A Brush with the Chinese Zodiac: A Solo Exhibition by Sue Olivier

#goingplaces For art lovers and curious minds alike, Sue Olivier’s solo exhibition, A Brush with the Chinese Zodiac, offers a delightful journey into the world of playful creativity and cultural appreciation. Held at the Visual Art Centre in Dhoby Ghaut Green from November 15th to 17th, 2024, the exhibition is a celebration of Sue’s deep admiration for Asian culture, brought to life through her charming interpretations of the Chinese zodiac animals. Sue Olivier’s paintings stand out for their whimsical take on the 13 zodiac animals (yes, 13—there’s an extra one you’ll have to discover for yourself!). Each creature is depicted with a playful personality that jumps off the canvas, making them more than just symbols of the lunar calendar. The Rat, for instance, might be caught mid-laugh, while the Tiger exudes mischievous energy. Sue has taken these traditional icons and infused them with a sense of humor and warmth, creating pieces that are as fun as they are meaningful. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a fan of the Chinese zodiac, or just someone who enjoys a bit of whimsy, A Brush with the Chinese Zodiac promises to be an exhibition that will leave you inspired and entertained. Don’t forget to visit before it closes on November 17th!
