ShanghART Singapore

ShanghART Singapore is the official Singapore space for ShanghART Gallery. ShanghART Gallery was established in Shanghai in 1996.

It has since grown to become one of China’s most influential art institutions and a vital player in the development of contemporary art in China, representing over 60 pioneering and emerging artists, including DING Yi, LI Shan, Arin RUNGJANG, Melati SURYODARMO, Apichatpong WEERASETHAKUL, XU ZHEN®, YANG Fudong, ZENG Fanzhi, and ZHAO Renhui Robert. ShanghART Singapore was established in 2012 as the

gallery’s Southeast Asia wing, located in the contemporary art cluster Gillman Barracks. The gallery’s first overseas space serves as a platform to introduce Chinese contemporary art to the region while developing collaborations with Southeast Asian artists and bringing them to the international art scene.

“Alien 2 – Sleeping Hermaphroditos, Western Han Dynasty Female Musician Playing a Zither” by Xu Zhen is now on view at ShanghART Singapore Annexe.

Drawing from both the Hermaphroditos of Greek mythology and a female figure from the Western Han Dynasty, the work brings together Eastern and Western visual traditions in a hybrid form, creating a juxtaposition akin to that of “Eternity–Buddha in Nirvana”. Through this unexpected encounter, Xu Zhen explores the intricacies, curiosity, and desire that emerge as different civilizations draw closer to one another.

"Simplified" by Tang Maohong opened last Sat and continues to be on view at ShanghART Singapore.

The act of painting typically results in two outcomes - the image on the canvas and the mixed colours on the palette. This body of work stems from the approach of mixing colours directly on the painting surface instead of using a palette. This simple gesture collapses two planes into one, creating a mutually-influencing relationship within the same pictorial space.

Twenty years since Tang first exhibited in Singapore as part of the inaugural Singapore Biennale in 2006 with his animation work "Sunday", the artist returns with a solo exhibition "Simplified", presenting his latest body of works.

Across two decades, Tang sought to refine and distill his approach in the pursuit of the same fundamental questions in our relationship with images.

Join us for the opening reception of the exhibition in the artist's presence later today at 4pm.

ShanghART Singapore is delighted to present Simplified, a solo exhibition by the Chinese artist Tang Maohong, opening on next Sat, 16 May 2026 at 4pm. This exhibition brings together a selection of the artist’s latest paintings, developed extensively over the past year following his relocation to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It also marks his return to Singapore after his 2019 solo exhibition, and twenty years since his participation in the first Singapore Biennale.

Tang’s new body of work reflects a significant development in his practice, centered around explorations into the process of painting, and its relationship with the result. The act of painting typically results in two outcomes - the image on the canvas and the mixed colours on the palette. The works stem from the approach of mixing colours directly on the painting surface instead of using a palette. This simple gesture collapses two planes into one, creating a mutually-influencing relationship within the same pictorial space.

“Fortune-Head of a Princess” by Xu Zhen is on view at ShanghART Singapore as part of the group exhibition “Everyday We Create Histories”—on its final day.

This painting brings together a female head from the Amarna Period of ancient Egypt and a vividly coloured jade bracelet from early Eastern cultures. Once symbols of belief, status, and virtue, these elements are reconfigured through painting—the bracelet transformed into a crown—creating a striking encounter between distant histories and cultural meanings.

Stay tuned for Xu Zhen’s presentation at ShanghART Annexe this May, opening in parallel with our next exhibition at the main space. We will see you very soon!

“Stone Telling” series by Boedi Widjaja is now on view at ShanghART Singapore as part of the group exhibition “Everyday We Create Histories”, with only 1 day to go before closing.

The Stone Telling series looks at geological material transposed as marks - the artist’s proto-writing of land, water and time. Since his first encounter with the red stones of the historic Fort Canning Hill, Singapore, Widjaja has continued to incorporate geological material from international sites in his practice. However, the material stone is absent from the process of creating this series. Instead, through frottage, the artist migrates graphite from transfer sheets onto paper, and simultaneously makes a positive image and its negative. The rubbing, pressing movement invariably records traces of the physical process as the artist’s fingerprints are imprinted on the work.

Visit the exhibition now to experience the material traces in person.
