Helen Britton, The Artist Jeweller

From a young age, Helen Britton used art as a form of communication and was soon making jewellery. She still has a cow horn bracelet she made when she was 12 and some earrings made from old beads and fuse wire. As an artist-jeweller, Britton approaches her practice without distinguishing between forms of creative production: “Some bodies of work contain jewellery, sculpture and drawings; some only one or another — it depends on what I am trying to say.” Britton is one of the world’s most established artist-jewellers and is known for creating colourful pieces that are just as likely to include recycled plastics as precious stones. “Preciousness is a construct and culturally driven. All materials are interesting and carry their stories with them,” she says. “I choose the materials because of what they have to say and for no other reason.” Over the years, she has set blackened silver rings with diamonds and sapphires, or combined silver and pearls with plastic or glass. Her creations are ...

Anish Kapoor talks about the Power of Concave Mirrors

The British architect Sir John Soane (1753‑1837) used strategically placed mirrors to enhance visual perspectives, and so it seems befitting that Anish Kapoor’s hypnotic mirror were chosen as the first artworks to be exhibited in the new art space of Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery, which has just reopened after 3 years of extensive restoration. The Turner Prize-winning artist often plays with optical illusions that create the impression of infinite depth and his work is the perfect dialogue to Soane’s use of mirrors and domed ceilings. Pitzhanger Manor was designed by Soane and built between 1800 and 1804 in then London’s rural countryside. Today its grounds, Walpole Park, provide an oasis of calm in the busy west London borough of Ealing. The adjoining gallery, where Kapoor’s work is now being shown, was built in the 1930s, on the site of the old house’s kitchen black, it includes architectural elements such as three skylights that uses the same amber glass Soane uses in th...

Shin Sung Hy': Weaving Paint into Space

Throughout his career, Korean artist Shin Sung Hy (1948–2009) questioned painting's fundamental nature—canvas, support, and paint—through material experimentation that transformed flat surfaces into sculptural objects. A Solution to Continuity (Solution de Continuite), 1994, Acrylic and oil on canvas Running September 4 to October 18, 2025, at Gallery Hyundai New York Project Space, the solo exhibition "Body of Work" will showcase how i the late Korean artist's revolutionary approach to painting blurred boundaries between two and three dimensions. Shin's practice evolved through four distinct periods: the “monochrome hyper-realistic painting” series, jute paintings (1974–1982), “collaged paperwork” series, collage (1983–1992), “sewn-canvas” series, couturage (1993–1997), and “knotted-canvas” series, nouage(1997–2009). The exhibition focuses on his last two series . In his couturage works, he painted canvases, cut them into strips, then stitched them back togeth...

The Ultimate Art Depot: Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen

Space constraints may not come to mind when walking through Le Louvre in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum in New York or the National Gallery in Singapore, yet most museums around the world share a common problem: their collections are far too big to be fully displayed within their walls. As a result the majority of most museum’s artworks languish far from the public eyes, often only accessible to art professional, historians and researchers. The Louvre in Paris displays about 9% of the 380,000 works of arts in its collection, while the V&A Collection in London shows about 24% of its “display” collection thanks to two locations (the V&A Galleries and the Museum of Childhood). In Singapore, the National Gallery shows about 10% of its collection of over 8,000 works in its long term exhibitions presented in the DBS Singapore Gallery and UOB Southeast Asia Gallery while some additional artworks may also be displayed in special or travelling exhibitions. While some ...
