Queen of Sheba: Singapore Sidewalk
A show by Kavita Issar Batra
30 June–28 August 2016
Wednesday to Sunday 2pm–7pm
Closed on Monday, Tuesday & Public Holidays
Free admission
Queen of Sheba encompasses photographs,
monotypes and an oversized mixed media
painting on canvas, which is an imprint of
the Singapore sidewalk.
This exhibition focuses on artist Kavita’s
creative process of spotting, observing
and collecting natural and urban elements
on a morning walk. Sometimes, she is so
mesmerized by an observation that the moment
is captured through photography. Most of the
time, Kavita composes montages by combining
textures, forms and colours using flowers,
leaves and other botanical treasures.
