Welcome to Utterly Art
Exhibition
Luxuries for the Orient
Exhibiting Artists: Andre Tan
Venue: ION Art Gallery > venue details
Dates: 28 Apr 2012 - 09 May 2012
Andre Tan’s 5th solo show continues with his anachronistic and unlikely juxtapositions of historical Chinese figures with coveted items of Western luxury. Drawing this time on iconic imagery beloved of China’s political pop movement, the series draws attention not only to the dissolution of communism into commercialism, but also to the absurdities of conspicuous consumption.
