On 20 September 2018, the President of Ikebana International Singapore chapter 135 Ms Angela Kek led a special tour of the exhibition ‘IKEBANA in Retrospect: Dialogue with Singapore Artists ~ An Ikebana exhibition by Ikebana International Singapore Chapter 135 ~’. The arrangements in this exhibition were inspired by art pieces from the National Gallery Singapore's collection ‘Siapa Nama Kamu? Art in Singapore since the 19th Century’.
|
Ms Kek gave participants an introduction to the history and background of the artworks in the collection, and how each Ikebana practitioner sought to interpret the piece in their own arrangements. The participants were very curious about the floral arrangements and asked many questions about the history and tradition of Ikebana and how it relates to the art pieces that were chosen.
