Artworks of Netherland (David van Aspen)






Recently stumbled upon a series of cool artworks by a mysterious artist named "Netherland" and fell in love with his retro-cool super-weird stuff. David van Aspen is the owner of DVA gallery and had created a series of resin pieces that reminded me of those pictures you would have seen in the 70's. I went crazy buying up his stuff but apparently there are other fans as well since some of the pieces I inquired about via emails with him or the galleries can be sold in between correspondence!
I will be keeping an eye on Netherland's new works.

"Red Indulgence" by Kit Tan


Visited an art gallery in Singapore a few weeks ago and I was so tempted to sell my car just to get the above painting by the local artist Kit Tan. I have been a big fan of Kit Tan ever since I spied her paintings that were displayed in Singapore Art Museum for the UOB Award show.
Unfortunately my wife threatened divorce if she finds out I exchange the family car for a super cool painting. My explanation that the painting is a appreciating asset as compared to the car being a depreciating liability does not fly with her. Yes dear, the painting is not going to bring you from point A to point B.
Sigh...
