After a successful first designer toy exhibition at Gillman Barracks in June, TheFinalBosses is launching a sequel at Plaza Singapore from August 15 to September 19. With the upsurge of interest for designer toys and resurgence of figurative art, PALADIN is a showcase of artists coming together, weaving their narratives through their art and translating their thoughts and lived experiences onto the toys and art pieces.
PALADIN by TheFinalBosses aims to use art pieces as an avenue to shed light on the topic of bullying. The exhibition features original limited-edition designer toys from TheFinalBosses and 18 international and local partner artists. Most notably, veteran artist Koeh Sia Yong. The artist is a household name within the local art scene and he has been an illustrator and artist for over sixty years.
Famed for his realistic and expressive approaches, using bold and unrestrained brush strokes, Koeh Sia Yong is one of the most outstanding and highly collected artists in Singapore today. You'll find his work exhibited in the National Gallery Singapore, alongside the commercial development of art through magazines, art catalogues, political cartoons, and such.
That's not all. Shoppers at Plaza Singapura will be also able to immerse themselves in the designer toy scene. TheFinalBosses will be giving two lucky winners a chance to win an exclusive limited-edition designer collectable through a social media contest. You can find out more about the contest from TheFinalBosses's Instagram page @thefinalbosses, or through their website at thefinalbosses.
