Vitalità
Anna Chiara Spellini
UOB Plaza, along Singapore River
Vitalità reflects the vital energy of the universe known as
‘qi’. Embodying the
‘qi’ in her visceral line of this sculpture, Anna Chiara
Spellini has endowed the form
of Vitalità with the vigour of being ready to move upward and
forward. Commissioned by
UOB, and part of the UOB Art Collection, Vitalità is a life force
that creates newness,
growth, good fortune and abundance for all.

Homage To Newton
Salvador Dali
UOB Plaza Atrium
In the 17th century, Sir Isaac Newton discovered the law of
gravity. Legend tells us
that the origin of this most important and fundamental physical law was
initiated by the falling
of an apple, represented in the present work by the ball falling from
the right hand.
Salvador Dali
UOB Plaza Atrium
Salvador Dali, one of the most important surrealist artists, takes the liberty to go even further in paying Homage To Newton by opening up the torso of the figure and suspending the heart to indicate “open-heartedness”. The open head represents an “open-mind”. These are two necessary qualities for the discovery of important natural laws as well as for success of all human endeavours.
Bird
Fernando Botero

Bird

The bird is traditionally associated with peace and serenity. This
three-dimensional Bird
by Botero also signifies the joy of living and the power of optimism.
Fernando Botero

Botero’s sculpture allows one the pleasure of caressing reality. There is a sensual complicity that the artist has with his creation which is shared with the public.

RE/EMERGENCE showcase by Erica Wee
End your journey with art
RE/EMERGENCE
A self-taught artist, Erica Wee works mainly with acrylic and oil. Her art captures the realistic nature of her subjects, interjected with an abstract touch - so they are traditional, yet styled with a daring modern slant; realistic, yet juxtaposed with a dramatic edge. The results are bold, uplifting “statement artworks” on huge canvases which are as energetic and vivacious as the artist herself.
RE/EMERGENCE is Erica’s first solo exhibition and of great significance in her journey as an artist. Having lived away from her home of Singapore for the past 15 years and only just returned last year, the exhibition marks her re-emergence on the Singapore art scene. What she has achieved and how her art has matured from living abroad is just the beginning. This exhibition pays homage to her journey since picking up the brush and coming into her own.

Plenir-air with Nature showcase by Wong Hai
Plein-air with nature
An accomplished artist, Wong Hai can expertly capture both cityscape and nature scenes in his artworks. He enjoys painting plein-air, which is the act of painting outdoors in the natural environment, as it fills him with energy. In this exhibition, we step into his delicate observations of the flora and fauna in Singapore, from the heartlands at neighbourhood parks to the wildlife at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserves.

Birds and Blooms
The late Tang Juey Lee is known as the painter of orchids due to the thousands of orchid paintings that he had completed.
