Nature, Everyday Life, and Glimpses of the Past, a dynamic group exhibition spotlighting the evolving artistic narratives of Minangkabau artists. Running from 10 April to 4 May 2025 at Gajah Gallery Singapore, the exhibition is accompanied by an insightful essay by Eka Novrian and offers fresh perspectives on the intersection of nature, culture, and history within West Sumatran art.
For generations, discussions surrounding Minang artists have largely centred on two dominant themes: the influence of Mooi Indie painting, introduced by Wakidi, and the deep-rooted presence of Minangkabau indigenous philosophy in their artistic expressions. While these narratives hold historical significance, this exhibition challenges such singular interpretations by revealing the broader, more intricate influences shaping contemporary Minang artists today.
