The Obvious
Type
Painting, Oil on linen, 141x121cm , 2013
Artist
Devaki (b.1972), Singapore
Location
The Interlace, Singapore
This is one of two paintings by Devaki acquired for The Interlace. The Obvious features flowers and bamboo, popular subjects in traditional Chinese painting, in a different medium: oil on linen instead of ink on paper. The painting also offers a fresh interpretation in that the large expanse of red gives it a somewhat abstract feel. Despite these, the work is still evocative of a Chinese painting, perhaps because of liu bai or the “leaving of white space”.
