As a herald of the visual arts, iPRECIATION is committed to put forth platforms and propel significant and promising artists to the forefront through successful staging of large-scale exhibitions.

 

Since its inception, iPRECIATION has given prominence to contemporary Asian art through the installation of quality artworks in public and commercial spaces not only in Singapore but also globally. iPRECIATION, with its proficiency in Chinese, South East Asian and Singapore art, has complemented its gallery business with professional art consultancy services to both individuals and corporations.

The Living World Series by Ju Ming has become a permanent feature at two new modern office buildings, CapitaGreen building at 138 Market Street and The Metropolis business center at 9 North Buona Vista Drive. At CapitaGreen, a series of ten painted bronze sculptures depicts the everyday man in their daily urban lives. At The Metropolis, the corporate environment is livened up with a cluster of twelve Gentlemen bronze sculptures. The Living World Series portrays a spectrum of social phenomenon departing from his iconic Taichi Series since the 1980s. In 2017, Lining Up, a set of ten life-sized sculptures from the Living World Series by Ju Ming has been permanently installed at the main entrance of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre portraying the lively spirit of people waiting eagerly to enter the centre.

 

In 2015, Ju Ming’s Taichi Series enjoyed a four-month long outdoor exhibition at the Singapore Botanic Gardens; and his Living World Series completed a traveling exhibition to four major Chinese cities of Chengdu, Chongqing, Dalian and Shanghai. In 2016, iPRECIATION presented the inaugural outdoor exhibition Envision: Sculptures @ the Garden City 2016, featuring fourteen sets of monumental sculptures by eleven Asian artists from China, Indonesia, Singapore and Taiwan, namely Baet Yeok Kuan, Chen Sai Hua Kuan, Gu Wenda, Ju Ming, Kumari Nahappan, Lim Soo Ngee, Shen Lieyi, Sri Astari Rasjid, Yuyu Yang, Zhan Wang and Zhang Huan. The exhibition was held in the heart of Singapore’s historical and cultural centre in the Civic District, Fullerton Hotel and Marina Bay precinct.

 

Ms Helina Chan, the Managing Director of iPRECIATION, is the recipient of the coveted New Tourism Entrepreneur Award 2005 by Singapore Tourism Board, which recognizes the entrepreneur whose company has made major contributions to Singapore’s tourism industry. iPRECIATION aims to build an artistic foundation through its presentation of a diversity of small to large-scale exhibitions that meets the visual inclinations of its patrons; forming and nurturing a creative focal point in Asia, where individuals can convene and express their artistic sensibilities through art.

 

關於誰先覺

誰先覺成立於1999年，是一家展示現代和當代亞洲藝術的美術公司。誰先覺作為藝術的先驅，致力於舉辦大型展覽把其代理的藝術家推向各種平台。

 

自成立以來，誰先覺對當代亞洲藝術給予了更為突出的重視。誰先覺精通當代中國、東南亞和新加坡藝術。通過在新加坡和本地區的公共和商業空間安裝高質量的藝術作品，也為個人和企業實體提供專業諮詢和服務。誰先覺還參與了全球各種公共藝術項目。

 

誰先覺目前代表的著名藝術家包括：諾貝爾文學獎得主高行健、台灣雕塑大師朱銘、香港新水墨藝術家周綠雲、新加坡當代水墨先鋒莊聲濤、新加坡當代藝術先驅唐大霧、抽象畫家与文化獎章得主Milenko Prvacki以及開創性的新加坡表演藝術家李文。多年來，誰先覺也一直在推動有創意的藝術家，如中國精細畫家張健君和金捷、大膽評論香港時事和流行文化的香港當代藝術家謝炎安和新加坡資深藝術家胡財和、麥毓權和與鄭木彰。

 

台灣雕塑大師朱銘的《人間系列》已成為位於新加坡138號馬吉街的CapitaGreen與9號波那維斯達大道的The Metropolis兩棟現代化辦公大樓永久性的特徵。在CapitaGreen所展示的一系列十個彩繪青銅雕塑描繪著在日常生活中各行各業的人物。而The Metropolis周圍所展示的一組十二個紳士青銅雕塑為企業環境增添活力。《人間系列》脫離了朱銘自上世紀八十年代以來標志性的《太極系列》，描繪了一系列的社會現象。在2017年，朱銘《人間系列》的一套十件真人大小的雕塑“排隊”被永久安裝於香港文化中心的正門，描述著人們熱切等待進入中心的活力精神。

 

在2015年，誰先覺舉辦了朱銘《太極系列》在新加坡植物園進行了為期四個月的戶外展覽；同年他的《人間系列》也在中國四大城市成都、重慶、大連和上海巡迴展出。在2016年，誰先覺舉辦了首屆戶外展Envision: Sculptures @ the Garden City 2016，展出來自中國、印度尼西亞、新加坡和台灣十一位藝術家的十四座巨型雕塑。參與藝術家包括麥毓權、陳賽華灌、谷文達、朱銘、Kumari Nahappan、林序毅、沈烈毅、Sri Astari Rasjid、楊英風、展望和張洹。這個展覽在新加坡的歷史文化市政區中心、富麗敦酒店和濱海灣區舉行。

 

誰先覺總監陳薈妃女士曾在2005年獲頒新加坡旅遊局新旅遊業企業家獎。該獎項旨在表彰那些為新加坡旅遊業做出重大貢獻的企業家。本畫廊希望通過展示符合顧客視覺傾向的多元化小型與大型展覽來建立藝術基礎，在亞洲形成和培育創意焦點，讓每一個人可以通過藝術來表達自己的藝術感受。
