Fabrik Contemporary Art is pleased to present its second exhibition at the Gallery by the Harbour featuring works by Daniel dela Cruz, Chiho Aoshima, Aya Takano, Mel Ramos and Marc Quinn.
 
Women have always been an interesting model for art, from stone carvings to canvas paintings. They have been the focus of some of the world's most important masterpieces. While it is essential to acknowledge all the great pieces of artistic expression displaying the female form, some deserve exclusivity for their uniqueness, and some artists merit kudos for their awareness of the importance of women in art. Images and symbols of women in art date back to prehistoric times, when female forms representing fertility were carved in stone or painted on walls. To this day, artists still attempt to capture the essence of women, nude or attired, melancholic or joyous, innocent or seductive, by transposing their perception of the female gender into their art.  
 
These are exemplified by Daniel dela Cruz where his sculptures are about his investigations on women’s everyday interactions, or Mel Ramos’s surreal and ironic depictions of women whose images are meant to be taken with humour and adoration at the same time, and Chiho Aoshima and Aya Takano’s nymph and senewy-like characters  who at times appear vulnerable yet central to the narrative they want to share.
 
 
The exhibition will include a mixture of original sculptures, pigment prints and limited edition lithographs.
