For Art's Sake

Spent a splendid hour and a half today at Kallang Leisure Park enjoying the art work at the Singapore Youth Festival 2009 Art and Crafts Exhibition, Youth Signatures. Basically the missus and I went because Fafa's Silver Award painting was on display, featuring a fabulously happy-looking smiling whale, but we enjoyed everything we saw as evinced by our frequent chuckles of sheer delight.

One piece, I think entitled Beauty Within, by kids from Paya Lebar Methodist Girls was so good it really deserves to go to the Tate Modern (my favourite gallery.) In fact the whole exhibition was so funky I'm thinking of writing and suggesting they give it a room there. It'd certainly cheer up those glum Londoners.

And who said Singaporeans couldn't do art?!
