Fine art gallery, Barnadas Huang, is all set to host a special collection of paintings in Singapore, by celebrated Spanish artist Ulpiano Carrasco. Though native to Spain, Carrasco has had his work displayed in museums and added to private collections around the world. His work is also regularly exhibited in galleries in the U.S, Europe and Asia. Fusing elements of expressionism, impressionism and cubism, Carrasco’s latest Singapore series of paintings are inspired by the story of the island’s development from a trading port to a cosmopolitan city.

The solo exhibition, titled ‘Blazing City’, will start from January 16, 2014 and will be held at the Barnadas Huang gallery in Dempsey Road, Singapore. The series features Carrasco’s interpretations of Singaporean places and landmarks rendered in his signature vivid style. The paintings, portraying iconic places like the Fullerton Hotel, Boat Quay and the Marina Bay area, are drenched in saturated reds and yellows, capturing the energy of the city in his distinctive jewel hues.

Exclusive to Barnadas Huang, a sale of Carrasco’s Singapore paintings will comprise of eight paintings measuring 100cm x 100cm, two measuring 90cm x 130cm, two measuring 90cm x 140cm and a stunning showstopper spanning 140cm x 240cm.

“For the first time Ulpiano Carrasco is doing a limited series of 13 paintings on Singapore. (He) is in the prime of his career and Blazing City is said to be his best work so far. We have received very strong interest from local and international collectors.” Benjamin Ng, co-owner of the Barnadas Huang gallery.
