"Revolution Is Female" by Rasha Eleyan, 2024

Series: Revolution Is Female

Arty-Fact: “My series Revolution Is Female serves as a way to deal with unexpected change – and trying to revolt against rules that are beyond my control.

“The series features still life art that is loaded with symbolism and is undeniably from a female perspective. It touches on women's rights and men’s authority, a demanding art market and trying to make sense of a world gone astray.” ~ Rasha Eleyan

Never underestimate or undervalue and artist; they make life beautiful ❤️ As a palliative care person in constant pain, I use music/books/films/art etc to distract myself from the pain... there are days I honestly wouldn’t have survived without art. #artistsareessential (at Llansamlet) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-eCCsnjZ58/?igshid=1v6rjz12fx6ok

"If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him. We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth." ~ President John F. Kennedy: Remarks at Amherst College, October 26, 1963

Amid threats to freedom, career moves and censorship become hard to tell apart.

"Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought." ~ Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

"The Researcher" by Martin Whatson, 2019

Arty-Fact: “I’ve always wanted to introduce the ‘street’ to people’s homes or a cheerful happy moment in people’s travel through a city. A goal is to surprise and brighten up your day discovering my external works. I’m continuously hiding messages in my art, both as an overall body of work, but also as individual artwork.” ~ Martin Whatson

The Boiling Frog Syndrome

Death (sitting in a hot tub): Your planet is boiling and all you guys seem to care about is insignificant stuff like celebrities, sports and gadgets. Why is that?

Dead Maiden [who got hit by a bus while she was on the phone}: Don't know, don't care.

A Frog: Got room for one more?

~ Death And The Maiden, Jorgen Van Santen

"No One Can Save Us" by Mojoko, 2014

Arty-Fact: “No One Can Save Us” was derived from the larger-than-life Melting Superhero which was placed in front of the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) during the 2012 Future Proof exhibition.

A collaboration between Mojoko and fellow artist Eric Foenander, the massive figure in blue tights and a red codpiece was hard to miss and even more striking for its lack of torso and head. At first glance it was comical – this gaudy, brawny mess dripping and dissolving like a giant candle. But it didn’t take long before the message was clear – No One Can Save Us.

The artwork sums up how even our superheroes can’t prevent us from continuing to heat up the planet and destroy our own existence.

You may have seen the larger-than-life Melting Superhero in front of the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) during the 2012 Future Proof exhibition. A collaboration between Mojoko and fellow artist Eric Foenander, the massive figure in blue tights and a red codpiece was hard to miss and even more striking for its lack of torso and head. At first glance it was comical - this gaudy, brawny mess dripping and dissolving like a giant candle. But it didn’t take long before the message was clear - No One Can Save Us. The title of the artwork sums up how even our superheroes can’t prevent us from continuing to heat up the planet and destroy our own existence.

"We Still Are" by Rasha Eleyan, 2024

Series: Revolution Is Female
