As we gear up for Affordable Art Fair Singapore 2025 this November, our team has been busy exploring the inspiring works from 95 exhibiting galleries joining us this year. Among these, we have selected our team picks, ranging from stunning digital prints to experimental paintings. The diversity of art on display celebrates the vibrant and ever-evolving art scene we love to champion.
This week, we turned the spotlight inward, asking our Singapore team to share their personal favourites. These are the artworks that caught their eye, spoke to their hearts, and lingered in their minds.
Read on to explore our team’s picks!
Alan | Fair Director
Our affable Singapore Fair Director, Alan Koh, shares why Dylan Chan’s work struck such a chord:
“Dylan Chan’s artwork deeply resonates with me as an LGBTQ+ individual in Singapore. It’s rare to encounter such a compelling exploration of queer identity within our local context. His work immediately captured my attention — not only because of its striking presentation but also for the profound messages it conveys.
By addressing themes of identity, queerness, and belonging, Dylan brings forward conversations that are often overlooked. He uses art as a language for empathy and understanding something vital for our collective growth as a society.”
Dylan Chan is a multidisciplinary artist who effortlessly moves between image-making, installation, and painting—often blurring the boundaries of surface and texture.
At the heart of Dylan’s practice lies a curiosity about queerness, identity, and materiality—and how these elements come together to shape the spaces we inhabit. His works often reflect on the body’s connection to domestic environments, asking how the objects around us hold memories, comfort, and even tension.
By weaving together personal reflections with collective experiences, Dylan invites us to rethink what it means to feel at home—with ourselves, and with others. His art opens a quiet yet powerful dialogue about intimacy, belonging, and the unseen emotional textures of everyday life.
Adelyn | Marketing Executive
Our carefree Marketing Executive, Adelyn, shares why this vibrant work immediately caught her eye:
There’s something captivating about how Huang Zhe reinterprets cubist energy through a modern lens. The fragmented shapes and bold colour planes feel both analytical and playful — a nod to Picasso’s spirit, yet completely his own.
“I love how this piece feels both familiar and unexpected. There’s a rhythm to it, a sense of movement that keeps shifting, like you see something new each time you look at it. It’s bold, a little chaotic, but beautifully balanced exactly the kind of artwork that keeps you thinking long after you’ve walked away.”
Anson | Financial Coordinartor
Our upbeat Finance Coordinator, Anson Koh, shares why this contemplative piece resonated with him:
“I like the calmness the artwork brings. It looks like the person walking towards the house is returning to the starting point. When we calm our mind and block out the world to have a conversation with ourselves in silence, we might see that we always had the answer we were looking for.
The Path of Silence may seem lonely and sad at first, but to me, it conveys peacefulness and clarity. It’s the kind of work that reminds you stillness can be strength.”
Bernice | Financial Controller Asia
Our lovely Financial Controller, Asia, Bernice, embodies calm and clarity; qualities mirrored in her favourite piece:
“With quiet grace and reflective presence, Ainslie’s artwork captures the serenity of tranquil waters beneath a soft pastel sky. It evokes that moment when thoughts settle and clarity emerges — a gentle reminder that peace doesn’t shout; it simply is.”
Joy | Marketing Intern & Fair Assistant
Our thoughtful and gentle Marketing Intern, Joy, shares why this serene work spoke to her:
“When I first encountered this artwork, I instantly knew it would be my favourite. The delicate shadow of a tree is so simple, yet so moving; feels both refreshing and contemplative. It reminds me of the quiet moments we often overlook in our fast-paced lives.“
Lee JuHee’s work captures fleeting stillness and transforms it into something deeply peaceful. The layering of materials enhances the sense of lightness and time passing, a soft invitation to slow down and breathe.
Kelly | Fair Manager
Our free-spirited Fair Manager, Kelly, shares what drew her to this quietly striking piece:
“There’s something deeply calming about this painting, almost like peeking into two parallel worlds that could exist at once. The top half captures the sea with such realism — cloudy skies, jagged rocks, rippling waves while the bottom half feels dreamlike, blurred as if seen through water.
I love how the artist layers textures to create depth and distance, giving the sense that the painting itself exists between two realities. Instead of saying ‘pick one,’ it whispers ‘why not have both?’ (very Libra of me!).
There’s peace and pause in it, but also playfulness. The clash of images makes the painting feel beautifully unreal.”
Ping | Operations Executive
Our tenacious Operations Executive, Ping, has long admired Hong Sek Chern’s mastery of ink on paper:
“I’ve always been mesmerised by how ink seeps into and diffuses across rice paper to create an ethereal, almost otherworldly glow. Hong Sek Chern’s work feels like a dreamscape I could wander through endlessly. Each brushstroke carries quiet deliberation, evoking serenity and introspection.
There’s a meditative quality that pulls you in — inviting you to pause, reflect, and lose yourself in its delicate layers of texture and light.”
Sharon | Gallery Intern
Our cheerful Gallery Intern, Sharon, shares why Jingo Yu’s luminous work continues to captivate her:
“This piece emanates a quiet radiance that feels almost meditative. Crafted with mother of pearl, its surface shimmers with an ethereal light — ever-shifting, like the delicate hues of the sky as day gives way to dusk.
There’s a tenderness in its glow, as though the artwork breathes with the soft pulse of nature itself. It invites stillness amid motion, offering comfort in its calm and poetry in its silence. Each time I look at it, I’m reminded of those fleeting moments when the world feels suspended between light and dream — where everything slows, warms, and simply is.”
