[ 27.11 / 2016 ]
SPRMRKT
This year, we welcomed 2 new members to the SPRMRKT family: SPRMRKT Daily and SPRMRKT Kitchen & Bar at our new venue in Robertson Quay, within STPI—Creative Workshop & Gallery. As we settled in, we knew it would bring much joy to be able to dine in the presence of art, and enjoy the supermarket experience, redefined, in our new space as well.
As we debut our one-piece art exhibitions at SPRMRKT Daily, we are honoured to have up and coming Singaporean artist Lakshmi Mohanbabu‘s acrylic masterpiece, Iron Rust II, adorn our walls.
Iron Rust II is part of the Strata Morphosis series of 6 paintings based on the idea of change and layers that are gathered through the cycle of life.
Growing up, were you always interested in art?
I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, all through my childhood I did portraits/caricatures of my friends and people around me.
What were some of your earliest influences which inspired you to become an artist?
Both my parents were creatively inclined.
My training as an architect and a fashion designer put me on the path to doing what I really enjoyed doing i.e. drawing painting and creating works of art.
You are such a multi-faceted artist and dabble in so many mediums, genres and styles, do you have a favourite?
In terms of mediums it would be graphite pencils, genres would be Figurative and style would be Impressionism.
