EVENT PRESS: "Element Art Space is pleased to present “Future, Present and Past,” the first Singapore solo exhibition by Arkiv Vilmansa.
In his third solo exhibition in Singapore, Vilmansa will debut his newest technique of multi-layering paints on acrylic plastic sheets. The works will introduce new characters and continue to explore his unique style of combining the surreal and theatrical with playful and whimsical caricature.
As the title suggests, the exhibition is centralised on the theme of mortality and life as framed with time. An artwork is a product of its era. Time and place position the work, spark its initial idea, nurture its many transformations until that idea solidifies and turns into a form. This spatio-temporal frame implies that the work is a historical being—it is a living being, breathing and vibrating, intimately entwined with the pulsations of its era. Through experiencing time and place, we make sense of our every day world, a world full of forgotten images that already existed in the past, made in the present and will be produced in the future."
