MADE IN SINGAPORE - Moon and Sun

Made In Singapore - an exhibition heldon August 29 until September 7 2013, took place in NAFA Galleries 1 & 2 and also at Lim Hak Tai Gallery in order to celebrate 75 years of arts education in Singapore. There are a lot of scluptures, paintings, and designs shown during the exhibition but the one that really caught my eyes is a pair of lollipop-shaped objects hung on a side of the wall. 

Gekko & Nikko - that's how it is called. Meaning that one of them actually potrays the Moon (Gekko) and the one beside him is Nikko, the Sun. As written on the explanation of the design, Gekko & Nikko are a pair of art objects thta as neo-artefacts inspire the sense of ethereal in the tradition of historical art objects.

Gekko & Nikko

The designer herself, Ang Soo Koon, admits that she loves to try experimenting with all type of different medias, including print, photography, drawing, installation, and film. She created Gekko & Nikko on 2006, consisted of mixed media in size of 60 x 60 x 180cm.
