Synopsis:

​​​​​​​[Party of Five] is a Halloween visual art exhibition by Artblovk pop-up gallery, featuring an illustrated smorgasbord inspired by role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons, final fantasy and more!

Inviting illustrators based in Singapore and creators in arts and the industry to design an adventurer avatar in any medium, be it an illustration, written text or even sculpture, which will be randomly grouped together in parties of five to respond to an Ai-generated artwork as a 'final boss' of sorts.

Inspiring, cheeky and wondrous, the exhibition aims to question audiences how narratives are formed through the presentation of randomised, juxtaposed artwork, and invites participants and visitors alike to construct a narrative framework through the experience of the gallery and its dialogue between the grouped artworks.

Participating artists:
Comet Girl
Biranger
Chryldraws
Tropikaldaze
Anboshan
A Good Citizen
Craftsmanjono
Kenfoo
Ye Zhen
Azridjokoloro

and more!

The Halloween showcase is a recurring themed pop-up show by Artblovk Pop-up Gallery, which aims to feature and bring together intergenerational arts talents in the illustrations, comics and games industry and build a community of like-minded artists to celebrate arts in Singapore. Returning after a brief hiatus from the Covid-19 Pandemic, Artblovk pop-up gallery once again works together with local partners and luminaries like Basheer graphics books to provide a platform that supports visual arts.

[Party of Five] will open on 28 OCT 2022 with a reception at 7pm with participating artists, who will be available for interviews and a curated tour of the exhibition.
