The Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, University of the Arts Singapore is proud to present Anagard: From nasi padang to the world, the first solo exhibition in Singapore by the emerging Yogyakarta-based stencil artist.

Held at The Ngee Ann Kongsi Galleries 1 & 2 from 20 Sep (Fri) to 27 Oct (Sun) 2024, the exhibition will feature 80 recent works by Anagard and his esteemed collaborators from Singapore and Indonesia.

Known for his distinctive iconography as a visual language that is deeply symbolic, Anagard’s works invite viewers to engage with thought-provoking narratives to interpret and find meaning from his stories, from drawings to large-scale installations, presented for the first time in Singapore.

This collaborative project also unites Anagard with Cathrine Oslo, NAFA alumna (Diploma in Fine Arts, Printmaking) and founder of COFA Studio; and 556 Industries, a Singaporean costume-making and prop-building collective.

The artists and makers inject their distinct speciality and crafting techniques together, offering new avenues of artistic expression and dialogue in the world of visual art and design, using art as a tool to promote peace and foster understanding between cross-communities.

In conjunction with the exhibition, NAFA is proud to host the 11th edition of its Southeast Asian Art Clinic on Wed 9 October, 2pm, featuring both artist and collaborator, Anagard and Cathrine, who will share their insights working together, engaging in dialogue with the community.
