Verdure Elysium by Agatha HUTTON
“As a child, I remember the times when I used to explore the open fields and marshland with friends, appreciating the beauty and freedom that it offers. The amusement we shared in trying to catch dragonflies hovering over mudpools and tadpoles swimming in them. Alas, such experiences will soon cease to exist in the near future.”
- Agatha Hutton
We are all awed by the beauty of nature. Alas, with so many activities happening within a day, city dwellers spend little time to appreciate nature’s innate beauty. Artist Agatha Hutton questions the fundamental relationship city dwellers have for their nature at the SG Private Banking Gallery, Alliance Française de Singapour.
Verdure Elysium provides a pictorial voice for our natural environment, particularly in Singapore, where nature has to give way for industrial and economic developments. Shopping malls, high-rise buildings, and multi-level car parks will increase and very soon, our natural environment and protector will dwindle and vanish.
This exhibition displays a series of Hutton’s new series of ‘Nature Paintings’ on oil in canvas and some of her earlier abstract pieces. Hutton deals with the subject matter of nature in all her works, and is an active artist in both Singapore and Japan.
