The first and only art gallery in Singapore that allows visitors to rent fine paintings. Artualize is the brainchild of former accountant Low Sok Leng, who inherited her late father’s life collection of more than a thousand paintings. To continue his legacy and two decades of artistic dream, Sok Leng decided to democratise the assemblage by making them available to everyone.
With prices starting at just $96 per month, anyone can indulge in the beauty of over 60 scenic oil-on-paper works, all of which come with a cover and a guarantee of awe-inspiring ambience.
On top of rental, Artualize helps cultivate budding collectors by providing access to a wide range of artists (mostly local), and mediums, including oil, acrylic, watercolour, Chinese ink, and even NFTs. With the support of her late father’s artistic friends, Sok Leng also hosts regular exhibitions and art appreciation workshops to teach others to care, curate, frame, and display their personal collections.
