Curated by Zarina Muhammad, this exhibition showcases fine art prints by local artists ANTZ, Chris Chai and Lewis Choo, urban street artists who boldly interpret Chinese folklore, literature, and iconography. Their imaginative reinterpretations invite fresh perspectives on cultural narratives passed down through generations, exploring stories from the Legend of Nezha to Journey to the West.
As each artist draws on the rich tradition of epic storytelling, they pose the question: What wisdom do these stories hold for us in the modern age?
The prints are derived from murals originally created for Off the Wall, an innovative, sustainable exhibition series by Art Outreach. Off the Wall serves as a platform for artists to execute large-scale works, which are then preserved as made-to-order, fine art prints for public sale. This initiative provides audiences with the unique opportunity to own site-specific art, supporting both the artists and Art Outreach’s non-profit programmes.

Modern Wisdoms is on show at OCBC Wisma Atria from 9 January to 30 April 2024.
