Conversations with tress is about the art of getting in touch with nature, meant for everyone and anyone who has a feel for the gentleness of a falling leaf. Put together with the natural sway of chinese brushes, these artworks will inspire one to get back in touch with nature. These landscape paintings have been artistically designed and transformed to represent art works created with traditional chinese brushes and paints.

Kurosawa redefines abstract art with black and white washes. In an innovative strike of creativity, paint was poured onto aluminum sheets and made to drip at varying speeds. Inspired by a famed Japanese film director, this collection of artworks mirror the use of colours and the play of light and dark in his films.
Catch the exhibition today, at Singapore Art Museum. Lyrical Abstraction: Works by Jeremy Sharma & Yeo Shih Yun will run from 6 July to 23 September 2012 at SAM and admission is free. There will be an Artist Presentation with Sharma and Yeo held in conjunction with the exhibition.
