Ulli Frings

Heartland

Singapore-based artist Ulli Frings presents her multi-cultural work based on her perception of Singapore and memories of her homeland, Germany. While Frings’ deals with a variety of media such as oil colour, spray paint and varnish, she’s best regarded for her use of both Asian and Western fabrics in her work. Frings enjoys combining fabric, which she uses as a substitute for canvas, with her two and three-dimensional work. She says: “My art work touches on questions of searching, belonging, identity, hope and longing…I am also interested in how memories, experiences, hopes and dreams influence our future search for self.” Heartland runs between September 20 and 29 at the Art Gallery, Tanjong Pagar Community Club (Tel: 6221 9898).
