A curator of change and a custodian of artistic diversity, Cuturi Gallery is a challenger of vested interests and of the status quo, pushing the boundaries of how galleries operate. The gallery connects broad audiences to high-quality art by diverse talents that speaks to the heart and tells the story of an undiscovered generation of aspiring artists that will have the art world aching for more. Diminishing aristocratic traditions and providing transparency in an art world that is at times daunting, Cuturi Gallery presents an inclusive and democratised art ecosystem which fosters greater collaboration, understanding and appreciation of art amongst artists, collectors and the industry at large. 9 SCOTTS ROAD, #02-16 PACIFIC PLAZA, SINGAPORE 228210 +65 8182 0214 | +65 6917 7024 | SINGAPORE@CUTURIGALLERY.COM CUTURIGALLERY.COM @CUTURIGALLERY Kevin Troyano Cuturi Founder, Cuturi Gallery For any enquiries, please contact singapore@cuturigallery.com Dear Friends and collectors of the gallery, I am delighted to present Cuturi Gallery’s latest exhibition: In Full Bloom. A group exhibition that will feature 13 artworks from 13 contemporary artists and will revolve around the relevance and importance of the flower figure in art history. Most of the artists are debuting with the gallery, and hence it will be an excellent opportunity for you to discover new talents in the contemporary art scene. I am also delighted that three of the thirteen artists are part of our newly launched c/discoveries program, which continues our strong engagement with the Singaporean art community. Throughout the history of art, flowers have been a favourite subject among artists. Depiction of the flora elements can be found in many of the most significant art movements. For instance, white lilies symbolise the purity and holiness of Virgin Mary during the Renaissance period; the Dutch masters took a more delicate approach to chiaroscuro when depicting flower still life while many Impressionists and Post-Impressionists painted flowers that were personally meaningful to them - just like Van Gogh and his sunflowers. ‘There are always flowers for those who want to see them’, says Henri Mattise, the founder of Fauvism whose blossoms are characterized by pure vivid colours and bold distinctive brushstrokes. Pop Artist Andy Warhol created blocks of timeless and iconic daisies in the 1960s, which are still universally celebrated in the art and fashion world today. From the end of the 20th century onward, Jeff Koons’ 43- foot-tall flower puppy still waits patiently at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. The public statue was created, in Koons’ own words, to share “optimism, confidence and security”. We invite you to navigate through our gallery space, and see how these very talented artists have interpreted in their own way, the importance of the flower figure in art.
