Three Rooms

Queenie Kou

“Three Rooms” is a group exhibition by three Singapore-based women artists Queenie Kou, Shyama Nadimpalli and Sandy Liu. Through their individual spaces, each a small room, the artists share their own personal perspectives as their unique stories unfold.

Queenie pays tribute to the monochromatic everyday objects such as the grass, twigs, and wood which are playing second fiddle to the colourful flowers. Through her artist’s lens, she lends a new meaning to the often overlooked beauty that exists in our daily life.
