“Marketing” by Chia Yu Chian (Malaysian) - Oil on canvas / 1971 - National Gallery Singapore (Singapore) #WomenInArt #ChiaYuChian #NationalGallerySingapore #MalaysianArt #AsianArt #WomenAtWork #ModernArt #art #artText #arte #SocialRealism #Modernism #1970sArt #MalaysianArtist #SoutheastAsianArt

Malaysian artist Chia Yu Chian turns an everyday transaction into a densely observed portrait of social life. Rather than monumentalizing a single person, he lets individuals overlap, bend, wait, examine goods, converse, and negotiate within a shared public space. The title “Marketing” uses an older sense of the word like “going to market to buy provisions.” Women dominate the scene, appearing as shoppers, vendors, and participants in the informal economy that sustained daily urban life. A crowded open-air market fills this vertical oil painting with women, produce, and overlapping bodies. Closest to us, a dark-haired woman in a vivid coral-red top sits with her back turned, her patterned skirt spreading across the lower edge. Nearby is vendor in brown seated behind baskets and low tables overflowing with bananas, leafy vegetables, red and green fruit, and other goods. Behind them, women cluster closely together: one in a lavender headscarf and white clothing raises a hand toward her face, while others wear yellow, turquoise, green, pink, and patterned garments. Faces emerge and disappear among the tightly packed figures. A pale mint-green background surrounds the group, intensifying the saturated colors and compressed bustle of the market. Born in Johor in 1936, Chia developed his practice between Malaysia, Singapore, and Paris. He studied privately with Nanyang painter Chen Wen Hsi before receiving a French government scholarship to study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. After returning to Malaysia, Chia increasingly focused on ordinary people and the rapidly changing life of Kuala Lumpur. His later paintings became especially attentive to workers, street vendors, families, hospital patients, and others rarely treated as heroic subjects. In “Marketing,” thick outlines, flattened space, and exuberant color transform a familiar market into a record of human proximity: noisy, crowded, imperfect, and alive.

St Joseph's Denbigh, 1968, by Gwilym Parry Davies & Associates, a ‘hyperbolic paraboloid’ – resembling a saddle (or a popular brand of crisp 😀) - constructed of brick and concrete and with a winged roof and an atmospheric parallelogram interior. Discover #Modernism on #Coflein zurl.co/RzDbg

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret was born in Switzerland #OnThisDay in 1887. #LeCorbusier was one of the most influential architects of the 20th c. & had a huge influence on the development of #modernism; it's now time for #architecture to move in a different direction...

The blending of art, life, the human experience and spirituality in all the work was absolutely amazing! I'm really excited to learn more about all of the artists, classic and modern, and seeing more of their work.

I'm still impressed with #kiosk #k67 from 1966 #Yugoslavia...

Saša Janez Mächtig drop-kicked #modernism into Yugoslav streets with #polyfiber-reinforced modular #pods. These weren't just #design objects — they were LEGOs for #urban infrastructure. Stack. Combine. Adapt.
