The Art World

You never know when a trip to a thrift store or a garage sale might turn up something truly special. From overlooked paintings and ceramics to rare documents tucked away, these pieces remind us to look closely, appreciate the layers of life, maybe one day you too will find a truly special artwork.

For our third instalment of AA Adopts, we speak with William Ng as he shares how two very different artworks found a home in his office, and the unexpected ways they've shaped the space around him.

For our second instalment of AA Adopts, we feature Amanda and Joshua as they share about their first-ever artwork acquisition for their newly renovated BTO flat, their special encounter with the seller of the artwork, and the messaging behind the piece.

AA Artists is a spotlight on overlooked artists whose work deserves greater recognition.
In our first instalment, we feature the late Toya Lim Khoon Hock (Malaysian, 1943–2016), a pioneer of batik impressionism. Known for his lineless technique, his works captured rural Malaysian life with care and technical precision, challenging what batik could be.
