Seven groups of art works, including paintings, jewellery, potteries and fashionable dressing, will be exhibited to show the cross-cultural viewpoints of Singapore designers.

Sauhoong Lim, a famous advertisement designer in Singapore, said "all what we learned in the past are our sources of creation, no matter which country or which culture they stemmed from."

Tan KAY Ngee, a celebrated architect of Singapore, "I use most popular architectural material plywood to re-explain the traditional Chinese art of paper cutting and paper folding. It's another kind of Chinese landscape painting."

Works of other famous artists, such as fashionable dressing designer Ashley Isham, Jessie Lim, the first woman takes an individual pottery exhibition in Singapore, are particularly created for this exhibition.

"Most of these works are initially designed for this show, and part of them are classic ones, but all are unique," Tan said.
