“I’ve Lost an Ocean” art exhibition in April March 12, 2007
Artwork title:
Right now: I don’t need anything
The series of works to be featured in April by Xin is a continuation to her debut exhibition Pleased to Meet You at MAAD in February. With a total of 20 ink drawings and paintings, all works were snapped up by 5 buyers within the two days that the exhibition was held. Xin and her exhibition were also featured on Arts Central in March.
I’ve Lost an Ocean depicts the loss of love, but more precisely, the loss of a friend. This series portray scenes from movies that depicted and dealt with similar issues of accepting drastic changes and growing from these experiences. Xin (as she is affectionately known as) chose to use red as the predominant colour throughout the works. Red is used as a color to show love and intimacy as well as guilt and denial. The choice of basic colours used also reflects the rawness and simplicity of human emotions caught in the midst of complex human relationships.
Exhibition will be held at red dot design museum (concurrently with MAAD) on April 7 & 8, 11am – 7pm.
We will be selling our Maki Squarepatch wares there too See you!
thank you Jaclyn :) March 8, 2007
just wanna say a big thank you to Jaclyn for giving us a small feature on the latest fashion read Kate magazine, a cutely sized magazine that’s easy to carry around! i really dig mags this size btw. it gets dog-eared less easily in my huge (and usually messy) tote bag.
thanks for popping by MAAD last weekend and picking up Kissy Kisses! as a memoir for Kissy Kisses, now renamed CLOWN under its new owner here’s its picture again:
glad it made it to a good new home! and here’s us being covered in Kate. whoopee!

xin’s solo art exhibition…whew! February 4, 2007
Xin held her first solo art exhibition on MAAD premises over the weekend, 3 & 4 feb, where she put up mainly illustrations and 2 oil paintings. themed ‘Pleased To Meet You’, the inspiration came from having lost somebody dear at heart. Her works captured moments in any relationships, like that awkward silence, that i-love-you-but-i-don’t-need-to-say-it moments and others. we didn’t have time (or good lighting) to capture the works on camera but here are some glimpses of it:
amidst red dot design museum’s winning awards and the plushie was used as a lead-in to draw people into the exhibition area.
it is also our pleasure to announce that out of 20 works displayed, 19 were sold )) we’re still in shock given the short time frame the exhibition was but nevertheless we wish to thank you, you 4 buyers that we know/saw and 1 anonymous buyer.
we would also like to take this chance to thank MAAD for their wonderful premise and to encourage fellow artists and designers to consider taking up an exhibition space there to showcase your works. boldly we went forth and amazing results we got
