This is an brilliant work example of ex-student of mine, Gino. The Sec 2 students had to make prep-work according to the chosen question.

Myself in the disguise of Giuseppe Arcimboldo (Drawing: VAP)

I made reference to Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s fruit and vegetables portrait series. I am fascinated by his imagery of people. I began to make a series of self portrait by using various fruits and vegetables to form my own portrait. I can identify my own personalities in some of fruits and vegetables such as chili reminds me of my hot temper. With my face covered with these fruits and vegetables, I can feel a sense of security and empowerment, maybe because I have a small and thin physique.

The Amalgamate Anthem (Sculpture: AEP)
This was an artist-run workshop with Singaporean sculptor, Zainudin Samsuri.
This was an artist-run workshop with Singaporean sculptor, Zainudin Samsuri.
In early 2002, 15 Sec 3 (Year 10) students were selected to participate in the Sculpture enrichment workshop. After being exposed to the surrealist imagery, the pupils were taught how to investigate their sub-conscious mind and breathe their newly explored imagery into interesting drawings. The pupils were taught the techniques of aerated concrete carving. The carved images reflected much of the pupils’ diverse personalities. Interesting images ranged from the Ketupat to just plain playful cats.
The installation ‘The Amalgamate Anthem’ birthed as the result of these pupils’ hard work and pure sincerity. It is also a celebrated fusion of different nationalities, races and talents in this increasingly globalised world.
‘The Amalgamate Anthem’ addresses the realisation of emerging raw artistic talents across neighbourhood schools. Up close, you can sense the tremendous appetite of these pupils who have never been to the art museum or experienced real contemporary art in any manner, attacked these concrete blocks with vigour and passion. Their lives can never be the same, their senses have come alive.
Much of their work explore and extend on the theme of humanity and with the different diversities, they form a metaphoric mindscape that can be reviewed as a story, a mystery, a riddle, a vision, an understanding, a nightmare, a reflection, a form of violence, subversion, philosophy, memory and even theatre. ‘The Amalgamate Anthem’ shapes itself as an awakening vibration to those who are still asleep.
