Three artists with distinct styles but the same passion come together to present their latest works. As cliche as it sounds, art is universal and truly crosses all borders, colour and cultural barriers.
Laudi Alibama( Beirut) is a pop artist that specialize in silk-screen technique and is greatly influenced by Andy Warhol & Orientalism and Arabism. Her new works will explore the continent of Asia through portraits of some of the most prominent political and cultural figures that have really shaped the region over the past century. These paintings will include portraits of the likes of Lee Kwan Yew (Singapore) and Zhou Enlai (China). Exploring these subjects through the use of pure pigments only echoes the sheer presence and incredible influence they have had on shaping the region and the rest of the world. www.laudiinc.com
Paul Campbell (NYC) is fascinated with exploring alternative means of mark making, including creating drawings, prints, and paintings using children’s toys, string, balls, and remote control cars, etc. This unusual method of working produces works that simultaneously pay homage to and offer a parody of Abstract Expressionist art of the past. www.paulcampbellstudio.com
Yeo Shih Yun(Singapore) is known for her strong energetic use of black ink and a passionate obsession with capturing the elusive moment that exists between chaos and order. In her latest series, she is using traditional Chinese scrolls with a new twist, painting with her usual bold and spontaneous style. www.shihyunyeo.com

Constructing the City
A multimedia exhibition by Mexican artist Natalia Ludmila
21- 24 April 2012@INSTINC SOHO
What happens if you bring an artist to a foreign city for a three month period? This is the idea driving Natalia Ludmila's first solo exhibition of drawings and digital projections in Singapore. Through her work Ludmila creates a narrative and guiding thread for the vast sensory experience that is living in this city. Her desire is for the metropolis to inform her work as much as possible, so as to attempt at describing it, its people and their customs. Natalia Ludmila acknowledges that this description of the city will always be done through the eyes of an outsider, yet she believes that this will imprint the work with a unique edge. Hence the title of the exhibition -Constructing the City- because the body of work that comprises this exhibition is a subjective construction of this fair city-state. This exhibition will feature 10 watercolor works on paper and an in-situ digital projection This project is funded by FONCA (National Fund for Culture & Arts)-
CONACYT (National Science and Technology Council) Mexico.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Natalia Ludmila was born in Mexico City and raised in Canada. She holds a BFA in which she specialised in painting by the National School of Art (Mexico) and a Masters in Digital Design by the University of Canberra (Australia).

She was the Second Prize recipient in the XVIII Ibiza Biennale -Ibizagrafic'- with the project dfm e.p. Curated by Nilo Casares (Spain). The art critic Lelia Driben has written about her work. Natalia Ludmila has had work exhibited and commissioned by the Anahucalli Museum (Mexico City). She currently lives and works in Australia.

This exhibition shows Survival of the Fittest as thousands of circular dots are painstakingly hand-drawn on paper with colour pencils, only to be mercilessly ripped and destroyed so that other dots can have the limelight. It's through this process that Amy Lin explores social interactions and natural selection - the concept that based on the environment, different characteristics will give a person better or worse chances at survival. In each piece, Amy Lin illustrates social situations by using different criteria for determining which dots "survive" and different ways of banishing the other dots from the forefront of society.
Amy Lin is the current artist-in-residence at INSTINC, she will be in Singapore for two months to create the works for Survival 2.0.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Lin, a self taught American artist, has had numerous solo shows in the United States including one curated by Smithsonian curator Dr. Anne Collins Goodyear. Lin has been published in New American Paintings, reviewed in the Washington Post and American Contemporary Art magazine, and chosen for art critic Lenny Campello's "100 Artists of Washington, D.C." book. Lin is represented by Addison/Ripley Fine Art in Washington, D.C.
