhibition dates: August 16-30, 2015 (daily 11am-8pm)

Location : The Fullerton Hotel, #01-08, 1 Fullerton Square, Singapore 049178

Illusion Exhibition is an inaugural showcase of original sculptures and prints by Dutch artist and designer Peter Arnoud Bensen. Curated by PABensen, the artwork revolves around the themes of perspective and illusion, drawing us towards his pieces with mesmerising tricks of the eye. Using pyramids, cubes and spirals, Bensen demonstrates how these basic shapes morph into different entities by a shift of perspective. Bensen describes this peculiar experience as “shape-shifting”. Sculpture has always had the distinction of being something experienced while moving around the artwork. In Illusion, we constantly engage with our senses of sight and perception while moving towards, across and around the sculptures.

The Opening event Illusion Fiesta took place on Tuesday, August 18th 2015, 6pm with Guest of Honour H.E. Jacques Werner Ambassador to the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Singapore.

Every Saturday and Sunday throughout the Exhibition, the artist hosted the Illusion Walk-Through and shared with the public the inspiration behind each artwork.
