Family, art, and entrepreneurship converge in the story of three visionary Peranakan women from Indonesia – Nyonya Oeij Soen King, her daughter-in-law Nyonya Oeij Kok Sing, and her granddaughter Jane Hendromartono. From the 1890s to 1980s, they produced impressive batiks in the renowned batik centre of Pekalongan on Java’s north coast. This exhibition explores the lives and works of these women, revealing how each became a batik master in her own right, and how they responded to the rapid political, cultural, and economic changes of their times to run a business that produced great art.

Fistful of Colours: Moments of Chinese Cosmopolitanism brings together artworks from the late Qing Dynasty to the present moment to explore the social history of art, with a particular emphasis on the situatedness of Chinese ink works amidst its political milieus. With reference to the concept of Chinese cosmopolitanism as proposed by scholar Pheng Cheah, the exhibition connects the artistic and scholarly advocation embodied by the artists presented, telling a story of the social life between artists and society through both modern and contemporary experiences of the overseas Chinese intellectual and mercantile communities, their pursuits of Chinese modernity, and their collective cultural commitments at the dawn of globalisation.

Singapore's first Studio Ghibli exhibition opens in October, where visitors can meet popular characters from 11 Studio Ghibli films and wander through the fantastical scenes of My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke.

Many of the studio's works have set box office records, won the praise of audiences around the world, and won numerous awards and recognition, leaving their names in the history of film industry. Among them, seven films have been nominated for Academy Awards, including The Heron and the Boy, which won the 96th Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film in 2024.

Kim Lim: The Space Between. A Retrospective repositions Singapore-born British artist Kim Lim as a pivotal figure in 20th-century sculpture and printmaking. As part of the first generation of diaspora and immigrant artists who moved to Britain after the Second World War seeking an art education, Lim has often been overlooked. This exhibition at the National Gallery Singapore is an attempt to demonstrate her unique contributions and highlight how she drew upon aesthetic values from material cultures across Asia and Europe to develop her own artistic language. Lim both referenced and resisted the burgeoning Euro-American discourse on Minimalism and abstraction, as well as the narrow cultural labels used to interpret her life and work. Featuring plates of more than 70 selected works, a curatorial introduction and three illustrated essays, this catalogue provides a fresh overview of Lim’s sculptural philosophy and offers new scholarly insights into her intellectual growth, artistic practice and creative relationships.

Ota Fine Arts Singapore is pleased to present "Every Day I Pray for Love," an exhibition of new and recent works by Yayoi Kusama. The travelling exhibition, Kusama's first at Ota Fine Arts in three years, began from Tokyo (March 2024) to Shanghai (May 2024) and makes its final stop in Singapore (September 2024). It will feature over 50 paintings from the series “Every Day I Pray for Love” and several drawings, which Kusama has been actively working on since 2021, as well as her recent wall relief sculptures,SOULS OF WOMEN THAT CONTINUE FOREVER(2019), which are a new addition to the Singapore presentation. Yayoi Kusama's 70-year career has been marked by numerous masterpieces. In particular, Kusama's repetitive use of nets and polka dots to fill the canvases and spaces has cemented her title as the 'Queen of Polka Dots'. At the turn of the century, however, she transcended this reputation and developed two series of paintings,Love Forever(2004-2007) andMy Eternal Soul(2009-2021), in which she painted figurative subjects such as eyes, profiles, and plants. While all kinds of colours jumble across the canvases, conflicting concepts and forms of ‘life and death,’ ‘micro and macro,’ ‘war and peace,’ and ‘figurative and abstract,’ coalesce into a cohesive whole.
