With the number of Covid-19 community cases stabilizing in Singapore, malls and eateries have started to reopen slowly with safe distancing measures in place. If you’re still wary about visiting crowded places, add these art exhibitions to your list of places to visit instead – you won’t be swarmed by seas of people, and can immerse yourself in the peace and tranquility of art.

If you’re a fan of Hong Kong-based artist Chris Huen, you’ll be thrilled to know that he is holding his first solo exhibition, ‘Flowers Wilting in a New Day’ in Singapore at Ota Fine Arts. The collection features his 7 latest works which are all spontaneously drawn from memory – which is super impressive! We also love how he incorporates themes from his surrounding environment into his artwork, which are portrayed though his signature brush strokes.

Future World will definitely offer you an immersive, out-of-this-world experience that is best shared with family and friends!
