RE
‘RE’ is a prefix used with the meaning “again” to signify repetition or used with the meaning “back” to indicate backward motion as in regenerate; reinterpret and recapture.
The exhibition RE by Andre Tan is about recreating and rethinking. This series of paintings is built as a progression in the imagery of the Arts: from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, progressing to Modern Art, and Contemporary Art. The artist reinterprets traditional and popular imagery to offer his playful reworking and translation to the viewer.
Andre Tan addresses ironies and social ills apparent in our contemporary society today with a humorous approach. His images are familiar to many, yet somewhat “different”, which forces the audience to rethink the meaning behind the images and our cultural references.
