Art Collective 3: Festive Wonders invites you to embrace the magic of the festive season through the eyes of artists from around the world. One of the most anticipated exhibitions of the year, Festive Wonders brings together a rich tapestry of cultural expressions, celebrating the excitement of New Year’s renewal, and the profound traditions of Chinese New Year. Through these unique perspectives, the exhibition transcends cultural boundaries, weaving a story of holiday traditions and shared human experiences that unite us all.

Step into an immersive setting where you’ll feel the sparkle of Christmas lights, the energy of new beginnings, and the symbolism of the Lunar New Year come alive. Presented by Be One Gallery, in collaboration with FortyTwo and in support of the Breast Cancer Foundation Singapore, Art Collective 3: Festive Wonders opens in January, 2025, and runs until March 31, 2025, at Qoltured by FortyTwo, #03-03, Raffles City Shopping Centre, Singapore. Open daily from 11 AM to 9 PM, this exhibition promises to be a highlight of the season, blending holiday traditions from around the globe into a single, harmonious celebration.

At its heart, Festive Wonders is about unity in diversity. As part of Be One Gallery’s mission to promote cultural understanding and creative exchange, the exhibition unites artists from different backgrounds to explore the season’s universal themes—love, hope, gratitude, and renewal. Each piece invites you to connect with these emotions through vibrant colors, meaningful forms, and symbolic motifs. By showcasing both local and international artistry, Festive Wonders enriches Singapore’s festive celebrations while fostering a deeper appreciation for the shared joy that bridges cultures worldwide.

This year, we’re honored to continue our partnership with the Breast Cancer Foundation Singapore. Through Art Collective 3: Festive Wonders, we aim to inspire hope, uplift spirits, and contribute to a cause that holds deep meaning for our community. Art has the power to heal, to bring us together, and to remind us of the compassion and resilience that define the human spirit.

As you explore Festive Wonders, let the beauty of global traditions and the warmth of togetherness fill your heart. Each artwork tells a story of connection and shared humanity, reminding us that, despite our differences, we are united by the universal language of celebration and creativity. Join us this festive season as we celebrate not only the joy of the holidays but also the power of art to bring people together and make a meaningful impact. Let art inspire you, move you, and bring you closer to what truly matters.

In the spirit of Christmas and New Year, let us give thanks to the Creator for the good things this year and have faith that the New Year will be just as great as this year. My painting Sheep may Safely Graze reflects on the love and divine guidance of God. Just like the Sheep, we must have faith and trust in the Good Shepherd to receive all the goodness. The vibrant colors and textures evoke a sense of joy and renewal, echoing the message of hope and abundance.  Owning “Sheep May Safely Graze” is an invitation to reflect on the care and love that guide us through life’s journeys. Lastly, this piece is inspired by Bach’s cantata the Sheep May Safely Graze (Listen below). Click below to view more about the painting.
