Melting Boulevard is Los Angeles-based painter Alex McAdoo’s first solo exhibition in Asia, from 15 June – 13 July 2024, at WOAW Gallery Singapore.
Notably, Melting Boulevard marks developments in McAdoo’s visual language as he incorporates ideas from crucial Eastern thinkers into his landscape paintings of the American suburbs. This culminates in McAdoo’s inclusion of the number zero in his paintings, with mathematician Brahmagupta having written the rules for its use in the 7th Century.
Ultimately, this body of work serves as a testament to not only McAdoo’s lived experiences as a half-Indian, half-white, brown American working in the legacy of European oil painting, but also the numerous ways that non-European thinkers and their ideas changed the course of civilisation.
Venue: WOAW Gallery, 4 Ann Siang Hill, Singapore 069786
