Still Life 'Organica' April 19, 2013

Art Forum, one of the most established art galleries in Singapore, presents STILL LIFE ‘ORGANICA’ an ongoing body of photographic work by multi-faceted Singapore artist Bary Cha Cha, which in his own words “depicts photographic moments created in collaboration with nature, as opposed to just being captured, and presented with organic wit and an alchemic twist.”
Central to the theme of STILL LIFE ‘ORGANICA’ are surreal visualisations that have been conjured up to engage the viewer into a discourse on the authenticity of image. Here, in a visual antithesis of yin and yang, simple aspects of nature have been veiled beautifully with synthetic elements and purposefully appropriated and incorporated into the frame of what is essentially an organic base of work.
Curiously ethereal and fantasy-like, all the subjects have been shot under available natural light on film in a further artistic collaboration with nature.
The exhibition features seven photographic works that are also complemented by still life installations specially set up to amplify the layered dimensions of the art on the walls.
