Substation (Singapore)

Substation is a small “warehouse” that exhibits local Singaporean artists. The place gives the distinct feeling of leaning towards less mainstream art. That is to say, the floor is bare cement, the ceiling unfinished, and the walls a montage of peeling white paint. On display was a collection of paintings by Ian Woo. His work is interesting and thought provoking, but not entirely my “cup of tea”. Nevertheless, I must admit I adore his “Love you and it hurts me to take you there”. Although, more for the title than for the painting itself.
