Homemade

[09.04.2020 to 12.07.2020 ]
SPRMRKT at Dempsey Hill

Homemade, a solo showcases by Leow Wei Li presents a new series of paintings made with items found in various supermarkets, baking, grocery, and hardware stores we see in the heartlands, that accompany the daily lives of everyday Singaporeans. Through exploring the materiality of these common household materials used for a variety of care from feeding and preserving to building and repairing homes, Wei Li’s paintings are rendered a celebration of Singaporean life. With each curious mish-mash of items, ingredients and materials, she creates a quiet vibrance that traces the labour of love and methods of care that goes into the making of life as we know it in our Little Red Dot. With her showcase opening at a time when home and country dominates the current narrative, as the nation adheres to circuit breaker measures. SPRMRKT is bringing her viewing online! Walk through the showcase with a Mini Docu-series that offers a curatorial introduction to Wei Li’s newest series of paintings and an exclusive behind the scenes of the making of these artworks as well as a first-hand look at the pieces before you catch them in person after the nationwide Circuit Breaker measures have been lifted. The first episode, “Homemade, A Virtual Viewing” will be available to stream at the following link:
