FUTURES, Booth FR08
Anna Valdez
BeChanida
Liang Man Qi
39+ Art Space is excited for our return to the second edition of ART SG showcasing a group presentation featuring 3 intercontinental female contemporary artists: Anna Valdez (b. 1985, USA), BeChanida (b. 1974, Thailand), Liang Manqi (b. 1986, China) at Booth FR08 in the FUTURES section at the second edition of ART SG. The show will comprise of paintings on canvas of gestural abstraction, geometry, and maximalist still life.
The presentation places the female artists in communication with their contemporary methods of abstraction painted through the lens from their inner expressions. Jointly, their work contextualises the broad ranging agency of women. Through moments of the familiar and act of being, the group show centres on their creative freedom: the discovery of it, and the actualisation to claim it.
Anna Valdez (b. 1985, USA) is a multi-disciplinary artist who examines the relationship between objects, cultural formation, and collective consciousness. Her still life pictures carefully composed by her surroundings, are heightened by saturated hues and surprising scale, offering viewers a respite into a joyful inner world.
BeChanida (b. 1974, Thailand) is a expressionist painter who developed through years of hearing what the heart truly desires. Now unbounded, the artist recaptures a playful and curious energy through her quick gestural brushstrokes in harmonizing complimentary hues. An unexplicable sponteniety in each gesture places the abstraction draws a narrative of renew in each layer.
In parallel, Liang Manqi (b. 1986, China) takes the geometrical shape and colour as a method to understand herself and her surroundings, as well as the passage to embrace the psychological uncertainty, contradiction, and conflict. The seemingly logical visual symbols on canvas are balanced through the artist’s abundant sensibility and emotional order.
