SUMMARY:Days That Slip Away Untouched: A Solo Exhibition by Uji “Hahan” Handoko Eko Saputro Opening Night
DESCRIPTION:Gajah Gallery Singapore presents Days That Slip Away Untouched\, a solo exhibition by Indonesian artist Uji “Hahan” Handoko Eko Saputro. Following its debut in Jakarta\, the exhibition continues Hahan’s investigation into the shifting relationship between physical reality and its digital mediation. \nWorking across painting\, sculpture\, and sound\, Hahan examines how perception and meaning are conditioned within digitally mediated environments. His work probes the terms by which images and experiences are encountered\, tracing how distinctions between the real\, the constructed\, and the circulated are produced\, and how authenticity is negotiated in their wake. \nIn contrast to the immediacy of digital systems\, Hahan’s practice emphasises slowness and material engagement. Developed in close dialogue with the Ace House collective and his studio artisans\, the works emerge through what he describes as an “aesthetic kinship”\, a process rooted in shared labour and collective exchange. Across the exhibition\, Hahan appropriates imagery from works by Raden Saleh\, Tomás Sánchez\, and Walter Spies\, using these references to reflect on how knowledge\, power\, and ways of seeing have shaped historical narratives. In doing so\, the works draw attention to the instability of images in an era governed by algorithmic visibility\, where depth and context risk being flattened.Within these compositions\, moments of disruption appear through hybrid figures and altered landscapes\, introducing a sense of dissonance that unsettles familiar visual frameworks. These gestures operate as subtle “glitches”\, interrupting dominant modes of representation and\nopening up alternative ways of seeing and understanding. \nThe exhibition title\, Days That Slip Away Untouched\, speaks to an awareness of time that often passes without full attention. Across his practice\, Hahan foregrounds attentiveness —to history\, process\, and everyday experience— as a means of resisting this condition. Here\, authenticity is approached as something continually negotiated within the conditions of contemporary life.

SUMMARY:Of Light and Matter
DESCRIPTION:Of Light and Matter explores the relationship between light\, materiality\, and the natural world through a diverse collection of paintings\, mixed-media works\, and sculptural forms. The exhibition brings together artists whose practices are rooted in observation\, transformation\, and reflection\, inviting viewers to reconsider how we perceive and connect with our surroundings.\n\n\n\nNature is never merely a backdrop in these works. Mineral crystals pressed into paper\, mirrors casting full spectrums of colour\, figures reaching toward streaks of light breaking through storm clouds\, and landscapes distilled into rhythmic patterns all reveal the subtle interplay between physical matter and intangible experience. Through their distinct artistic languages\, the participating artists explore themes of renewal\, resilience\, memory and wonder.\n\nThe exhibition brings together nine contemporary artists from Singapore\, China and Japan\, each offering a unique perspective on the relationship between light\, materiality and the natural world. Participating artists include Daiki Nishimura\, Karina D. Simon\, Kim Xu\, Wang Jiang\, Yin Chua\, Zhang Qiao\, Zhang Yihan\, Zhang Ziheng and Zhu Feng.\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition is presented by Y Art Project in collaboration with Art Seasons Gallery. Through this partnership\, the two galleries share a commitment to supporting contemporary artists\, fostering artistic exchange and creating meaningful opportunities for public engagement with the arts.

SUMMARY:Lai Yu Tong: The Dogs
DESCRIPTION:ShanghART Singapore is pleased to present Lai Yu Tong’s first solo exhibition with the gallery\, The Dogs\, opening on 30 August 2025. Featuring a new series of works that centres around his encounters with a pack of stray dogs\, the artist invites us to reconsider our relationship with entities that exist on the fringes of our environments\, while reflecting upon his own experiences and interactions with the dogs across several months. \nDrawing upon observations of the present\, Lai’s practice examines the overlooked and neglected. Everyday objects and subjects such as cars\, crows\, hands\, and chairs feature as motifs across his works that are cast within the stories and scenarios that he creates around them. By looking at something for extended periods of time\, he brings out alternative perspectives on the familiar. Recently\, his gaze fixates upon the stray dogs that he encounters around a forested area close to where he lives. Their existence as wild\, untamed and shy creatures that roam under the shadows of Singapore intrigues him. \nIn a highly developed and controlled society\, the presence of these dogs introduces a degree of unpredictability\, even instilling a sense of danger. Initial encounters with them ended with Lai retreating out of fear. However\, following multiple visits where he would observe\, photograph and sometimes feed the dogs\, the fear that he felt eventually shifts into a kind of love\, as he forms a connection with these misunderstood creatures. \nStorytelling makes up a big part of Lai’s approach\, manifesting in forms such as drawing\, sculpture\, and sound. In these latest works\, Lai seeks to retell his encounters with these enigmatic creatures through intimate pieces of drawings and collages on various modest everyday materials — cardboard\, wood\, and paper. He simultaneously draws and obscures the dogs\, playing with techniques of erasure and transparency that render his subjects as ghostly figures and impressions. Such loose methods of representation alludes to the elusiveness and placelessness of the subjects he draws\, whilst also allowing them to take on other identities and connotations. \nThrough a selection of two-dimensional works\, a sculpture\, a sound piece and a performance\, the gallery space is transformed into a site of encounter between the audience and the dogs. Bridging the distance between us and them through Lai’s own experiences\, the exhibition encourages visitors to empathise and identify with the beings that live on the edges of our environments; out of sight and away from what we are familiar with.

DESCRIPTION:ShanghART Singapore is pleased to present Lai Yu Tong’s first solo exhibition with the gallery\, The Dogs\, opening on 30 August 2025. Featuring a new series of works that centres around his encounters with a pack of stray dogs\, the artist invites us to reconsider our relationship with entities that exist on the fringes of our environments\, while reflecting upon his own experiences and interactions with the dogs across several months. \nDrawing upon observations of the present\, Lai’s practice examines the overlooked and neglected. Everyday objects and subjects such as cars\, crows\, hands\, and chairs feature as motifs across his works that are cast within the stories and scenarios that he creates around them. By looking at something for extended periods of time\, he brings out alternative perspectives on the familiar. Recently\, his gaze fixates upon the stray dogs that he encounters around a forested area close to where he lives. Their existence as wild\, untamed and shy creatures that roam under the shadows of Singapore intrigues him. \nIn a highly developed and controlled society\, the presence of these dogs introduces a degree of unpredictability\, even instilling a sense of danger. Initial encounters with them ended with Lai retreating out of fear. However\, following multiple visits where he would observe\, photograph and sometimes feed the dogs\, the fear that he felt eventually shifts into a kind of love\, as he forms a connection with these misunderstood creatures. \nStorytelling makes up a big part of Lai’s approach\, manifesting in forms such as drawing\, sculpture\, and sound. In these latest works\, Lai seeks to retell his encounters with these enigmatic creatures through intimate pieces of drawings and collages on various modest everyday materials — cardboard\, wood\, and paper. He simultaneously draws and obscures the dogs\, playing with techniques of erasure and transparency that render his subjects as ghostly figures and impressions. Such loose methods of representation alludes to the elusiveness and placelessness of the subjects he draws\, whilst also allowing them to take on other identities and connotations. \nThrough a selection of two-dimensional works\, a sculpture\, a sound piece and a performance\, the gallery space is transformed into a site of encounter between the audience and the dogs. Bridging the distance between us and them through Lai’s own experiences\, the exhibition encourages visitors to empathise and identify with the beings that live on the edges of our environments; out of sight and away from what we are familiar with.
